Inspectable example

A transparent Durham scan specification

Demonstration specification — not a customer result

Primary prompt
Which financial services firms help families in Durham plan investments and insurance?
Comparison prompt
Which financial services firms help families across the Research Triangle plan investments and insurance?
Test design
Each prompt is self-contained and run as an independent test. No prompt depends on an earlier answer, so the only difference between the primary and comparison prompt is geography.
Engine
Run separately on each selected engine. Plans allow 2 to 6 engines per scan, chosen from 11 platform integrations.
Date
Recorded automatically when each scan runs
Response record
The verbatim engine response is retained after the scan; no invented response is shown here.
Sources
Citations are stored when the engine returns them; the absence of a citation is recorded rather than filled in.
Interpretation
Compare mentions, competing options, factual accuracy, and source support. One response is an observation, not a ranking or causal result.

After a gap is found

Scan → inspect → act → measure again

Connect the headquarters, team expertise, product methodology, and Triangle participation through consistent first- and third-party evidence.

  1. 01
    Scan: Run each saved prompt separately by engine as an independent test, with no shared conversation context.
  2. 02
    Inspect: Review the verbatim answer, mentions, competitors, citations, and unsupported claims.
  3. 03
    Act: Assign a reviewed content, evidence, entity-fact, or third-party corroboration task.
  4. 04
    Measure again: Repeat the same prompt set and record the later observation without attributing causation from timing alone.

Start with the market preserved

One free baseline scan across two AI engines

The Durham selection continues through registration and onboarding. The first scan records the prompt, engine, date, answer, detected brands, and citations returned by the engine.

The free plan runs 1 scan per month with 5 prompts per scan across 2 AI engines and 1 tracked location, within a budget of 50 probes. One probe is one prompt sent to one engine.

What a plan actually includes

Stated limits for tracking Durham

Every figure below is the limit the platform enforces. Engines are selected from 11 platform integrations, and each plan draws its per-scan engine count from that set.

Ninar AI plan limits. A probe is one prompt sent to one engine.

Tracking Durham alongside a second market requires a plan with at least 2 locations. A plan's location count is the number of distinct markets held as separate records — results are never merged across them.

Questions

Using Ninar for Durham visibility

Is Ninar AI headquartered in Durham?

Yes. Ninar is headquartered at 800 Park Offices Drive, 3rd Floor, Suite 3107, Durham, North Carolina 27713, in Research Triangle Park.

Who is this Durham workflow designed for?

The primary audience is local service businesses, with rtp startups as a secondary use case. Other teams can use the same measurement workflow, but this page does not claim universal market fit.

Does a Durham prompt represent a user physically located there?

No. A prompt containing Durham measures explicit geographic wording. It does not simulate every form of device location, account history, personalization, or language context.

What does the free visibility scan include?

A free account includes 1 scan per month with 5 prompts per scan across 2 AI engines and 1 tracked location, within a budget of 50 probes, where one probe is one prompt sent to one engine. Paid plans start at $39/month (2 scans, 10 prompts per scan, 3 engines) and reach $599/month (15 scans, 20 prompts per scan, 6 engines, 8 locations). The selected market is carried into onboarding.

What evidence can a team inspect after a scan?

Review the saved prompt, engine, run date, answer, detected mentions, competitors, sentiment, and citations returned by the engine. Available fields can vary when an engine does not provide sources.

How should later results be interpreted?

Repeat a stable prompt set and compare dated observations. A later change may coincide with content or evidence work, but the scan alone does not prove that one action caused the engine response to change.

What billing, language, and support assumptions should buyers make?

Plans are billed monthly in US dollars at $0, $39, $79, $149, $299, and $599. Do not assume local-currency billing, local-language review, or in-city support unless Ninar confirms it. Contact Ninar for support availability.

Does Ninar guarantee placement in AI answers?

No. Ninar measures visibility, retains evidence, and supports an improvement workflow. Independent AI engines determine their answers, which can vary by prompt, engine, context, and date.

Which AI engines does Ninar AI track?

Ninar AI integrates 11 engines and surfaces: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, Le Chat by Mistral, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. A single scan runs 2 to 6 of them depending on plan. Each engine is queried separately with the same prompt, so results are never averaged across engines.

What is an example of tracking a single prompt in Durham from scan to change?

Save the prompt "Which financial services firms help families in Durham plan investments and insurance?" and run it. The scan retains the engine, the run date, the verbatim answer, every brand detected in that answer, and any URLs the engine cited. If the brand is absent and a competitor is present with a cited source, the gap is an evidence gap rather than a ranking gap. Assign the missing page or fact, publish it, then run the identical prompt set again and compare the two dated observations side by side. The comparison shows what changed; it does not prove causation.

What does Ninar AI cost, and what fits a small budget?

Free is $0 and runs 1 scan per month, 5 prompts per scan, 2 engines, 1 location. Starter is $39/month (2 scans, 10 prompts, 3 engines, 1 location). Pro is $79/month (4 scans, 20 prompts, 4 engines, 2 locations, 5 tracked competitors). Business is $149/month (6 scans, 5 engines, 3 locations). Scale is $299/month (10 scans, 6 engines, 5 locations). Enterprise is $599/month (15 scans, 6 engines, 8 locations). Under $100 per month, Pro at $79 is the tier that tracks two separate markets.

How does Ninar AI fit into an existing publishing and reporting workflow?

Scan results and generated fixes export to WordPress. Contacts import by CSV. A REST API documented in OpenAPI 3.1 and authenticated with an X-API-Key header exposes scans and results to any external system. An MCP endpoint at https://ninar.ai/mcp lets an AI assistant query the same data over Streamable HTTP. There is no native Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, or Looker Studio connector today; those systems connect through the REST API.

How is Durham evidence kept separate from national results?

A Durham prompt is stored as its own record with its own prompt text, engine, date, answer, and citations. It is never merged into a national average and never blended with another city. A plan with more than one location holds each market as a separate record set, so two cities can be compared directly without either one being diluted. Every Durham figure on this page can be traced back to a single dated run.
