How should you interpret results and choose the next action?
AI doesn't only read your own pages — it watches whether others discuss you. A Reddit answer, Medium citation or Zhihu mention is critical validation of your authority. We use Firecrawl to weekly-scan 8 high-authority communities, with exact-name matching and 30-day freshness filtering to cut false positives. Manual press & credentials feed the same weighted trust score. The trust score flows into Authority Radar's Exposure and Verifiability axes, and feeds back into the next Content Moat cycle.
Frequently asked questions
Will scanning get rate-limited by communities?
We use Firecrawl's official API which respects each community's rate limits — no risk control triggered.
What about same-name people?
Multi-layer defense: title/description must contain the name, optional niche keyword filter, manual exclusion.
Can I use it for enterprise PR reports?
Yes — the exported PDF trust dossier works as a PR report attachment.
