What is Presence Engineering?

Presence Engineering is the work of making your brand visible and recommended wherever buyers look: search, social, communities and AI answers. MarketHQ finds where competitors show up and you don't, then turns each gap into a move your team or your agents can finish. Manoj Surya, founder of MarketHQ, coined the term in October 2026.

Manoj Surya

Founder, MarketHQ

Hi, I'm Manoj.

Every team whose buyers do homework before they buy asks the same question: what are people saying about us, and what should we do about it? Answering it took me hours of reading a week, and I still missed things. Now AI assistants have to be checked too.

I wanted that reading to end in a short list of tasks with the evidence attached, one my coding agents could pick up as easily as a teammate. That's MarketHQ.

If something on this page is unclear or wrong, message me on LinkedIn or X.

Manoj, founder

Questions

Presence Engineering, answered

How is MarketHQ different from Brand24?

Brand24 tracks social and web mentions, and sells AI-visibility tracking as an add-on below its Enterprise plan. MarketHQ includes answers from 6 AI assistants on every paid plan, compares you with your competitors in each channel, and turns gaps into tasks. MarketHQ doesn't track Instagram, TikTok or review sites yet.

How is it different from Peec or Profound?

They track AI answers. On paid plans, MarketHQ tracks AI answers plus the news, blogs, Reddit and social posts those answers draw on, against the same competitors, in one place.

What is Presence Engineering?

Search used to be the whole job. Now buyers also ask AI assistants, read Reddit and watch YouTube before they shortlist anyone. Presence Engineering covers all of it: see where you appear, find where competitors appear and you don't, and close each gap with a reply, a page or a pitch your team or your agent can finish.

Why weekly AI checks, not daily?

AI answers to the same question rarely change day to day. Checking 6 assistants weekly, on paid plans, catches real shifts without the noise of asking too often.

Can an agency track several clients?

Yes. Each client gets its own workspace and action plan, with the same evidence underneath.

Can you filter X, Hacker News or Reddit by country?

No. Those three show as Global, not split by country.
