Understanding your dashboard

Your dashboard is the page to open first, every day. The dashboard is your brand’s home screen. It answers one question: did your AI visibility move since you last looked, and if so, why. Every number on it is counted from the AI answers FixAEO collected on your scan schedule. See Understanding AI answers for where that data comes from. The page is titled Today. At the top you pick a window: 7, 30, or 90 days. It opens on 30.

​

What’s in the header?

Four things, in reading order. A status pill next to your brand name. It reads Healthy, At risk, or Critical, based on how far your score moved across the window. It reads Scan in progress when today’s scan hasn’t finished. An engine status row. One pill per engine your plan tracks, plus any engine that has returned data, and a summary line: “all 6 responding”, “6 engines tracked” while one still waits on its first result, or “3 of 6 not responding”. Today, a one-line summary. It appears only when something meaningful moved — your visibility, a competitor’s share, or sentiment. Otherwise it hides rather than saying “all quiet”. Visibility Score, the hero number, with a change chip reading vs window start and a trend chart. The hero covers the whole window, so it won’t match the last point on the chart, which is a single day. Visibility Score explains the metric. All four, stacked in that order:

​

Why does engine status matter so much?

Because a provider outage looks exactly like a visibility crash if you don’t check. A pill reads healthy when that engine returned answers in your latest scan. It reads down when the engine answered earlier in the window but returned nothing on the latest day. A grey pill reads Tracked — your plan covers that engine, but it hasn’t returned a first result for this brand yet. That’s not a failure, so it doesn’t count toward the “not responding” summary. While a scan is running, FixAEO hides the change chip and shows yesterday’s value instead. A half-finished day would otherwise read as a crash that never happened.

​

The three tiles

Below the hero sit Sentiment, Mentions, and Improve. Each links into its full view. Sentiment is the positive / neutral / negative split across classified mentions — see Sentiment. Mentions is always a 30-day count, whichever range tab you picked, so it stays comparable week to week. Improve is how many recommendations are still pending.

​

What’s in the left column?

• AI attribution — sessions, conversions, and revenue from AI referrals. Appears once you’ve connected Google Analytics.
• Agent traffic — which AI crawlers hit your site. See Agent analytics.
• Top movers — your biggest engine drop and the fastest-rising competitor. Both stay hidden while nothing has really moved.
• Topic visibility — your strongest topics by Visibility Score. Full view on Topics and labels.
• Recent mentions — the newest answers that named you, with engine, sentiment, and the prompt behind them.

​

What’s in the right column?

• Brand industry ranking — share-of-voice bars against every brand the engines named in your category. Full view on Industry benchmarks, the metric itself on Share of voice.
• Alerts that fired — rules that triggered inside the window. Set them up on Alerts.
• Improve — your most pressing pending recommendations.
• Connect to unlock more — integrations you haven’t set up yet.

Track more than one brand and a Your other brands row appears, with a chip per brand and a link to the portfolio rollup. See Managing brands.

​

Why is my dashboard empty?

Two common reasons. Your profile is incomplete. Until your brand name and industry are filled in, the dashboard shows a “complete your profile” prompt instead of panels. Without a brand name there’s nothing to match answers against, so every number would read 0%. Fill the fields in on Your brand profile. No scans have run yet. Scheduled scans start on a paid plan, and the cadence depends on which one. See Plans and limits.
