Supported Locales

Knowatoa supports monitoring AI search visibility across countries worldwide. When you create questions, Knowatoa uses the locale (country + language combination) to provide geographically relevant AI search results.

Featured Countries

These are the most commonly used countries on Knowatoa, available as quick-select options when configuring sites and questions.

All Countries

In addition to the featured countries above, Knowatoa supports all countries recognized by the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard. You can select any country when configuring your account, sites, or questions.

How Locales Work

A locale combines a language and a country to determine how AI search queries are contextualized. For example:

• en-US — English, United States
• fr-CA — French, Canada
• pt-BR — Portuguese, Brazil

When Knowatoa sends questions to AI search engines, the locale helps ensure results reflect the geographic and linguistic context that matters to your audience.

Sub-Country Targeting

For more precise geographic targeting, you can also specify:

• Region — a state, province, or administrative area (e.g., “California”, “Ontario”)
• City — a specific city (e.g., “Seattle”, “Toronto”)

These optional fields let you monitor how AI search engines respond to location-specific queries.

Setting a Default Locale

You can set default country and language at three levels:

1. Account — applies to all new sites. Go to Account Settings to change.
2. Site — applies to all new questions for that site. Edit the site to change.
3. Question — set when creating a question. Cannot be changed after creation.
