AI visibility scans report back on their own

A visibility scan takes a few minutes, and until now the brand page only found out it had finished when you reloaded it. Often it did not even show the scan had started: the page refreshed a moment too early and looked as if nothing had happened.

The brand page now follows the scan. "Scan now" switches to "Scanning…" straight away, the page says a sweep is in progress, and the report appears by itself when it is ready — you can leave and come back. The brand list does the same: a brand being measured says so instead of quoting its next scheduled refresh, and the list updates when the scan ends.

Two things changed underneath. A brand can only have one scan running at a time, so a second tab or an impatient reload can no longer start — and charge for — a duplicate sweep; if one slips through anyway it is refused and the credit is returned. And a scan that stops responding no longer leaves the button locked until the next day: the page says the last scan did not finish and lets you start a new one.
