See what changed in your AI answers
Signals in the Action Center list each meaningful change, such as dropping out of answers or a competitor passing you, the morning after the nightly check.
What a signal is
A signal is one meaningful change for your business, written as one row: you dropped out of the answers to a question, a competitor passed you, or a page scores low on AI readiness. For a business whose phone number LegitGeo knows, a signal also says when an assistant gives out a different number. Today LegitGeo knows the number only for companies added through a partner platform that sends it: a Google listing added on Local Rankings by pasting a Maps link is saved without one. Signals also feed the Actions tab, which turns them into things to do.
On screen, LegitGeo calls your questions prompts, so a signal may read “Lost presence on 1 prompt with demand”.
Signals first appear when your business’s first check finishes, then after each nightly check. The nightly check starts at 02:00 UTC, the evening before in the US, so new signals are waiting when you sign in the next morning. They are on every plan.
Open your signals
In the sidebar, select Action Center. It opens on the KPIs tab.
Select the Signals tab. The small number next to it counts signals that are still New.
Action Center (1) and the Signals tab (2). Captured October 23, 2026, from the demo business Harborline Plumbing.
The five cards count Total Signals, Important Signals, New Signals and Resolved Signals, and show the Avg. Signal Impact, each compared with the period before. Below them, the table shows each signal with its type, impact, source, what it affects and when it was detected.
The number on the Signals tab and the New Signals card can differ. The tab counts every signal still marked New, however old. The card counts signals first detected in the time window you chose, whatever their status now.
Narrow the list
Choose a time window above the table: 7d, 30d or 90d. 30d is the default.
Time window (1), categories (2), filters (3) and search (4). Captured October 23, 2026, from the demo business Harborline Plumbing. Select a category: All, Visibility, Citation, Mention, Traffic, Technical or Competitor. Only categories that have signals are shown, each with its count.
Use Impact, Status and Source to narrow further, for example Impact: High for the signals that matter most.
Type in Search signals… to find words in a signal, such as a competitor’s name.
Clear filters resets the category, filters and search; the time window stays as you set it. Filters are kept in the page address, so a refresh or a link you share keeps them.
Read a signal and act on it
Select a row. A panel opens with what happened at the top, then Status, Source, Detected, Last detected, What changed (the numbers before and after, when there are any), Affected and Related KPIs. Some signals have View prompt, which opens that question.
Select Acknowledge to show you have seen it, Mark resolved once you have dealt with it, or Dismiss if it does not matter to you.
The three buttons (2) at the bottom of the panel. Captured October 23, 2026, from the demo business Harborline Plumbing.
You can also use the menu at the end of each row. To bring back a resolved or dismissed signal, open it and select Reopen.
A dismissed signal stays dismissed even if the same thing is detected again. A resolved one that comes back returns as New.
Signals that mean you are dropping out of answers
Visibility dropped sharply (high impact) and Visibility is slipping compare how often you appeared before and now, for example 42% of answers before and 18% now.
Mentions lost on, Lost presence on and Absent from name the questions where assistants stopped naming you. Visibility dropped on and Visibility slipping on name one assistant, such as Gemini. Coverage dropped in names a topic.
A drop is not raised on a night when an assistant had an outage, so a bad night for ChatGPT does not look like a bad night for you.
How signals end
Signals about an ongoing problem, such as a drop, a gap or a wrong phone number, resolve themselves once two nightly checks in a row no longer find it. One-time events, such as First citation for a page or New AI platform appearance, never resolve themselves; they stay until you mark them.
A status of Changed means a newer reading replaced the signal.
Signals say what changed, not whether a fix worked. To find that out, see Find out whether a fix worked.
To keep a list of the signals you see, select Export CSV. See Export your data to a spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I see “No signals yet”?
Signals appear after your business’s first check finishes, then after each nightly check. If the first check has not finished yet, see My results have not appeared yet. After that, an empty list means nothing changed enough to report.
