Step by Step Beginners Guide¶
This guide shows you how to create your first analysis in nBlick.
An analysis is the foundation of your AI visibility tracking.
It tells nBlick:
- Who you are
- What market you are in
- Who your competitors are
- Which audience you target
Let’s set it up.
Step 1: Create a New Analysis¶
Go to the Analyses section.
Click Create new analysis.
You will see a setup form with several sections.
Each section helps nBlick understand your business.
Step 2: Fill in Analysis Information¶
Analysis Name¶
Choose a clear name.
Example:
Black Friday Performance - NikeQ1 AI Visibility - Brand X
This helps you stay organized if you create multiple analyses.
Step 3: Add Brand Information¶
This tells nBlick who you are.
| Field | What to Enter |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | Your company or brand name |
| Website | Your main domain (example: https://yourbrand.com) |
nBlick uses this to detect when your brand appears in AI answers.
💡 Make sure your website is correct. This is how visibility is measured.
Step 4: Define Your Market¶
This section explains your business environment.
Activity Sector¶
Select your main industry.

These categories are important because:
