What Foglift Shipped Since Launch: Summer 2026 Product Update

Foglift now connects ten product layers: single-page Technical Audits, weekly full-site audits, AI Visibility, prompt discovery, prioritized improvement, page evidence, crawler and referral tracking, developer automation, buyer-intent measurement, and client delivery. The $49 Launch plan is the entry point for daily five-engine monitoring and developer access. The larger story is the connected workflow that takes a team from diagnosis to measurable action.

We launched Foglift on Product Hunt on March 24, 2026. The initial promise was straightforward: show teams whether their sites were ready for AI discovery and whether AI answers mentioned their brands. The product has since grown into an operating layer for the work that comes before and after monitoring.

The ten layers now available in Foglift

Full-site audits now review up to 100 pages each week

Released August 13, 2026, full-site audits give Launch, Growth, and Enterprise workspaces automatic weekly coverage plus a manual run when the seven-day availability opens. Each run discovers the site's eligible URLs, selects up to 100 pages, and records the completed whole-site findings in Technical History.

The production activation canary discovered 787 URLs on foglift.io, selected and analyzed the exact 100-page cap, and completed with zero page errors. The selection step prioritizes commercially useful page types and citation evidence before applying the crawl budget, so a larger sitemap does not become an arbitrary first-100 crawl.

The August 14 report upgrade adds deterministic site-level analysis to every newly captured run. Internal architecture shows click depth, orphan pages, thinly linked pages, deep pages, and strongest hubs. Consistency hygiene shows observed origin status-code distribution, missing or duplicate titles and descriptions, H1 defects, canonical issues, completed redirect chains, proven redirect loops, URLs stopped at Foglift's redirect hop limit, pages without JSON-LD, and browser-loaded mixed content. Foglift transport failures stay separate from observed origin responses.

The same immutable report also separates answer-search crawler access from training, grounding, dataset, and user-triggered policies. Sitemap, robots.txt, llms.txt, and llms-full.txt evidence stays attached to the run. Historical reports say when a newer evidence slice was not captured instead of reconstructing it from the current site.

Paid users can open Technical History inside Foglift to queue a run and review completed whole-site findings. The permanent free Technical Audit remains the fastest path for checking one public URL. The full-site Technical Audit guide lists every captured report section and plan boundary.

Client delivery now has its own product surface

Released August 11, 2026, the Client Portal gives Growth and Enterprise teams a branded, read-only delivery surface in the Connections area. Add the client name and the URLs that matter, then share one link. The portal shows the latest Technical Audit scores, top issues, and scan dates for those URLs. It refreshes after a new Technical Audit, so the client sees current evidence without a separate report assembly step.

Phase 1 uses shareable links that expire after 30 days. Clients do not need a login. Custom report templates are outside the current contract, and Foglift does not sell a separate Agency SKU. The published Growth and Enterprise plans are the product boundary.

Agencies can review the full plan and workflow contract on Foglift for Agencies.

From prompt monitoring to an improvement system

Prompt discovery ranks demand-backed opportunities and moves selected questions into tracking. Query Fanouts expose related questions. Recommendations and content briefs translate the evidence into a fix queue. Watched Pages record the pages that matter, Knowledge Bases keep workspace context available, and Ask Foglift answers scoped questions against that evidence.

This is the part that makes the product more than a reporting dashboard. A mention-rate chart can show that a problem exists. Foglift also gives the team a concrete path from the weak prompt or page to work that can be assigned, shipped, and measured again.

Traffic evidence for modern stacks

Foglift Tracker connects answer visibility to observed traffic. AI Crawler Analytics records recognized crawler requests. Referral tracking records recognized visits from AI answer surfaces and the pages they reach. Teams can install the evidence layer through Next.js middleware, Cloudflare Workers, nginx mirroring, the downloadable WordPress plugin, or the browser pixel.

The Wix app adds a hosted-platform path for recognized AI referrals. Wix does not expose server-side crawler logs to apps, so Foglift states that boundary in the product and keeps Wix referral evidence separate from crawler evidence.

Installation instructions live in the Tracker overview and the stack-specific WordPress and Next.js guides.

Developer access starts at Launch

Launch includes daily monitoring across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overview, plus REST API access, the foglift-scan CLI, hosted OAuth MCP, a local npm MCP server, webhooks, and batch scanning. The plan includes 50 API requests per day and 1,000 per month. Growth raises those limits and adds Buyer-intent Win Rate and sitemap scanning.

Batch processing also gained a stricter reliability boundary. Foglift reserves provider liability with its durable queue owner before provider work begins, settles or releases the reservation safely on replay, and checks for stale or orphaned reservations. Provider-health monitoring keeps failures visible before they become a silent reporting gap.

Pricing is the kicker

Every plan includes unlimited single-page Technical Audits. Active Free workspaces receive weekly Perplexity monitoring plus on-demand AI Visibility Checks. Launch costs $49 per month and adds weekly full-site audits of up to 100 pages, three brands, daily monitoring across all five engines, 4,000 monthly tokens, and the complete developer surface. Growth costs $129 per month and Enterprise costs $299 per month.

The product case comes first: Foglift connects the technical, answer, traffic, action, and developer layers in one workflow. Public pricing makes that workflow accessible to startups and agencies without an enterprise sales process.

A product-announcement cadence from here

This catch-up update resets the cadence. Substantive releases will now receive a versioned changelog entry and a concise announcement that states the capability, the plan boundary, and the workflow it unlocks. Biweekly roundups will collect smaller improvements without turning every fix into a marketing event.

Future work remains visible on the public roadmap. The changelog remains the record of what has actually shipped.
