AI favours you on 3 of 3

Willowdale Equity is framed as a more credible and focused option in the multifamily real estate space, emphasizing its direct operational role and specific investment strategy targeting Class B and C properties in the Southeastern U.S. In contrast, Goodegg Investments is portrayed less favorably, lacking the same level of operational history and depth in investment strategy, primarily serving as a platform for investor education and access rather than a direct operator.

Every mention

A label and a score,
on each answer that names you.

Each answer that mentions your brand is classified positive, neutral or negative and scored from minus 100 to plus 100. An answer that never names you gets neither, because absence is a visibility problem rather than a bad review. The headline figure is the average of the scored ones on a 0 to 100 scale, printed next to the count it came from.

What keeps recurring,
and why it recurs.

Sentiment gives you the tone. Attributes give you the content: the recurring phrases the answers attach to your brand, up to fifteen of them, split by whether the prompt named you, each sized by how many answers touched on it and coloured by whether it reads as a strength, a concern or a plain fact. Each tile shows the assistants that said it. Hover one for the reason, who said it and the two pages most read behind it; click it for every answer and page. A negative attribute also gets a recommended fix, written only from those pages.

Perception

The read an analyst
would have written.

One score out of 100 on a half-moon dial, the same figure as the sentiment score, with a thin inner arc split by the positive, neutral and negative answers. Beside it, two or three sentences of narrative and your top three strengths and top three weaknesses: the positive and negative attributes the most answers state, each chip with its count. Switch models to see how one assistant frames you on its own, wherever that assistant produced at least two answers naming you. The checkable claims in those answers are on brand facts, and every answer behind a score opens from mentions and citations.

Head to head

Beside the competitors
you already track.

Pick any competitor from your tracked list, up to ten of them. Verand reads the answers that name you and the answers that name them, and returns visibility, average position, sentiment and what each of you is known for. It still builds when you are at zero percent, because that absence is the finding. Brand Shape draws you and up to five tracked competitors as a network: the attributes come from both sides, a rival that leads one by 10 points or more, on enough answers to call it, sits beside it, and a wire resting on one answer is dashed. Each share is the share of answers naming that brand that give it that attribute, counted rather than judged, once you have at least three attributes to draw. It’s rebuilt weekly from a sample of the last 30 days. Drag any node, or hover an attribute for the numbers.

Brand Shape

You and your rivals,
on what AI says about each of you.

Brand Shape draws the attributes AI gives you and your tracked competitors: your strongest first, then each rival’s own. A rival that leads one by 10 points or more, on enough answers to call it, sits beside it, each label shows your share, and the line under the title says where you lead and where you don’t.

Why it's said

Click an attribute
to see why AI says it.

Every attribute opens a drawer: how many answers said it, from which assistants and how many pages, and why AI frames you this way. A negative one comes with a recommended fix, page by page: what to change on your own site, and what the other pages the answers read say.

Opportunities

Negative attributes
land in Opportunities.

What AI says against you doesn't stay on the Sentiment tab. Each negative attribute becomes an Opportunity with the assistants that said it, the pages they read and a one-line fix, beside the rest of your worklist.

How it works

Written after every scan, not behind a button.

Four steps over the trailing thirty days of answers. You start none of them.

Start for free
01

The scan collects answers

Up to six assistants answer your prompts. Four run daily, two weekly.

71/100 · 1141 answers name you · 901 to prompts that name you · 38% positive

Each mention is labelled

Only the answers that name you. The rest have no sentiment to read.

The window is synthesised

Thirty days of mentions become the perception, attributes and comparisons, cached.

Questions

What people ask about how this is judged.

What is scored, what is extracted, who it compares you against, and what it will not do.

Is sentiment a score or a label?

Both, on every answer that names you. Each one gets a label (positive, neutral or negative) and a score from minus 100 to plus 100. The number at the top of the card is the average of the scored answers rescaled to 0 to 100, shown next to how many answers it was averaged over and what share of them were positive.

What happens if no assistant mentions us?

Nothing is scored, and the card says so rather than showing a zero. Sentiment only exists where a brand is named, so an unmentioned brand has no sentiment to read. Head-to-Head is the exception: it still builds, from the answers that name the competitor, and that absence is what it reports.

Where do the attributes come from?

From the answer text, not from anything you typed. Verand reads a window around each brand mention across the last thirty days, merges near-duplicates, and returns up to fifteen attributes, each with the number of answers that touched on it, a positive, neutral or negative reading, and a reason drawn from those answers.

What do I do about a negative attribute?

Open it. Each negative attribute keeps the answers that said it and the pages those answers were reading, and comes with a recommended fix of two to four steps. Every step points at one of those pages: fix your own page in Page Tracker, see what someone else's page or thread says and what to tell its author, or, when none of your pages is behind it, create a brief for the page you don't have yet. It may be true, so the fix is context, not denial: nothing in it claims the opposite, it adds no number the answers and pages didn't give, and every step runs through your compliance packs before you see it. Verand doesn't send anything. The fix is rewritten only when the evidence behind it changes, and Regenerate asks for a fresh one. It needs answers that name you: a brand the assistants don't mention has no attributes yet.

Which competitors does the head-to-head compare us against?

The ones on your tracked list in the Brand Hub, up to ten, so you are compared with who you say you compete with rather than whoever an answer happened to name. Brands the assistants name alongside you that are not on that list are discovered separately and shown on the Visibility tab.

Do I have to run anything?

No. All of it recomputes after each scan over the trailing thirty days and is cached, so the tab is already filled in when you open it. The only buttons are bootstrap ones, for a site whose first scan has not produced anything to read yet, or a competitor nobody has compared you with.

Can it invent a strength we do not have?

Every phrase is grounded in the answers, and a pass that fails writes nothing instead of guessing: the panel stays empty and the next scan retries. It reports how you are described, not whether the description is correct. That check is Brand Facts, the panel beside it.

Verand flagged that our address was written three different ways across the site, it generated the LocalBusiness schema, it wrote the Bonaire and Warner Robins guides, and it tracked which assistants picked them up.
