Blog · from real answers and our own logs
Short pieces from building Oftheard: what AI answer engines actually tell Indian buyers, why the numbers move the way they do, and what changes them. Every figure comes from a stored run of real answers or from our own server log, and the instrument that produced it is named. Oftheard is SEO and AI visibility software for businesses and agencies in India and worldwide.
Two runs, the same nine prompts, the same three models, six hours apart. Not one answer came back with the same list of names. That is not a bug in the engines. It is the reason a single answer is not a measurement.
A dozen free tools will generate the file for you, and three independent studies found it changes nothing. Our own server log agrees: of 584 AI crawler requests in thirty days, three asked for it, and Perplexity never did.
The engines fetched the brand’s own site in two of nine answers. In the one where OpenAI read it, it recommended the brand. That pair of answers splits every prompt into two very different problems, and only one of them is about your copy.
Free tier, mentorship, verified profiles, India pricing. Across six hundred answers those four attributes decided most recommendations. They are not a ranking factor. They are a page brief, and they name the page that is usually missing.
Blog posts reflect the runs they were drawn from, as of the date each was published. Product references updated 22 October 2026.
