Limy is designed to help you understand how AI systems perceive your brand, improve your visibility across AI-generated answers, and measure the business impact of that visibility. The first month is about building the right foundation, establishing a baseline, and turning early insights into action. ## Day 1: Set the Foundation ### Goal: Ensure Limy accurately reflects your market and competitive landscape. On your first day, review and validate the core inputs that power all analysis in Limy: * **Topics**: Confirm they accurately represent your product, category, and strategic positioning * **Competitors**: Verify that the competitive set matches who you actually [compete](/intelligence/competitors.md) against. If needed, [add](/settings/adding-competitors.md) or [delete](/settings/deleting-competitors.md) competitors to ensure Limy analyzes the right market landscape. * **Prompts**: Review [generated prompts](/intelligence/how-limy-generates-prompts.md) to ensure they represent realistic AI search behavior in your market #### Then do an initial scan of: * Prompts where your brand appears * Prompts where competitors appear but you do not * Any prompts, topics, or competitors that feel irrelevant or missing {% hint style="info" %} This step ensures Limy is **analyzing the correct AI search landscape** before you move into deeper insights. {% endhint %} #### What “on track” looks like * Topics and prompts clearly reflect your market * Competitors are accurate and relevant * The data looks familiar and actionable *** ## Days 2: Establish Your AI Visibility Baseline ### Goal: Understand how AI systems currently perceive and position your brand. #### Start analyzing Limy’s core insight layers: * **Dashboard**: Review overall brand visibility, market share, and trend direction * **Prompts**: Identify where your brand appears, where it doesn’t, and which prompts matter most * **Competitors**: Understand which brands dominate AI-generated answers in your category * **Sentiment** (initial read): Get an early sense of how AI systems [frame](broken://pages/7TyveK6e8NI26l2zrlWQ) your brand At this stage, focus on understanding the landscape — not executing changes yet. #### What “on track” looks like: * You can clearly describe your current AI visibility baseline * You understand where you are strong and where gaps exist * You have an initial sense of competitive positioning in AI search *** ## Day 3: Define your Brand Kit ### Goal Ensure Limy understands your brand’s voice, positioning, and messaging so insights and recommendations are aligned with your strategy. ### What to do On Day 3, set up your [**Brand Kit**](/settings/brand-kit.md)**.** This provides Limy with essential context about how your brand should be represented. Go to **Settings > Brand Kit** and define: * Your **brand essence** and positioning * Your **tone of voice** (e.g. authoritative, technical, approachable) * Core **messaging pillars** you want AI systems to associate with your brand * **Dos and don’ts**, including terms, claims, or narratives to avoid * Any **custom rules** relevant to compliance or brand guidelines {% hint style="info" %} Ensure Limy understands your brand’s voice, positioning, and messaging so insights and recommendations **align** with your strategy. {% endhint %} #### Why this matters Without a Brand Kit, recommendations may be accurate but generic. With a Brand Kit in place, Limy can prioritize actions that reinforce your intended positioning and avoid suggestions that conflict with your brand strategy. #### What “on track” looks like * Brand Kit fields are completed and reflect your current brand strategy * Recommendations feel relevant and on-brand * Your team trusts Limy’s guidance without needing heavy manual filtering *** ## End of Week 1: Identify Gaps, Sentiment, and Opportunity Areas ### **Goal:** Turn early data into a clear opportunity map. #### By the end of Week 1, you should be able to answer: * Where do we stand versus competitors? * Which topics and prompts are we strong in? * Where are we missing from AI-generated answers? * How do AI systems currently frame our brand? #### Review: * Dashboard for market position and trends * Prompts for coverage gaps * Sentiment to identify positive, neutral, or negative framing * Source Analysis to understand which sources influence AI answers This step is about forming a clear strategic hypothesis — not executing yet. #### What “on track” looks like * You can articulate your AI visibility gaps * You understand which sources and narratives shape AI answers * You have a prioritized list of topics and issues to address *** ## Week 2: Start Implementing Recommendations ### Goal: Move from insight to execution. #### Begin actively working with recommendations: * Review available [recommendations](/dashboard/dashboard-overview/recommendations.md) * Decide which topics and recommendation types to prioritize * Create a focused implementation [plan](/optimization/recommendations/recommendation-plan.md) #### As you implement recommendations: * Update the [status](/optimization/recommendations/recommendation-statuses.md) (Active → In Progress → Done) * Add the live URL when completed to enable tracking This is where Limy shifts from analysis to measurable impact. #### What “on track” looks like * Recommendations are actively being implemented * Statuses are kept up to date * Completed work is being tracked {% hint style="info" %} Before implementing recommendations, make sure your topics, prompts, and competitors **accurately** reflect your market. Clean inputs lead to more relevant insights and actions. {% endhint %} *** ## **Week 2-3: Enable Measurement, Attribution, and Brand Context** ### **Goal:** Activate Limy’s measurement layer and ensure recommendations align with your brand strategy. #### By week 2 or 3, you should complete three critical setups: **1. Install AI Traffic Monitor:** [Install](https://docs.getlimy.ai/limy-pixel/gtm-pixel) the Limy tracking pixel via Google Tag Manager. This allows you to track users arriving on your site from AI-generated answers. AI Traffic Monitor makes AI-driven traffic visible and enables downstream attribution. **2. Set Up Attribution:** Attribution allows you to connect AI-driven leads to conversions and measure ROI. To set up the attribution, please contact us at . **3. Set Up Bot Monitor (CDN Integration):** [Connect your CDN](https://docs.getlimy.ai/limy-pixel/cdn-integration) (Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, etc.). This allows you to see how AI bots crawl and ingest your content Together, AI Traffic Monitor, Attribution, and Bot Monitor give you visibility into both sides of the AI journey: content ingestion and user behavior. ### What “on track” looks like * AI Traffic Monitor is live * Attribution conversions are defined * Bot Monitor integration is in progress or complete The Brand Kit ensures that recommendations and suggested actions align with your brand strategy and positioning. {% hint style="info" %} **Setup tip:** Limy Analytics setup typically requires collaboration with your development or DevOps team to install the tracking pixel and connect the Bot Monitor via your CDN. {% endhint %} ## Weeks 3–4: Measure Lift and Validate Impact ### **Goal: Confirm that your actions are improving AI visibility and performance.** ### Monitor changes across: * **Prompts**: new prompts where your brand appears * **Dashboard**: visibility and sentiment trends * **AI** **Traffic** **Monitor**: AI-driven user engagement * **Attribution**: conversions and value from AI traffic This is where you begin to see whether execution is translating into measurable results. ### What “on track” looks like * Increased visibility for priority topics * Improved positioning or sentiment * Early AI-driven traffic and conversions *** Review the [check-list](/onboarding/onboarding-check-list.md) to make sure you’ve completed all key setup steps. ### FAQs
