Getting Started with ReachSurge

Welcome to ReachSurge

ReachSurge is an AI-powered traffic platform that helps your website get discovered by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google Gemini, and Grok.

Step 1: Add Your Website

1. Click Get Started on the dashboard or go to the Onboarding wizard
2. Enter your website URL
3. ReachSurge will automatically crawl your site and analyze it for AI readiness

Step 2: Automatic AI Audit

After adding your website, ReachSurge automatically:

• Crawls your pages to understand your content
• Checks your robots.txt for AI crawler access across every agent we track, flagging the ones that decide citation
• Generates a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) score (0-10)
• Calculates your Entity Authority Score (0-100)
• Identifies opportunities for AI citations

Step 3: Generate Your Strategy

Based on the audit, ReachSurge creates a personalized traffic strategy including:

• Content optimization suggestions for AI citation readiness
• Keyword targets where you can appear in AI answers
• Competitor analysis showing your share of voice vs competitors

Step 4: Start Tracking

Once set up, ReachSurge continuously monitors:

• AI citation appearances across 5 engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google Gemini, Grok)
• Traffic from AI-referred visitors with sparkline trends
• Entity Authority Score (0-100) with trend indicators
• Competitor share of voice
• Anomaly detection (traffic drops, citation losses)

Step 5: Install the Tracker

Add our lightweight tracking script to your website. It's under 2KB, doesn't affect page speed, and enables:

• Live event stream (your first pageview shows up within seconds)
• AI traffic source detection
• Visitor behavior tracking

After pasting the snippet, open /analytics in the dashboard. You'll see a "Waiting for your first event…" indicator. Load any page on your site and it flips to "Tracker connected" the moment the first event arrives. Aggregate stats (totals, sparklines, source breakdowns) update hourly.
