Projects

NEW: Ansehn supports Mult-Project Organizations

You can now add multiple projects to your Ansehn organization. Ideal for companies monitoring several domains or agencies managing multiple clients in one place.

A Project in Ansehn represents a single brand, website, or digital property that you want to monitor across AI search platforms. Think of a project as a complete monitoring workspace for one of your brands or business units.

• Main Website Project: Monitor your primary company website (example.com)
• Geographic Projects: Separate projects for different regional websites (example.com site vs. example.de site)
• Client Projects (e.g. for agencies): One project per client you manage

Difference between Projects and Organizations

Understanding the relationship between Projects and Organizations is key. An Organization is created for each user that signs up for Ansehn. A Project is always created within an Organization and owned by it. An Organization can hold 1 to many Projects (based on subscription plan limits).

Organization (Your Company)
├── Users & Teams (with roles and permissions)
├── Subscription & Billing
└── Projects (Multiple brands/properties you monitor)
    ├── Project 1: Main Website
    │   ├── Brand Details
    │   ├── Competitors
    │   ├── Monitors
    │   └── Prompts & Analytics
    ├── Project 2: Mobile App
    └── Project 3: Regional Site

The following table is an overview of the most important differences between Organizations and Projects:

Aspect	Organization	Project
Purpose	Your team/company workspace	A specific brand/website to monitor
Billing	Subscription plan attached here	Limits based on plan (e.g., 1-5 projects)
Team Access	Users belong to organization	Users can have different roles per project
Data	Shared settings, billing	Unique monitoring data, competitors, analytics

Example: A marketing agency might have one Organization called "Agency XYZ" with 10 team members, but manage 15 different Projects (one for each client).

What’s inside a Project

Each Project in Ansehn includes everything you need to monitor and optimize your AI search visibility:

1. Brand Details
   Auto-generated brand profile including company description, target audience, key features, industry, and positioning - created from your website content.

3. Monitors
   Configurable monitoring setups for different goals (e.g. Brand Awareness, Product Features) with custom schedules, competitor assignments, and dedicated analytics.

4. Prompts
   10–500 questions per monitor, executed daily across AI platforms to track how your brand is mentioned over time.

5. Analytics & Insights
   Citation and position tracking, keyword and semantic analysis, plus AI visibility metrics to uncover trends and opportunities.

Creating Projects

Creating a new project in Ansehn is the first step to tracking your brand’s presence across AI search platforms. Projects can be created in just a few steps. All you need is some basic information about your website and goals, and Ansehn will handle the rest.

Before creating a project, have this information ready:

1. Project Name: What you'll call this project (e.g., "Main Website", "Acme Corp")
2. Website URL: The full URL of your website (e.g., https://example.com)
3. Country: Primary market for localization (default: US)
4. Industry (optional): Your business category
5. Business Goals (optional): What you want to achieve through Ansehn

Step-by-step guide for creating new Projects

Step 1: Navigate to Project Creation

From your dashboard:

1. Click the project dropdown in the sidebar
2. Click "Add Project" button

Step 2: Enter Project Details

Project Name: Main Website
Website URL: https://example.com
Country: United States
Industry: Software (SaaS)
Your Role: Marketing Director
Goals: 
  ☑ Increase brand visibility
  ☑ Track competitor mentions
  ☑ Optimize content

Step 3: AI Initialization (First Project Only)

For your first project, Ansehn performs a comprehensive AI setup:

What Happens:

1. Website Analysis (1-2 min): AI scrapes and analyzes your website
2. Brand Profile Generation (30 sec): Creates detailed brand description
3. Competitor Research (1-2 min): Identifies 5-10 relevant competitors
4. Prompt Creation (1 min): Generates initial monitoring prompts
5. First Execution (2-3 min): Runs prompts across AI platforms

Total Time: 5-8 minutes

What You See:

• Real-time progress tracking with status updates
• You can close the modal and check back later
• Email notification when complete
• Immediate access to dashboard (data populates as it completes)

Step 4: Additional Projects

For subsequent projects, the process is much faster since we don't pre-generate the data and enable you to set it up manually instead or use specific AI Assistent to generate the content.

Working with Multiple Projects

Ansehn you can create multiple projects to separate different brands, business units, or markets. For example, an international company might create one project for its global .com domain and additional projects for regional websites (.de or .ca). Agencies can create separate projects for each client, making it easy to manage them all from one account.

Switching between Projects

In the Sidebar:

1. Click the project dropdown at the top of the sidebar
2. Select the project you want to view
3. All pages automatically update to show that project's data

Direct URLs: Every project page has a unique URL you can bookmark:

/dashboard/projects/[projectId]/monitors
/dashboard/projects/[projectId]/competitors
/dashboard/projects/[projectId]/analytics

Sharing Project Links

You can share direct links to specific project pages with team members:

https://app.ansehn.com/dashboard/projects/abc-123/competitors

Team members will see the data if they have permission to access that project.
