A few useful answers
[H2] Before you start.
Have a different question?Talk to us →
What do I get for free?+A newly verified account receives one complete AI search and report. Start with your business, a specific page or your own question, then review the question, market and language before you search. No card is required.
Which AI sources are included?+Every search asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews by default, for one credit per question. Google organic results can be collected as their own search, for one credit per question, and are kept apart from AI answers. Claude and Perplexity answers come from their APIs with web search, which can differ from a signed-in conversation. Your workspace confirms availability before a search.
What exactly does one credit buy?+One credit buys one complete buyer-question search across your selected available sources, in one market and language, plus its saved report. Additional questions, markets or repeat runs are separate searches. Failed or incomplete searches cost no credit; reading and exporting saved reports is free.
Is this a subscription?+Yes. Choose a monthly plan with 100, 300 or 750 credits. The allowance resets each paid billing period; unused monthly credits do not roll over. Cancel renewal in Billing and your subscription continues to the end of the paid period. There are no automatic overage charges. Plan and top-up credits expire at the end of the billing month and do not roll over. Credits bought as one-time packs before monthly plans launched keep their balance and are shown separately.
Can the report guarantee better AI visibility?+No. It shows what the selected AI sources returned for your question at collection time, then helps you choose improvements to test. AI answers vary. Comparable repeat searches can show changes; they do not prove that a particular edit caused them.
Your next customer may be asking AI.

USEFUL ANSWERS
[H2] Know what you are subscribing to.
Can I try IndexHalo for free?+Yes. One free complete AI search and report after you verify your email. No card required.What does one credit include?+One credit equals one complete search and saved report: one buyer question, one market and language, one run across your selected available sources. Analysis, evidence and report exports are included. More questions, markets, languages or repeat runs use more credits; the number of selected sources does not multiply the credits.Does every plan include the same features?+Yes. Professional, Business and Agency include the same full package: sources, analytics, reports, exports, integrations and scheduling. There are no tier-based seat, workspace, source or feature limits. Only the monthly allowances change: credits, Ask your data questions, page-fix drafts and question generator runs.Do monthly credits roll over?+No. Your allowance resets each paid monthly billing period. Plan and top-up credits expire at the end of the billing month and do not roll over. Credits bought as one-time packs before monthly plans launched keep their balance and are shown separately.How do I cancel?+Cancel renewal from Plan, usage and billing in your account. Your subscription continues until the end of the paid period, and it will not renew after that. Credits bought as one-time packs before monthly plans launched keep their balance.What happens when credits run out?+There are no automatic overage charges. New searches pause when no plan, top-up or earlier one-time pack credits remain. Subscribers can add a top-up pack or upgrade in Billing, or wait for the next paid renewal. Saved reports remain available to read and export.Can I add credits during the month?+Yes. Subscribers can add a top-up pack in Billing while at least a day of the billing month remains: 100 credits for $49, 300 credits for $129 or 750 credits for $299. Top-up credits expire with your plan credits at the end of the billing month. Credits bought as one-time packs before monthly plans launched keep their balance and are shown separately.What happens if a search fails?+A credit is consumed only when every selected source returns usable evidence and the complete report is saved. Failed or incomplete searches release the reserved credit; partial evidence is labelled clearly.Which sources are included?+Every search asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews by default, for one credit per question. Google organic results can be collected as their own search, for one credit per question, and are kept apart from AI answers. Claude and Perplexity answers come from their APIs with web search, which can differ from a signed-in conversation. Every plan includes the same sources, and the workspace confirms current availability before a search.How often can I run my questions?+Run a search whenever you need one. Schedule a saved question set daily, weekly or monthly. When you set the schedule, you approve a credit limit per run and per month; each scheduled run uses one credit per question and market. A saved question is not a daily unlimited entitlement, and the calculator helps you plan the total before scheduling.What currency will I pay in?+Plans are billed monthly in US dollars. Applicable taxes are added at checkout, which shows the final amount before payment. Your card issuer may convert the payment if you use another currency.

[H2] The problem
Local buyers ask assistants for the best provider in their town. Answers rarely say which branch they mean, opening hours and phone numbers drift out of date, and a city named in a question is not the same as a measurement taken in that city. You need each branch measured on its own, with the collection precision stated.

Facts reviewed 22 October 2026 against the live product.Each capability below says what it does, where it is in the product and whether it is live. “Available once connected” means the feature is built and switches on when its connection is set up. “Source on request” means the code is shared on request (support@indexhalo.com) for you to deploy; it is not a listed app or public download.
AT A GLANCE
[H2] The short version.
IndexHalo asks your buyers' questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, keeps every full answer and citation, and turns them into findings, actions and reports.The interface, reports and emails are in English. You can track questions in 13 countries and 17 question languages; each saved question keeps its own market and language, and every answer is kept word for word in its original language. Tone, recommendation, reputation and positioning rules read English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch answers. Spanish wording has been checked on test passages only, not yet on real answers. Answers in other languages show 'not classified (language)', never a zero. Buyer routing, Why-this-answer criteria, concern sources and fact disagreements read English answers only for now.Results are counts with their denominators, for example “Named in 31 of 50 answers”. Being named is kept apart from being recommended, unknown is never shown as zero, and change is shown only between matched repeat checks.
