- The problem: buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews for recommendations, and you cannot see whether your brand is in those answers.
- What an AI SEO tracker does: runs the questions your customers ask across AI engines, then shows who gets mentioned, which sources get cited, and how that changes week to week.
- AI SEO Tracker: my tool. Tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and AI Overviews, from a $49 one-time report.
- Alternatives: Ahrefs Brand Radar, Profound, Peec AI, and Otterly.AI.
Ranking #1 on Google used to be the whole game. Now a growing share of buyers skip the results page and ask an AI assistant: "What is the best CRM for a small agency?" or "Which link building service should I use?"
If your brand is not in that answer, you are invisible to that buyer, no matter where you rank. And unlike Google rankings, there is no Search Console for AI answers.
I kept hearing the same thing from clients and founders: "We are doing SEO, but we have no idea if ChatGPT recommends us." So I built a tool to measure it.
How AI visibility tracking works
AI answers change with every model update and differ by how a question is worded, so a single manual check tells you very little. A tracker fixes that by:
- Building a prompt set from the questions your customers actually ask, such as "best [category] for [audience]" and "[competitor] alternatives."
- Running those prompts across several AI engines on a schedule.
- Recording each answer: whether you are mentioned, where you rank in the list, which competitors appear, and which pages get cited as sources.
- Trending the results so you can see whether your visibility grows after you publish content or earn mentions.
What AI SEO Tracker checks
AI SEO Tracker runs your prompts across five engines:
- ChatGPT
- Perplexity
- Google Gemini
- Microsoft Copilot
- Google AI Overviews
For each prompt you see whether your brand is mentioned, how competitors are positioned, and which sources the AI cited. The cited sources are the most useful part: they are the pages you need to be on, or the pages you need to outrank, to get into the answer.
The starting audit writes 50 prompts from your website URL, scans them daily for a week, and ends with a prioritized action plan. After that, weekly monitoring rescans automatically.
Built for: SaaS founders tracking AI recommendations, SEO agencies reporting on AI visibility, and marketers checking how competitors are positioned in AI answers.

AI visibility tracking is a new category, and the tools differ mostly in scale and price:
- Ahrefs Brand Radar: AI visibility built into Ahrefs, using a large database of prompts. Good if you already pay for Ahrefs.
- Profound: enterprise AI visibility platform with deep reporting, priced for large brands.
- Peec AI: AI search analytics focused on share of voice against competitors.
- Otterly.AI: brand monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews for small teams.
Pick AI SEO Tracker if you want prompts written for you and a one-time report before any subscription. Pick an enterprise platform if you track dozens of brands and markets.
How to get mentioned in AI answers
Tracking only helps if you act on it. The pattern I see across client reports:
- Get on the cited pages. AI answers lean on a small set of sources per topic, often listicles, comparison posts, and Reddit threads. Getting included on those pages moves AI visibility faster than anything else.
- Answer the question directly on your own site. Pages that state clearly what you do, who it is for, and how you compare get quoted.
- Earn mentions, not just links. AI models learn from how often and where your brand is discussed.
- Keep ranking in Google and Bing. AI search engines retrieve from search indexes, so classic SEO still feeds AI visibility.
