Somya Goyal

Founder, Stellarcast

Somya founded Stellarcast after 15-plus years in quality engineering - eight of them at Accenture - where she owned quality for enterprise programs and built validation frameworks for AI systems. That background is the whole idea behind Stellarcast: treat AI visibility as something you measure, verify and prove, not something you guess at. She is building for global brand markets from India, and shares what she learns as she goes.

Her starting point is that being cited by AI is not the same as ranking, so it has to be measured on its own terms: locale by locale, with a range rather than a single number, and with every lift claim labelled by how sure the data lets you be.

What she writes about

The posts below carry her byline and a dated byline; the pricing table states the date each vendor page was checked. The pieces that best show the method:

• Ask an AI engine in the local language and it names different brands. We checked 4 markets.

  A study of how the brands an engine recommends change with the language of the question.

• Microsoft Copilot cited our blog 4,000+ times in 90 days

  A case study on what Copilot cited from a small site, and what it did not send.

• How Stellarcast measures AI visibility

  The method, in the open: locale-first measurement, P25-P75 bands, and what a lift claim has to carry.

• AI citation decay: what it is and how to measure it

  Why AI citations erode, how fast, and five checks that measure it before it becomes a cliff.

• AI visibility tool pricing (2026): 18 tools on one table

  Entry and top prices, engines per plan and billing terms, checked against each vendor's own pages.

Appearances

Somya joined Jeremy Rivera on the Unscripted SaaS Podcast in July 2026 to talk about why citations are not rankings and how fast AI engines change their answers. Highlights from the episode are on this blog.
