Which engines, exactly?
Daydream names ChatGPT and AI Overviews plus "other AI surfaces," [3] no full list. We publish the exact engine set and what each check covers.
A methodology page, not a growth lead's word
A Growth Lead on the account team is Daydream's model for staying close to the work. [1] Our methodology page states runs per prompt per engine per day and the confidence interval behind every score.
Off domain execution, out of the gate
Daydream's public pages describe agents and a Growth Lead, not off domain scope. [1] We ship citation PR, community threads, new pages for the buyer questions you lose, and schema as standard implementation.
