# The assistants cite creators now. Make sure they cite you. > A creator is not a website. You are a name spread across platforms an assistant reads in its own way, and you own almost none of that surface. We measure the three places an assistant learns who you are: the hub you own, the profiles the platforms expose, and what the assistants themselves say when asked. Measure, watch, fix, prove: the same loop. *Agent readiness for content creators* ## One creator. Three sources. Explore the loop: declare who you are, read the channel, ask the assistants, prove it with an agent, write the documents and verify the change. Select a stage to explore. ### Say who you are, once. Name, hub, platforms, business contact, audience. Every verdict is checked against what you declared, never against what a model guesses. ### See the channel the way a machine reads it. Eight checks over the channel and its last 25 uploads: identity, about, contact, hub, keywords, captions, chapters, naming. Verdicts, never a score. ### Find out whether an assistant names you, and gets you right. Your niche's real questions go to the engines with web search on. We count who is named, and check every claim about you against your declaration. ### Then a real agent tries to use it. A brand's errand on your hub, by an agent with no JavaScript and no privileges. Contact, platforms, media kit, topics: every step recorded. ### What we write, and where it stops. A description block in the order a machine reads, the channel keywords, a per-video template. Restructured from what you declared, nothing invented. ### Prove the change. Keep watching. The channel is re-read on a decaying schedule after a fix, and every month after that. Four alerts: a check that regresses, a mention that drops, a claim you never declared, a reading that fails. ## Three sources ### One creator, read from three places A website is one origin, and the scanner reads it over HTTP. A creator is an entity: a hub you control, accounts on platforms nobody can crawl, and a reputation that lives inside the assistants. Each source is read the way it can be read, and every finding lands in one room. - **The hub you own**: A domain, a newsletter archive, a podcast site. It runs through the same checks as any site, and the checks that only apply to a shop or a publisher are marked not applicable rather than scored as failures. This is the surface a score can live on, because it is the one you control. - **The profiles the platforms expose**: Your channel, read through the platform's official interface and never by scraping. YouTube today, from what the channel publishes. What comes back is a set of findings about how a machine reads your profile, not a score. - **What the assistants say**: Share of answer, pointed at a person. Your niche's real questions go to the engines with web search on, and we count whether your hub or your profiles were cited. A second kind of question asks about you by name, and the answer is checked against the facts you declared. ## The outcome you do not control ### Whether an assistant names you, and whether it gets you right A brand, a fan or a buyer asks an assistant before they open a search box, and gets back a handful of names. Category questions never name you and measure whether you are among them: cited with a link, mentioned with none, or absent. Accuracy questions name you on purpose: who you are, what you cover, how a brand reaches you. Every answer is kept word for word. - **A verdict in code, not in a model's opinion**: No model grades the answer. The platforms it names are compared with the ones you declared, the contact it gives with the one you chose to publish, the sponsors and affiliations it lists with your list. Anything named that you did not declare is reported as an unverified claim. - **Your declaration, never the truth**: We hold what you told us, not what is true. A sponsor an assistant invents is reported as not among your declared facts, never as false. That wording is a rule, because a finding about a person is a claim about a third party. - [How share of answer works](https://axrush.com/about/answers) ## The channel ### Your channel, read the way a machine reads it Each reading names what an agent cannot find and what it does instead. None of it enters a score: a platform's page belongs to the platform, and the number belongs on the surface you own. - **Identity**: The channel's title and handle against your hub and your other profiles. An agent that cannot line them up cannot tell you from a namesake. - **About**: Who you are, what you make and for whom, in the first lines of the description. Without them an agent summarises you from video titles. - **Contact**: A business line in the description, checked only if you opted in to publishing one. Without it an agent invents a mailbox or sends the brand elsewhere. - **Hub**: Your own site, linked wherever the platform lets you link it. Without the link an agent never reaches the one surface written for machines. - **Keywords**: The channel keywords, present and consistent with the topics you cover. Without them an agent classifies you from noise. - **Captions**: The share of recent uploads that carry captions. Without them an agent reads titles only, and the content itself is invisible. - **Chapters**: Timestamps in recent descriptions. Without them an agent cannot point at the part of a video that answers the question. - **Naming**: One title convention across recent uploads. Without it an agent cannot group a series or tell an episode from a one-off. ## The autofix ### What we write, and where it stops Everything generated is restructured from what you already publish or declared. Nothing is invented, no email is written unless you opted in, and no credential is ever asked for. - **For the hub**: An llms.txt with your name, one sentence, your platforms and your media kit. Person and ProfilePage structured data whose sameAs lists only the profiles you declared. A rel="me" link for each of them. - **For the channel**: A description block in the order a machine reads: who, what, for whom, hub, contact. A per-video template with chapters and a naming convention. Captions on. You apply the change on the platform, and the re-read that confirms it runs on the same decaying schedule as any fix. We never host the hub: a hosted link-in-bio is another product, and the one surface you control should stay yours. - [What we write for you](https://axrush.com/about/optimizations) ## The proof ### Then a real agent tries to use it A brand's errand, run against your hub by an agent with no JavaScript and no privileges, every step recorded. The result is a rate rather than a tick, because something with a temperature was asked to do a job. Without a hub the task reports not applicable, never zero. - Find the business contact, from the served bytes and nothing else. - Confirm which platforms are yours, and that they are the same person. An invented profile is the finding. - Find the media kit: rates, audience, formats, and where it is published. - List what you cover, in your own words rather than a model's. - [How an agent task works](https://axrush.com/about/agent-tasks) ## Your data ### Persons, not companies What three models say about a named person is personal data, and so is what they say about the rivals you track. That changes the rules, and the rules are part of the product. - **Findings persist, platform data does not**: Anything read from a platform expires thirty days after it was read and is deleted by a job. What stays is our finding and its verdict, never the platform's fields. - **Nothing connected**: A channel is read from the platform's public API, as any visitor could read it: no login, no credential, no permission granted. Stop watching whenever you like; deleting the creator deletes what was read. - **Rivals are public identities**: A tracked rival is a public professional identity: a channel, a handle, a hub. Nothing about a rival is read that the rival did not publish. - **No unasked ranking**: Our public index measures websites that published a robots.txt. A person has none, so a creators index lists claimed profiles only. ## Pricing ### The first profile is free. The rest are priced by the profile. A creator is not a site, so the price is not a site's. Declaring profiles is free and unlimited, the first watched profile, on any platform, is free, and each further one is $5.99 a month. A hub is a site, at a site's price. An agency watches a roster the same way: one subscription, one room per creator, one report per client. #### Free: $0 One creator, one watched profile. - One creator, with its fact sheet - Declared profiles, unlimited - 1 watched profile on any platform, re-read every month - Every check the profile's platform runs, and the documents that fix them #### Per profile: $5.99 per watched profile, per month Every further profile watched. The hub is a site, at $12 a month. - Further watched profiles, $5.99 a month each - The hub as a site: $12 a month, with everything a site gets - 3 rivals a creator, counted in the same answers - Alerts: a check that regresses, a mention that drops, a claim you never declared - Share of answer: one free pass at your first paid unit, then $1.99 a pass - [All prices](https://axrush.com/pricing) ## Scan your hub Your own domain, newsletter archive or podcast site.
