# Monitor Overview: Read the Top-Level Prefer Dashboard

> The Prefer Overview dashboard: KPI strip, Visibility Trend, Platform heatmap, Topic Distribution, Sentiment tile, Share of Voice, and Prompt visibility toggle.

The Overview dashboard is the top-level read of your brand's presence across every AI answer engine. It answers "how am I doing right now, and against whom" in a single scroll, and every tile respects the same Filter Bar so you can slice by engine, topic, persona, region, or tag.

## Layout, top to bottom

<Steps>
  <Step title="Filter Bar">
    Sticky at the top: date range, engines, topics, personas, regions, tags. To the right, a "N runs, last date" summary tells you how much data is in scope.
  </Step>

  <Step title="KPI strip">
    Five cells in one bordered strip: **AI Visibility**, **Share of Voice**, **Citation Share**, **Pages Mentioning You**, **Sentiment**. Each shows the value, a delta chip vs the previous run, a sparkline, and a plain-English sub-line on hover.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Visibility Trend">
    A per-run line chart of your Visibility Score, with the option to overlay competitors.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Platform performance">
    A heatmap of Visibility, Share of Voice, and Citation Share, per engine. Instantly shows which engines favor you and which do not.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Topic Distribution">
    A treemap sized by prompt count and colored by Visibility. Big dark boxes are your problem areas: high volume, low presence.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sentiment tile">
    Mix strip (positive / neutral / negative) plus "What AI is saying" theme quotes pulled directly from engine answers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share of Voice + Rank distribution">
    A gauge and legend for Share of Voice, next to a histogram of your position when named (1st, 2nd, ..., 5th+).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Top cited content">
    Your owned pages ranked by citation share so you know which URLs are earning the most references.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Prompt visibility">
    A toggle between prompts that mention you and prompts that do not, with the top rival for each un-mentioned prompt.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Deltas on every card are always vs the previous tracking run. If you want a week-over-week view, use the Filter Bar date range and compare two runs directly.
</Tip>
