Complete your brand profile to help Lantern track the right data:

  2. Add your key products or services - Lantern will track mentions of specific products
  3. Define your main competitors (optional) - Benchmark your visibility against competitors
  4. Select the AI platforms you want to monitor - Choose from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude
Lantern will start tracking your brand mentions immediately after setup.

​
Step 2: Configure Monitoring

Define the queries you want to monitor across AI platforms:
  • Product comparison queries: “What are the best [product category]?”
  • Direct brand queries: “Tell me about [your brand]”
  • Use case queries: “Best solution for [specific need]”
  • Competitive queries: “Compare [your brand] vs [competitor]“
Start with 5-10 high-priority prompts and expand from there.
Add Lantern’s tracking snippet to your website to monitor AI-generated traffic:
<script>
  (function(l,a,n,t,e,r,n){
    // Lantern tracking code will be provided in your dashboard
  })();
</script>
Place this code in your website’s <head> section to start tracking visitors from AI conversations.
