About Lantern

Lantern tracks where B2B SaaS brands appear in AI search responses across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Grok. It captures every citation, matches it to the original buyer prompt, and flags gaps where competitors are cited but the brand is not. The tool provides sentiment analysis, competitor gap identification, and prioritized action items to improve AI search visibility. Lantern generates a monthly pipeline ROI report that links AI citations to closed-won deals in Salesforce, enabling transparent attribution for marketing spend. Teams can collaborate in a shared workspace, comment on findings, and assign fixes directly within the platform. The system also monitors competitor ad campaigns and landing-page changes alongside AI-search topics to contextualize market shifts. Lantern is designed for marketing teams, RevOps, and agencies managing account-based or demand-gen programs in the AI era.
