Stay mentioned.
Then get mentioned in more places.
The models change their answers constantly, so each month you re-run your Mirror Test to check you're still being mentioned and catch new gaps before competitors do. When you're ready to grow, widen the question pool into new niches, regional markets and new customers, and start showing up where you didn't before. Maintain holds your ground, then grows it.
across your question set
Why a one-off check isn't enough
The models retrain. The answers move. A question that named you in March can name a competitor by June, and nothing on your site changed to cause it. That's the nature of answer engines: the ground shifts under you whether you're watching or not.
So a single audit tells you where you stood on one day. Useful, but it ages fast. The real signal is the direction of travel over months, and that's what Maintain is built to show.
What Maintain does
Monthly testing
Your Mirror Test re-runs every month against the same buyer questions. Same questions, fresh models, so the comparison is honest. You see real citation growth over time instead of hoping the work is paying off.
Visibility tracking
The trend line, not the noise. Maintain tracks how often you're mentioned across the whole question set so you can see it climb, flatten or dip, and act on the shape of the curve rather than one twitchy query.
Competitive monitoring
See who else is being named in your category. When a competitor starts showing up in answers you should own, you spot it early, while the gap is still cheap to close.
Expand your business
When you're ready to expand, widen the question pool: new niches, regional markets, or new types of customer you want to win. Add them to your questions and start showing up in their answers too.
How it works
Re-run the test
Each month you fire the same buyer questions at the four AI models. No setup, no re-entering anything.
The trend builds
Every run adds a point to your visibility over time. New gaps surface as they appear, ranked the same way Recover ranked the first set.
New gaps feed Build
A fresh gap becomes a fresh brief. New content gets published, then you test it next month. The cycle compounds.
An honest word on what monthly tracking can and can't do
Worth being straight here. Maintain is strongest as a trend instrument: how often you're mentioned across your whole question set, watched over months, with new gaps surfacing as they open. That's the signal worth acting on.
What it deliberately doesn't do is fire an alarm every time a single query stops naming you. Individual answers are too nuanced and move too fast for that to mean much; you'd chase noise. The aggregate direction is the honest measure, so that's what Maintain puts in front of you.
