AI Visibility Tracker: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Grok

Find out whether AI assistants recommend your brand, or your competitors, and track it week over week. Enter your brand, a few competitors and your category. This Actor asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Grok your buyers' questions with live web search, several times each, and gives you a visibility score, share of voice, sentiment, the sources AI cites, competitors you didn't know about, and what changed since your last run.

Use it for generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), LLM visibility tracking, AI share of voice and competitor monitoring.

What you get

• Visibility score (0–100) for your brand and every competitor, overall and per AI engine
• Mention rate with a 95% range, so you know how much to trust the number
• Position and prominence: where your brand appears in each answer, and who is named first
• Recommended or just mentioned, plus positive / neutral / negative sentiment per brand
• Share of voice across all tracked brands
• Competitors you are not tracking: other brands the AI recommends in your category
• What AI says about you: claims about your pricing, features and fit, to check for accuracy
• Questions where you are missing, and who is named first instead
• Cited sources: the domains AI relies on for your category, and whether your own site is cited
• Changes since your last run: score and mention-rate deltas per brand and engine, new competitors, new or lost sources, new gaps
• A client-ready HTML report, plus every answer as a dataset row (JSON, CSV, Excel) with full text, citations and the search queries the AI used
• Buyer questions written for you from your category, if you don't have your own

Analysis, question generation, the report and run-over-run tracking are included at no extra charge.

How to use it

1. Enter your brand, any aliases and your website domain.
2. Describe what you sell in a few words (for example "maintenance management software (CMMS)").
3. Add competitors, one per line. Optional aliases and domain: Name | alias 1, alias 2 | domain.com
4. Add your own buyer questions, or set Generate buyer questions to have up to 20 written for you. Up to 25 questions in total.
5. Pick the AI engines, the buyer country, and the runs per question (3–5 recommended).
6. Run it and open the report from the Output tab.

Track it over time: schedule the Actor weekly with the same input. Each run is compared with your previous run under the same tracking ID (brand + country by default), and the report shows the trend.

Pricing

You pay only for AI answers collected; failed answers are never charged.

	Price
AI answer, built-in API keys (no setup)	$0.04
AI answer, your own API key for that engine	$0.01
Analysis, generated questions, report, tracking	Free

Example: 10 questions × 4 engines × 3 runs = 120 answers = $4.80 on built-in keys, or $1.20 with your own keys.

Set a maximum cost per run in the run options; the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached and still produces the report. Free Apify plan users can try up to 4 answers per run on the built-in keys; use a paid Apify plan or your own keys for full runs.

Output example

One dataset row per answer:

{
  "engine": "Perplexity",
  "prompt": "What are good alternatives to Competitor X?",
  "run": 2,
  "brandMentioned": true,
  "brandPosition": 2,
  "firstBrandNamed": "Competitor Y",
  "competitorsMentioned": ["Competitor Y", "Competitor X"],
  "brandSentiment": {"Your Brand": {"sentiment": "positive", "recommended": true}},
  "otherBrandsNamed": ["Brand you didn't list"],
  "claimsAboutBrand": ["Starts at $45 per user per month"],
  "citedDomains": ["g2.com", "reddit.com", "capterra.com"],
  "brandDomainCited": false,
  "answerExcerpt": "Here are some strong alternatives..."
}

Plus SUMMARY (all metrics and changes as JSON) and REPORT (HTML) in the run's key-value store.

How it works

Each question goes through each provider's official API with web search on and the buyer country set as the user's approximate location. A brand counts as named when its name, an alias or its domain appears as a whole word ("Acme" matches "Acme's" but not "Acmeville"). A second, low-cost AI pass reads each answer to record recommendation, sentiment, other brands and claims.

The visibility score weights 45% mention rate, 25% prominence (1 ÷ position, 0 when not named), 20% recommendation rate and 10% own-site citation rate. Ranges are 95% Wilson intervals.

Run history is saved in a key-value store named ai-visibility-history in your own Apify account. Delete it at any time to reset tracking.

Limitations

• Answers from the API can differ from what a signed-in consumer sees in the ChatGPT or Gemini apps, which personalise results.
• AI answers vary over time; that's why the Actor samples each question several times and shows ranges.
• The tool measures visibility; it does not change it. Use the gaps, cited sources and claims to decide where to act.

FAQ

Is this scraping ChatGPT? No. It uses each provider's official API with web search, not the consumer apps.

Which models are used? Current web-search-capable models from each provider. The exact model for every answer is in the dataset.

Can I use it from other tools? Yes: through the Apify API, schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, or as a tool for AI agents through the Apify MCP server.
