Be the university AI
recommends
More and more applicants now start their university research with AI. When they ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for the “best university for nursing” or “is this a good uni”, Signal360 shows whether you make the shortlist - and catches wrong entry requirements, fees and clearing places before they cost you applications.
Course Shortlist Visibility
Track whether AI engines name you on “best university for [subject]” and “universities like X” answers - the shortlist where the decision starts - against your real competitor set.
Rankings & Reputation
See how AI summarises your league-table position, TEF, NSS and graduate outcomes - and your share of voice versus peers when applicants and parents ask “is it any good?”
Entry-Requirement Accuracy
Catch the moment an engine states the wrong entry tariff, IELTS score, fee or visa rule about you. Verified against your own facts, with signed evidence to take to the engine.
Win Clearing
Own the “still has places” moment.
Clearing is a few frantic, search-driven days. Signal360 watches the clearing lens across every engine during the UCAS clearing window (July to October) and alerts you the instant you stop appearing for “which universities still have nursing places”.

- Per-subject visibility so you defend your strongest courses

One platform, every institution
Tuned to who actually makes the decision - and the questions they ask AI.
Universities
National and international reach. League tables, employability and clearing decide the shortlist - recruitment, reputation, outcomes, clearing and international lenses.
Colleges (FE / Sixth Form)
Local catchment, A-level vs BTEC/T-level, progression and apprenticeships. We tune the lenses to “best college near me” and Ofsted, not national rankings.
Independent Schools
The fee-paying parent is the buyer. Exam results, ISI inspection, bursaries and boarding - surfaced exactly as parents ask AI for “best private school in [area]”.
Built on the sources AI trusts for education
We weight the UK sector's authority signals - league tables, the regulator, UCAS and the national datasets - the way the models do, so you're measured against what actually shapes an AI answer.

Higher-ed AEO, answered
The questions universities, colleges and schools ask us most.
Do AI engines actually recommend universities?
Yes. When applicants ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for the "best university for [subject]" or "universities like X", the models return a shortlist of named institutions. Signal360 measures whether you appear on it, for which subjects, and against which peers.
How does clearing monitoring work?
Through the UCAS clearing window (July to October) we automatically run the clearing lens across every engine, tracking questions like "which universities still have nursing places". You're alerted the moment your visibility drops on the queries that convert during clearing.
Can you catch wrong entry requirements or fees?
Yes. We check what the engines say about your entry tariff, IELTS score, fees and visa rules against your own verified facts, and raise an alert with signed evidence the moment an engine states something inaccurate - before it costs you an application.
Which AI engines do you track?
Every major AI answer engine - ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Meta AI and Mistral - including their web-search modes where available, so you see the answers applicants actually get.
Do you cover colleges and independent schools too?
Yes. The same lens engine tunes to FE and sixth-form colleges (local catchment, Ofsted, BTEC and T-levels, progression) and to independent schools (the fee-paying parent, exam results, ISI inspection, bursaries and boarding) - not just universities.
