What are annotations in LLM Pulse?

Annotations are markers you place on your AI visibility timeline to record events—content changes, algorithm updates, campaign launches, or any event that might affect your metrics. They help you correlate what happened with how your visibility changed.

Can I organize annotations into categories?

Yes. You can create custom annotation categories with names and colors. Common categories include Content Updates, Technical Changes, Algorithm Updates, and Campaigns. Categories help you filter and organize annotations across your timeline.

Who can see my annotations?

Annotations have three visibility levels: Personal (only you see them), Project (all project members see them), and System-wide (visible across all projects). You control visibility when creating each annotation.

Do GEO tests create annotations automatically?

Yes. When you create a GEO test, a red annotation is automatically placed on your timeline at the test start date. This makes it easy to see exactly when a test began and how it affected visibility metrics.

Which plans include annotations?

Annotations are available on Growth plans and above. Starter plan users can upgrade to access annotations and other advanced features.
