Use tool ↗About WhyIQ
WhyIQ sells two related tools under one account. CRO Scanner takes a URL or an uploaded HTML file and runs 50 simulated visitors, calibrated on published visitor-behaviour research, through the page to rank the elements most likely to make people leave without converting, with a 0–100 score. AI Radar is a separate weekly tracker that checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI answers mention or cite a business for a set of buyer questions. Reports arrive by email within minutes, and because the scanner accepts raw HTML it can check a page before it goes live.

Pros & cons of WhyIQ
WhyIQ's CRO Scanner is useful specifically because it works on a page before it has real visitors, simulating archetypes instead of waiting for analytics to accumulate; the AI Radar half is a separate, smaller product bolted on for tracking whether AI answer engines cite a business. Both tools are report generators rather than tools that fix anything themselves, so the findings still need to be implemented by hand.
Pros
- Works on pages that have no live traffic yet, including raw HTML uploads
- Runs 50 simulated visitors per scan instead of one generic score
- Reports are tied to specific page elements rather than vague advice
- AI Radar covers five separate AI answer engines in one tracked report
Cons
- Findings come from simulation, not real user session data
- Single scans now cost $19 each, so iterating on one page adds up quickly below the Agency tier
- Two separate pricing tracks for Scanner and Radar mean the real monthly cost adds up if both are needed
Best for
- Checking a landing page for conversion problems before launch
- Agencies running scans across many client pages
- Tracking whether a brand shows up in AI-generated answers
Not for
- Teams wanting one tool that both diagnoses and edits the page
- Anyone expecting live-traffic A/B test data instead of simulation
Watch out: The CRO findings are model-simulated visitor behavior, not observed analytics from actual traffic — treat it as a pre-launch checklist, not a replacement for real A/B testing.
