# Peak Answer

> Peak Answer tracks whether AI search recommends your brand, finds the exact questions where competitors win, and closes those gaps for you.

Peak Answer tracks whether AI search engines, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Bing, recommend a brand, finds the specific questions where competitors get named instead, and then closes those gaps: writing and publishing content, drafting the directory listings and the outreach to send, and writing the exact site fixes to paste in.

The category it competes in is measurement-only. Peak Answer is the one that also does the work.
