The measurement instrument behind a Hiveminds engagement

Measure whether AI answers mention you.
Fix what blocks it.
Measure again and see the difference.

Lens measures how ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity answer about your business, keeps the sources behind those answers, and records what holds your visibility back. You fix it, we measure again on the same questions, and the dashboard shows the difference in mentions and crawls.

The dashboard is available to Hiveminds clients.

Measure

Where you stand in the answers

Lens runs a pinned set of questions across ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity and records per question whether you are mentioned. That produces a score from 0 to 100 with a score category (very low, low, average or strong), plus the number of mentions per platform. The sources the models cite are kept with every measurement, so you can later re-measure the same questions.

Explain

Why the answer is the way it is

Alongside the score sits the why: the technicals with an explanation per check, an access check that shows whether AI crawlers may read your content, the sources behind the answers, and the crawl data of the AI bots that visit your site. So you see not only that you are missing, but what holds it back.

Prove

What changes after an intervention

The Fix loop records every intervention, re-measures afterwards on exactly the same questions, and sets the difference on a timeline: the delta in mentions per platform and in the crawls of the AI bots. We record what changed after the intervention and how stable that stays; the delta stands in black and white, measured on the same pinned questions.

The dashboard in brief

This is what a measurement looks like. It is our own snapshot of hiveminds.nl: where we stand, what holds it back, and what the first intervention on the crawl side already did.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lens?

Lens is the measurement instrument behind a Hiveminds engagement. It measures whether AI answers mention you, explains what holds your visibility back, and records with a re-measurement on the same questions what changed after an intervention. Retainer clients use the dashboard, the free snapshot is the open entry point.

Which platforms does Lens measure?

ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. Lens puts a pinned set of questions to those four and records per question whether you are mentioned.

What is the score?

The score sums up how you perform on the pinned question set, on a scale from 0 to 100. Every score falls into a score category with a fixed band in points: very low (below 25), low (25-49), average (50-74) and strong (75 and higher). It is built from, among other things, your mentions in the answers and the technical foundation of your site. The sources behind the answers are kept per measurement, so a re-measurement on exactly the same questions is comparable.

What is the Fix loop?

The Fix loop records an intervention, re-measures afterwards on the same questions, and shows the difference on a timeline: the delta in mentions per platform and in the crawls of the AI bots. So you see in black and white what changed after the intervention and how stable that stays.

Can I test my own questions?

Yes, in the Lab you test your own questions on your own domain across the same four platforms. Every account has a monthly quota of fresh measurements for this.

How do I get access?

The dashboard is available to Hiveminds clients; access is by invitation. If you first want to see where you stand, request the free snapshot. If you want to measure and fix with us, request a call.
