Altovista is an enterprise generative search intelligence and optimization platform delivered as a white-glove managed service. We help global brands and forward-thinking digital agencies measure, protect, and scale their conversational market share across the world's leading answer engines.
We are a fully white-glove managed service. Software your team doesn't have time to use is a sunk cost. We eliminate the learning curve by handling the complex prompt engineering, API integrations, and database extraction behind the scenes, delivering boardroom-ready scorecards and clear action items.
Our platform is engineered for enterprise CMOs, Brand Directors, and PR leads who need to protect corporate reputation from AI anomalies. It is equally built for performance SEO and content marketing agencies looking to equip their fulfillment teams with precise execution blueprints to secure client citations.
No. By default, our cloud infrastructure works entirely from the outside in, safely simulating real-world user queries with zero software integrations or security clearances required. However, for enterprise teams requiring deep SEO cross-correlation, we offer a specialized add-on to securely connect your Google Analytics (GA) and Google Search Console (GSC) data.
Altovista tracks visibility by intercepting raw, unedited recommendations directly from the world's top generative models. We use a proprietary Prompt Matrix mapped to your actual buyer journey to simulate organic user queries and capture exactly how your brand is positioned.
We continuously track conversational visibility across all dominant answer engines, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity AI, and Google’s Generative AI Overviews (AIO).
The Search Visibility Optimization (SVO) score is our proprietary metric that calculates your total AI market share. It aggregates your citation density, recommendation frequency, and sentiment across models to give your leadership team a single performance benchmark.
Paid dashboards are updated on a strict monthly schedule. Because AI algorithms are highly dynamic, this monthly cohort filters out short-term algorithmic volatility, providing your executive team with a reliable, standardized baseline.
During our monthly audit, immediately after the Judge Engine evaluates your Share of Voice, the Monitor Engine scans the dataset for anomalies. If it detects a negative sentiment shift or a factual hallucination, it triggers an isolated Brand Drift Alert so your team can pinpoint urgent PR risks.
Yes. Our engine is capable of tracking almost any country, market, and language pre-defined by your team. Instead of direct translations, we deploy natively localized Seed Prompts tailored to the specific target market and ask behaviors you choose to monitor.
