Surfd
Dogfood, in public

We measure ourselves too

Surfd's whole thesis is that AI discoverability is measurable, not a matter of faith. It would be dishonest to sell that and hide our own numbers. So here they are, measured the same way we measure yours, updated as we go.

0/5Answers that named SurfdMeasured on 2026-07-04 via Perplexity (web-connected), asking the questions our buyers would ask.

Why we show a zero

Surfd is new, and the assistants have not read enough about us yet to name us for these questions. Pretending otherwise would break the one promise the product is built on.

This is also the exact situation most of our users start in. The difference between invisible and cited is crawlable, corroborated, quotable content that the engines can read, published consistently over time. We are doing that in public, and you can watch the number move.

The questions we measured

  • What are the best tools to see how AI and ChatGPT describe a person?
  • How can I check if AI assistants and recruiters can find me?
  • Best tools for personal generative engine optimization (GEO) for individuals.
  • What tools help you get found by AI recruiters?
  • How do I measure my personal AI discoverability?

What the assistant cited instead

When people ask AI for tools like ours, these are the pages it pulls from. None point to us yet. Closing that gap is the work, and this page tracks it.
