What Brand Echo is and how to get your first read.
What is Brand Echo?
Your message goes out into the world. Something comes back. Brand Echo measures what came back, through four lenses, with every score cited.
Run your first scan
What to enter, what happens during the minute or two the scan runs, and what you get back.
How to read your Echo dashboard
The quadrant, the bands, the dimension bars, the leak, and your next move, plus what "directional" means when you see it.
The framework
The four lenses, the bands, and the leak, explained one by one.
Fidelity: does your message come back true?
The first lens reads your own pages and scores whether they tell one story or five. Here's every dimension and what moves the score.
Content Quality: is it worth echoing?
The second lens asks whether your content deserves to travel, judged against proven content principles, not a formula.
Reach: how far does your message travel?
The third lens leaves your website and reads the open web. Visibility, share of voice, and whether other people describe you the way you would.
Return: does your message pay back?
The fourth lens measures payback, demand, and loyalty. Free scans read public signals. Connect your analytics and it scores your real numbers.
The bands and the leak
Silent, Faint, Resonant, Amplified, and the one finding on every dashboard that matters more than any number.
Peer benchmarking: you vs your category
Save your competitors and see where you rank against them on all four lenses, from the same honest scan.
The method
Why Brand Echo exists, and why it's not another grader.
Why Brand Echo is different from SEO and AEO graders
Graders score whether machines can find you. Brand Echo scores whether the message that comes back is true, good, far-traveling, and paying back.
Human Powered, AI Assisted: the method
The loop behind the scores, the rules the whole system runs on, and why we will never auto-publish a word for you.
Honest measurement: why we never invent a number
Directional vs verdict, the needs-human-review flag, cited sources, and the difference between proxy and connected data.
Draft your fix and verify it moved
Turn a leak into on-brand copy you own, save it, put it live, then re-scan to prove your Echo moved.
Your account
Plans, the brand profile, and what unlocks what.
Free vs Pro vs Scale
Free is the snapshot, Pro is the system, Scale reads your whole site. Here's what each seat gets, in plain language.
Build your brand identity
Your identity is your message, voice, audience, and vocabulary. Build it from your latest scan in one click.
Your brand profile: why it grounds everything
Five minutes of input that decides whether the AI sounds like you or like the average of the internet. What each field feeds.
The Pulse: track brands and get alerted
Put a brand on a schedule, and we re-scan it and email you when its Echo moves. Track up to five.
The Full-Site scan
Scale's deep scan reads far more of your site in one pass, not just the top pages. Here's when to use it.
Connect your data
Wire in Google Analytics, Search Console, and HubSpot for a Return score on your real numbers.
Connect your analytics: how it works and why it's safe
One viewer invite, no OAuth, no passwords. What we read, what we never touch, and how connected data makes Return real.
Connect Google Analytics 4
Add our reader as a Viewer, paste your Property ID, done. Plus the Property-ID-vs-Account-ID trap that catches almost everyone.
Connect Google Search Console
Add our reader as a user, paste your property, done. Plus the Domain-vs-URL-prefix property trap.
Connect HubSpot
Create a private app with three read-only scopes, paste the token once. What Return reads from your CRM and how the token is stored.
Reading is good. Measuring is better.
