Meet Scrunch

We’re the leading AI search optimization team building software that helps companies monitor, analyze, and optimize how they appear in AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Meta AI.

Our mission

AI platforms are changing how people discover, evaluate, and buy. Over 3 billion people have already begun using AI for day-to-day questions and tasks because it’s easier and more effective than traditional search and browsing. Your brand is no longer defined only by what you say—it’s defined by what AI says about you. That’s where we come in.

What we do

Scrunch gives marketing and growth teams an end-to-end platform to understand and improve AI visibility—across models, prompts, and personas.

Core products

How it works under the hood: Scrunch collects actual responses from major AI platforms and detects explicit brand mentions using continuously updated response datasets. That means you see what AI is really telling your customers—and what to do about it.
