2. Ahrefs Brand Radar

Ahrefs Brand Radar is a visibility and discovery analytics tool that shows how a brand appears across modern search and content environments, including AI-generated answers, video platforms, and the broader web. The platform aggregates data from several large indexes and millions of prompts, giving marketers a unified view of brand exposure, search demand, and key visibility trends. It highlights when and where a brand is mentioned, how often users search for it, and how its presence compares to competitors over time.

Brand Radar also helps marketers identify emerging topics, spot visibility gaps, and understand how content across YouTube, TikTok, or community discussions contributes to overall brand perception. By clustering queries and uncovering new content opportunities, the tool supports strategic decision-making and helps brands strengthen discoverability where audiences increasingly look for information. This allows marketing teams to refine messaging, prioritize growth areas, and stay competitive as search behavior continues to evolve.
