run_brand_radar_scan
Scans real AI-answer engines and search citations for brand mentions, Share of Voice against named competitors, and cited sources. REQUIRES A PAID PLAN — a free-tier organization gets a plan-locked error, not an empty result — and CONSUMES ONE of the organization's monthly Brand Radar scan allowance PLUS one shared AI-gateway operation, both charged BEFORE the scan runs. The allowance is spent when the scan is ACCEPTED, before any answer exists — every call submits a new scan, so ask before re-running one. The scan runs on a background queue: this tool waits up to ~45 seconds for it and returns the result when it completes; if it is still running it returns the jobId instead — collect the result with get_brand_radar_scan_status (free to poll) rather than calling this tool again, which would spend another scan. Mentions and AI search volumes are nullable: a null is 'not reported by the platform', never 0.
Input Schema

| brand | Yes | Brand, domain, or product name to scan. | |
| projectId | Yes | Required. The MisarSEO project ID to scope this call to. Get one from list_projects. | |
| competitors | No | Up to 5 competitor brands/domains to compare Share of Voice against. | |
| languageCode | No | Language code (e.g. 'en', 'es', 'fr'). Omit it to use the project's default market language, which falls back to 'en'. | |

See dataforseo.com/help-center/locations. Some countries (e.g. Iceland, 2352) are served from Google Ads data: keyword volume/CPC/trends work, but keyword difficulty, search intent, and domain analytics are unavailable. |
