Introducing QueryScope!
​Readers of EdTech PR Tips are getting early prelaunch look at QueryScope, Pando Public Relations' new service for analyzing brand performance in AI search.

I built QueryScope because no commercially available GEO or AEO tool gave me the full picture I needed. I wanted a better way to understand how brands actually appear when an LLM is prompted by a prospective buyer. The commercial tools produced just thin veneers without any context — and that context is of significant value.

QueryScope is an intelligence service, combining proprietary software with human-led analysis to help brands strategically improve performance across AI search tools. We use dozens of prompts to query and categorize AI-generated answers, identify gaps in brand presence, map the sources shaping those results, and uncover opportunities to strengthen visibility.

The formal launch occurs at the end of the month, but if you'd like to learn more now, visit my QueryScope page https://pandopublicrelations.com/queryscope/ or schedule time on my calendar. You do not need to be an established Pando client. We are offering QueryScope audits as a standalone service as well as part of broader public relations and visibility engagements.

I’m the founder and CEO of Pando Public Relations, recently named the Best EdTech PR Firm by EdTech Digest. If you liked this issue of PR Tips, subscribe here. New issues publish on Thursdays alternating between articles with insights and advice on the PR profession and PR in EdTech Tips.
