How do I run my first GeoSnake scan?

Summary

What your team should look for when the first results come in.

What this is and why it matters

A first scan is most useful when the team treats it as a baseline exercise rather than a final verdict on brand visibility.

Keep the first setup narrow. GeoSnake becomes useful when one organization, one clear prompt set, and one repeatable review habit are in place before you expand coverage.

Recommended setup steps

• Check whether your brand appears in the prompts you chose.
• Note where competitors are being surfaced more clearly.
• Capture any obvious narrative inaccuracies right away.
• Document a few early actions instead of trying to solve everything at once.

Helpful tips

• The first scan is about orientation, not perfection.
• Look for patterns more than single surprises.
• Write down questions so the second review is even better.

Possible issues and troubleshooting

• If the first setup feels noisy, reduce the scope instead of adding more prompts, markets, or competitors.
• If the dashboard looks empty, confirm that the first scan has finished and that the setup data was saved in the right organization.
• If adoption is weak, the problem is usually ownership or review cadence, not the fact that one more screen is missing.

What to do next

Once this step is stable, move straight to the next highest-value setup action. Momentum matters more than overbuilding the first pass.
