About
Search moved into the answer. We're building what measures it.
Sonarvue is a solo-founder, beta-stage company. No big team, no customer logos to show off yet - a product, a trial scan, and a point of view. Here's the honest version of why it exists.
The thing that didn't add up
A few years ago, the way people found software changed under everyone's feet. Instead of opening ten tabs, a buyer asks an AI - ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity - and gets one confident paragraph that names two or three tools. The shortlist is formed before they ever reach a website.
What didn't add up was that nobody could see it. SEO tools tell you where your pages rank. Your analytics start at the click. But the moment an answer engine recommended a competitor for the exact question you thought you owned - the moment that actually decided the deal - showed up in no dashboard anywhere. A whole channel had become primary while staying completely unmeasured.
What we built
Sonarvue reads how the eight default answer engines describe and cite your brand, scores your share of voice against the competitors they name instead, and - the part no other tool in the category ships - pairs it with the conversations driving it on LinkedIn, Reddit, and X. Then it hands you the concrete fix for every gap. No tag, no install; it reads public AI answers and public posts only, and your first read takes minutes.
The product has a point of view baked in: be the answer, not just a link. Rankings still matter, but the decision moved, and the measurement has to move with it.
How we work
Two principles, because they're the whole reputation. Honest over hype. We're pre-launch with no customers, so you won't find invented testimonials, borrowed logos, or made-up metrics here - just product truth and a founder building in the open. And transparent by default: the pricing is published, the trial scope is clear, and the comparisons with other tools name where those tools are the better choice. In a category where most pricing is hidden behind a demo, that's a deliberate stance.
If that resonates, the best way to understand Sonarvue is to use it. Point it at your brand and see what the AI actually says. You'll know on day one whether you're in the answer or your competitor is.
