AI Brand Visibility Tracker

Find out whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude recommend your brand when customers ask them for advice — and whether they cite your website.

Give the Actor your brand, your competitors, and the questions your customers ask. It sends each question to each AI assistant with live web search turned on, then measures:

• Mentioned — does the answer name your brand (or any of its aliases)?
• Position — in what order were you mentioned relative to the competitors you track? (1 = first)
• Cited — does the answer link to your website?
• Share of voice — your share of all brand mentions across the run, per engine and overall.

Example use cases

• Track "generative engine optimization" (GEO) progress month over month.
• See which competitors AI assistants recommend instead of you, and which pages they cite.
• Compare engines: you may be visible in Perplexity and absent from ChatGPT.
• Schedule weekly runs and alert on drops.

Input

Field	What to enter
Brand name	e.g. Acme
Brand aliases	Other names: product names, abbreviations
Brand domains	Your sites, e.g. acme.com (subdomains count too)
Competitors	One per line, optionally with aliases and domains: Globex | Globex Corp | globex.io
Prompts	Up to 50 questions your customers ask, e.g. "What's the best invoicing tool for freelancers?"
AI engines	Any of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude
Country	Optional two-letter code to localize search (ChatGPT, Claude)

Prompts are sent exactly as written. Leave your brand out of them to measure organic visibility.

Output

One dataset row per prompt per engine:

{
  "prompt": "What's the best invoicing tool for freelancers?",
  "engine": "perplexity",
  "model": "perplexity/sonar",
  "brand": { "name": "Acme", "mentioned": true, "mentionCount": 2, "position": 2, "cited": true, "citedUrls": ["https://acme.com/pricing"] },
  "competitors": [{ "name": "Globex", "mentioned": true, "mentionCount": 1, "position": 1, "cited": false, "citedUrls": [] }],
  "citations": [{ "url": "https://acme.com/pricing", "title": "Pricing", "domain": "acme.com", "entity": "Acme" }],
  "searchQueries": ["best invoicing tool freelancers"],
  "answer": "…full answer text…",
  "usedOwnApiKey": false,
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-17T12:00:00.000Z",
  "error": null
}

A run summary (mention rate, citation rate, average position and share of voice per brand, overall and per engine) is saved to the key-value store as OUTPUT.

Pricing

Pay per check (one prompt answered by one engine). Failed checks are not charged. Set a maximum charge per run to cap spending; the Actor stops before starting checks your limit can't cover.

Use your own API keys (optional, in the input) to pay a much lower per-check price; the AI provider then bills you directly for its usage.

How it works and its limits

• Answers come from each provider's official API with web search enabled. API answers are close to, but not always identical to, what people see in the consumer apps, which can personalize results.
• AI answers vary from run to run. For trends, use several prompts and compare runs over time rather than relying on a single answer.
• Mention matching is whole-word and case-insensitive; add aliases for alternative spellings.

Data sources and terms

This Actor only calls official, documented APIs, within their terms:

Engine	API
ChatGPT	OpenAI Responses API with the web_search tool
Perplexity	Perplexity Agent API with the web_search tool
Claude	Anthropic Messages API with the web search tool

It does not scrape any website, log in anywhere, or collect personal data.
