Ahrefs Brand Radar measures AI visibility at search scale. Beseam shows what to change when your product is missed.
Ahrefs Brand Radar extends competitive search intelligence into AI visibility, including AI share of voice, mentions, citations, and platform-level comparisons informed by Ahrefs' search-demand data. Beseam also watches AI discovery, then follows a missed shopping question into the product or page you can change. It prepares the change and asks the same question again afterward.

Beseam or Ahrefs Brand Radar?
Choose Ahrefs Brand Radar when
Choose Ahrefs Brand Radar when AI visibility belongs inside a broader Ahrefs competitive-search process and search-volume-weighted share of voice is useful to the team.
Choose Beseam when
Choose Beseam when you need more than a visibility score: see which shopping question you missed, what you can change on the store, make the change with approval, and ask again.
Use both when
Keep Ahrefs Brand Radar for specialist AI-visibility monitoring. Use Beseam when a missed shopping question needs to become a store change and then be checked again.
What Beseam does not replace
Beseam is not a one-for-one replacement for Ahrefs Brand Radar's dedicated AI-visibility reporting, competitor benchmarking, or the specialist monitoring process teams already use there.
Choose the tool that fits the job.
Choose Ahrefs Brand Radar when
- Your SEO team already works in Ahrefs and wants AI visibility beside broader search and competitor intelligence.
- Search-volume-weighted AI share of voice is a useful way to prioritize the tracked market.
- Mentions and citations across multiple AI platforms need to be explored as competitive data rather than an action queue.
Choose Beseam when
- A missing recommendation or citation needs to be tied to the right product, page, source, or catalog fact before anyone changes content.
- The team wants to see who was recommended and what product, store, shopper, or purchase data may help explain why.
- The original shopping question, proposed change, approval, application, and check afterward need to stay together.

Before you change the stack.
Does Beseam replace Ahrefs Brand Radar?
Not necessarily. Ahrefs Brand Radar is a specialist AI-visibility platform. Beseam also watches AI discovery, then connects a useful miss with the product, store, shopper, and outcome evidence needed to decide what to do next.
Can Ahrefs Brand Radar and Beseam be used together?
Yes. Ahrefs Brand Radar can remain a specialist monitoring source while Beseam connects the finding to the affected product or journey, the approved work, and the relevant result afterward. Exact integration availability depends on the setup.
When should I choose Ahrefs Brand Radar instead of Beseam?
Choose Ahrefs Brand Radar when AI visibility belongs inside a broader Ahrefs competitive-search process and search-volume-weighted share of voice is useful to the team. Choose Beseam when the bigger problem is carrying discovery evidence into product, store, shopper, and business decisions rather than stopping at the monitoring layer.
