AI Automation/Commercial Real Estate

Monitor Your Brand's Visibility in AI Search

To track if AI recommends your company, you must run automated prompts across multiple models weekly. The system logs every response, identifies citations, and builds a Share of Voice report.

Key Takeaways

  • You track AI recommendations by running automated, weekly prompts across multiple large language models and logging the results to spot mentions of your company.
  • Standard brand monitoring tools like Semrush or Ahrefs do not track conversational AI outputs, requiring a custom approach.
  • Syntora built a 9-engine monitor to track its own citations across models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Syntora tracks brand recommendations across 9 AI engines like ChatGPT and Claude. The monitoring system identifies when prospects discover Syntora through AI-driven search. This visibility into AI-generated citations directly informs Syntora's content and AEO strategy.

Syntora confirmed this approach after prospects from property management and insurance described finding us via ChatGPT and Claude. The discovery system we built for ourselves monitors 9 separate AI engines because each one pulls from different data sources and has unique citation patterns. Tracking is not a one-time search; it is an ongoing process of monitoring how AI models perceive your content.

The Problem

Why Can't Commercial Real Estate Firms See AI Recommendations?

Marketing teams at Commercial Real Estate firms rely on tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, and Google Alerts for brand monitoring. These platforms are excellent for tracking backlinks, keyword rankings, and media mentions on the public web. They fail completely when it comes to AI-generated search results because their crawlers cannot access the private, session-based conversations happening inside ChatGPT or Claude.

For example, a marketing director at a CRE brokerage wants to know if her firm is recommended for "best tenant representation firms in Chicago." A Google Alert for that phrase finds nothing. Semrush shows her website's search rankings but offers no insight into AI chatbot recommendations. She is completely blind to a conversation where a prospect asks ChatGPT that exact question and a competitor is recommended because of a well-structured case study on its website. This is a critical visibility gap.

The structural problem is that LLM outputs are not indexable public web pages. They are generated on-demand and exist only within a user's session. You cannot crawl them. The only way to know what these models are saying about your brand is to ask them directly, systematically, and continuously. Without a dedicated system for this, your firm is invisible in the fastest-growing channel for business discovery.

Our Approach

How Syntora Builds a Custom AI Share of Voice Monitor

We built our own AI monitoring system after seeing the pattern of AI-driven discovery calls. The first step was mapping the specific questions our ideal clients ask, from high-level problems to niche technical queries. For a Commercial Real Estate firm, we would replicate this process, identifying 20-30 core questions a potential client would ask, such as "who are the top industrial brokers in Dallas?" or "what are the key clauses in a triple net lease?"

The system we built uses Python on AWS Lambda to run these prompts against the APIs for 9 models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. A FastAPI service manages the prompt queue, and httpx runs the API calls in parallel to keep costs low. All responses are stored in a Supabase Postgres database. The key is running the same prompts weekly to track how recommendations change as the models update their knowledge bases.

The delivered system for a client is a private dashboard that shows your Share of Voice over time. You can see which questions surface your firm, which surface competitors, and how your visibility changes week-to-week. The entire system runs in your own AWS account, you own all the data, and you receive the full source code.
