## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* A Siftly account ([sign up free](https://app.siftly.ai/sign-up))
* Your brand's website URL
* A list of 3–5 topics or categories your brand competes in

***

## Step 1: Create your organization

When you first log in, Siftly will walk you through creating an **organization**. An organization is your workspace — it holds your brands, team members, and subscription.

Enter your organization name and click **Continue**.

<Tip>
  If you're an agency managing multiple clients, create one organization per client. Each organization has its own isolated brand data, users, and billing.
</Tip>

***

## Step 2: Add your brand

Inside your organization, click **Add Brand** and fill in the details:

| Field             | Description                                                  |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Brand name**    | The name as it appears in the market (e.g., "Acme Corp")     |
| **Website URL**   | Your brand's primary domain                                  |
| **Industry**      | The market category Siftly uses to find relevant prompts     |
| **Brand aliases** | Alternate names, abbreviations, or former names AI might use |

<Warning>
  Brand aliases are important. If your brand is commonly abbreviated or has a parent/sub-brand relationship, add those here — otherwise citations using alternate names won't be counted.
</Warning>

Click **Save Brand** when done.

***

## Step 3: Select your topics

Topics are the subject areas Siftly analyzes for your brand. They map to the kinds of questions AI users ask in your market.

1. From your brand page, click **Manage Topics**
2. Siftly will suggest topics based on your industry — select the ones relevant to you
3. Add custom topics using natural language (e.g., "best project management tools for remote teams")
4. Click **Save Topics**

<Note>
  You can add or remove topics at any time. Changes take effect on the next analysis run.
</Note>

***

## Step 4: Run your first analysis

With your brand and topics configured, kick off an analysis:

1. Navigate to your brand's **Overview** page
2. Click **Run Analysis**
3. Siftly will query AI models with hundreds of prompts across your selected topics

Analysis typically completes in **5–15 minutes** depending on the number of topics. You'll receive a notification when it's done.

***

## Step 5: Review your results

Once the analysis completes, explore your dashboard:

</CardGroup>

***

## Step 6: Schedule recurring analysis

To track trends over time, set up a recurring analysis schedule:

1. Go to **Settings → Scheduled Analysis**
2. Choose a frequency: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
3. Toggle the schedule on

Siftly will automatically run analysis on your chosen schedule and email you a summary when results are ready.
