A pitch project is a time-boxed snapshot of AI visibility: it collects data daily for 7 days and then stops automatically. Pitch projects use no credits — they’re ideal for agency pitches, quick audits, or trying Surfacd on a new brand before committing to ongoing monitoring.
Pitch projects are available on Custom plans only. Contact support to enable them for your team.

​
How the 7-Day Window Works

  1. Create the pitch — pick Pitch in the project wizard, name it, and choose your brand and platforms as usual.
  2. Add prompts — collection starts the moment your first prompts are collected, not when the project is created. A pitch with no prompts never starts its clock.
  3. Daily collection for 7 days — from the day of that first collection, the project collects once per day for seven calendar days.
  4. The window closes — collection stops automatically. All reports stay fully visible; the project just becomes read-only for data collection.
While the pitch is running, its card shows a countdown (“Collecting — N days left”). Before the first collection it shows “Awaiting first collection”, and afterwards “Pitch ended”.

​
Limits

Pitch projects don’t use credits. Instead they have their own limits, set by your plan:
LimitMeaning
Parallel pitchesHow many pitches can be pending or running at once. Finished or archived pitches free up a slot.
Prompts per pitchThe maximum prompts a single pitch can track (the project’s prompt limit is fixed at this value).
PlatformsWhich AI platforms a pitch can monitor.
Pitch projects don’t count toward your plan’s project limit, and your regular projects don’t count toward your pitch allowance.

​
What’s Fixed on a Pitch

To keep pitches simple and free, a few settings are locked while a project is a pitch:
  • Schedule — always daily for the 7-day window; it can’t be changed.
  • Prompt limit — fixed at your plan’s pitch prompt cap.
  • Platforms — limited to your plan’s pitch platform list.
You can still edit prompts, brands, competitors, and tags at any time — including after the window ends (edits after the window don’t trigger new collection).

​
Promoting a Pitch

Once the 7-day window has ended, you can promote the pitch into a regular ongoing project — keeping every prompt, brand, and all the data already collected:
  1. Open the Pitch tab on your projects dashboard
  2. On the ended pitch, choose Promote
  3. Pick Daily or Weekly monitoring
  4. Confirm — credits are reserved for the new schedule from that moment, and collection resumes at the next scheduled run
Promotion needs a free project slot and enough available credits for the chosen schedule. If you’re short, you’ll see exactly how many credits are needed — free up credits, adjust other projects, or upgrade, then try again.
Sharing works on pitch projects just like regular projects — a read-only share link of a finished pitch makes a great leave-behind for a client pitch. See Sharing & Collaboration.
