# Getting Started: Onboarding and Configuring Your Brand

### Why do you need to configure your brand?

As explained in [this](https://docs.writesonic.com/update/docs/why-we-monitor-real-ai-platforms-not-just-apis) section, we aim to simulate how users interact with AI models with respect to your brand. To do this, we need a wide variety of prompts that reflect real user behaviour. We will automatically create a list of suggested prompts on the basis of the topics you are targeting for your brand.

Additionally, since the data collected is based on simulated prompts, it's important to analyze your performance on a relative scale compared to your key competitors. To support this, we will need a list of your primary competitors so we can include them in performance tracking and benchmarking.

### What to Expect During Onboarding

When you first enter the Brand Presence module, an intuitive onboarding flow walks you through configuring your visibility tracking setup. The goal is to:

1. **Select topics** to track where you want visibility
2. **Configure prompts** to simulate user behaviour on different AI models
3. **Specify competitors** to benchmark performance against

This flow is designed to help both beginners and experienced users get started quickly and accurately. Each step includes:

* Inline help descriptions
* Input examples (e.g., brand name, topics)
* Visual indicators of where that input will impact your dashboard

***

## First Steps
