## Get up and running

Follow these steps to set up your PromptAlpha account and start monitoring your brand's AI search visibility.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Sign up at [app.promptalpha.ai](https://app.promptalpha.ai) and verify your email address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete onboarding">
    Enter your company name and website URL. PromptAlpha will automatically:

    * Research your brand across AI search engines
    * Discover your competitors
    * Generate an initial set of prompts to track

    Review the suggested prompts and topics, then confirm to start monitoring.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View your first insights">
    Navigate to the **Answer Engine Insights** dashboard. You'll see:

    * **Visibility Score** — your overall brand visibility across AI engines (0–100)
    * **Platform breakdown** — how you appear on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok
    * **Citation sources** — which of your pages AI engines reference
    * **Competitor comparison** — how you stack up against competitors

    <Tip>Visibility data refreshes daily. Check back in 24 hours for trend data.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the tracking snippet (optional)">
    To track AI crawler behavior and measure traffic from AI engines, add the PromptAlpha tracking snippet to your website:

    ```html theme={null}
    <script defer src="https://app.promptalpha.ai/pa.js" data-key="YOUR_API_KEY"></script>
    ```

    Paste this before the closing `</head>` tag on your site. Find your API key in **Settings > Workspace**.

    See the full [tracking snippet guide](/docs/agent-analytics/tracking-snippet) for detailed installation instructions.
