Use the recorded shopping answers and buyer research to review that product and draft content for it.

Before you choose

Four questions about the fit.

Check the scope before you start.

Can I use both?

Yes. Use one report for your brand work and a DecodeIQ check for a specific product URL.

Does DecodeIQ monitor my brand?

No. DecodeIQ checks a product URL; a brand mention is a separate field in that product check.

Does DecodeIQ run on a schedule?

No. You start every check and re-check.

Does content change my visibility?

A re-check shows what changed in the recorded answers, but does not show that your content caused the change. Read the methodology.
