AI Search Visibility Tracker: ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini Brand Mentions

by SureSignal

Does ChatGPT recommend your brand, or your competitor? Enter the questions your buyers ask AI assistants. SureSignal checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude and tells you whether your brand is mentioned, where it ranks against competitors, which websites the AI cites, and what changed since the last check.

Built on official AI model APIs, with no scraping of chatgpt.com or perplexity.ai and no accounts or cookies.

What does this AI visibility tracker measure?

• ✅ Brand mentioned? Yes or no for every prompt and engine, plus the exact sentence
• 🏁 Rank vs competitors: the order brands appear in the answer
• 📊 Share of voice across your competitor set
• 🔗 Citations: every URL and domain the AI cited, and whether your site is one of them
• 🔔 Change tracking: mention gained or lost, rank change, new or lost cited domains, new competitors showing up
• 🎯 Sampling: ask each prompt several times, since AI answers vary
• 📝 Full answer text for audits and content gaps

Who is it for?

SEO and GEO (generative engine optimization) agencies, brand and PR teams, SaaS marketers, and founders who want to know if AI search engines recommend them, with no subscription.

How to track brand mentions in ChatGPT and Perplexity

1. Enter your brand, domain and competitors.
2. Add 5–50 buyer prompts, such as "best CRM for small business" or "HubSpot alternatives".
3. Pick engines and schedule the tracker daily or weekly. Turn on Only output changes to get alerts only when something moves.

Output example

{
  "prompt": "best CRM for small business",
  "engine": "perplexity",
  "brandMentioned": true,
  "brandRank": 1,
  "brandCited": true,
  "shareOfVoice": 0.25,
  "competitorsMentioned": ["salesforce", "pipedrive", "Zoho CRM"],
  "citedDomains": ["hubspot.com", "forbes.com", "g2.com"],
  "mentionChanged": false,
  "rankChange": 1,
  "newCitedDomains": ["g2.com"],
  "changed": true
}

How much does AI visibility tracking cost?

Only pay for new data. You pay $0.15 per new or changed AI answer. A check is billed the first time a prompt is checked on an engine, and after that only when something moved: the brand was gained or lost, its rank changed, a cited domain appeared or disappeared, or a new competitor showed up. Unchanged answers are free, whether or not you choose to see them. No monthly subscription.

• Model usage is billed separately, to your own Apify account, at OpenRouter's rates through Apify's OpenRouter integration: roughly half a cent per answer for Perplexity and a few cents for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude (Apify charges free-plan accounts more for this). Or bring your own OpenRouter key.
• Cited sources shift often between runs, so many repeat checks will count as changed. Every billed row has billed: true and shows exactly what changed.
• Example: 20 prompts × 2 engines checked weekly is at most 40 billed answers ($6) a week, less when answers stay the same.
• We never charge for errors.

Is this the same as what users see in ChatGPT?

No tracker can see an individual user's personalized chat. This one asks the same question through each provider's official search-enabled model API (OpenAI search models, Perplexity Sonar, Gemini and Claude with web search). That's the reproducible, terms-friendly way to measure how AI engines answer your buyers' questions. Use samples to smooth out randomness.
