What is CustomerPing?
CustomerPing is an AI-powered tool that helps businesses find new customers by monitoring online forums and discussions. It sends instant notifications (pings) when potential customers discuss problems that your business can solve, enabling you to join the conversation and convert prospects.
How does CustomerPing work?
You set up a Radar Station by telling the AI which forums and topics are relevant to your business. The AI scans forum articles, ranks them against your criteria, and sends you a ping via RSS feed when it finds something relevant. You then join the conversation to help the prospect.
What is a Radar Station?
A Radar Station is your personalized monitoring setup where you specify which forums and topics the AI should track. Each Radar Station outputs an RSS feed that you can subscribe to on your phone, Slack, Notion, or email to receive pings.
How much does CustomerPing cost?
CustomerPing charges 10 cents per forum article scanned. You buy credit packs ranging from 200 to 5000 credits. The first 200 credits are free. Monthly auto-refill gives you a 10% discount.
Is there a free trial?

Where do I receive ping notifications?
Pings are delivered via RSS feed that you can subscribe to on your mobile phone, Slack, Notion, email, or any other platform that supports RSS feeds. You choose where to receive notifications.
Can I monitor any forum?
Yes, you can set up Radar Stations for any forum where your target audience discusses their needs. You tell the AI which specific forums and topics to monitor for your business.
What happens if the AI ranks an article incorrectly?

Does CustomerPing work on social media?
