## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## GEO Rank Tracker — Weekly AI Visibility Monitoring

**GEO Rank Tracker** is the recurring companion to GEO Visibility Score. Instead of a one-shot snapshot, you **schedule it weekly** — each run computes your brand's GEO score across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, then diffs against the previous run: score trend, prompts you gained or lost, competitor movement, and alerts on big swings. Set it once, get a brand-visibility trend that builds itself.

This is GEO monitoring as it should be: continuous, not a single point in time. Know the moment you drop out of "best CRM" or a competitor starts showing up in your space.

> ⭐ **Found this useful?** Click the **Bookmark** button at the top of [this page](https://apify.com/dltik/geo-rank-tracker) — it helps the actor stay visible. Then set an **Apify Scheduled run (weekly)** so your trend builds automatically.

---

### What GEO Rank Tracker monitors over time

- 📈 **GEO score trend** — 0–100 score, tracked run over run (last 12 runs kept)
- ➕ **Prompts gained** — queries where your brand newly appears
- ➖ **Prompts lost** — queries where you dropped out (the alert that matters most)
- 🥊 **Competitor movement** — new competitors entering your AI answer space
- 🔔 **Alerts** — automatic flags on ±10 point swings, lost/gained prompts, new competitors
- 🗓️ **Built for scheduling** — history persists across runs via a named key-value store

---

### How to set up weekly GEO tracking

1. **[Create a free Apify account](https://apify.com/sign-up)**
2. **Open [GEO Rank Tracker](https://apify.com/dltik/geo-rank-tracker)**
3. **Enter your brand + the prompts you want to rank for** (keep this list stable so deltas are meaningful)
4. **Run once** — this saves your baseline
5. **Set an Apify Schedule** → weekly. Every week you get the new score + what changed + alerts
6. **Download or pipe** the trend report (JSON / CSV / Excel) into your dashboard

---

### What data does GEO Rank Tracker output?

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `current.geo_score` | This run's GEO score (0–100) |
| `current.mention_rate` | % of responses mentioning your brand |
| `vs_previous.score_change` | Delta vs the previous run |
| `vs_previous.prompts_gained` | Prompts you newly appear in |
| `vs_previous.prompts_lost` | Prompts you dropped out of |
| `vs_previous.competitors_new` | Competitors newly appearing |
| `alerts` | Human-readable alerts for this run |
| `trend` | Score + mention-rate per recorded run (last 12) |

---

### How much does GEO rank tracking cost?

**$0.05 per prompt analyzed** via Apify Pay-Per-Event (includes the OpenRouter call). A weekly schedule of 10 prompts × 3 LLMs = 30 events ≈ **$1.50/week**.

| Schedule | Prompts × LLMs | Weekly cost |
|----------|----------------|-------------|
| Light (5 × 1) | 5 | ~$0.25 |
| Standard (10 × 3) | 30 | ~$1.50 |
| Deep (20 × 3) | 60 | ~$3.00 |

Versus $99+/mo for Semrush AI Visibility — and this one runs on your schedule.

---

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `brand` | string | ✅ | — | Brand to track (history is keyed by this) |
| `prompts` | array | ❌ | 4 defaults | Buying-intent queries (use `{brand}`) — keep stable |
| `competitors` | array | ❌ | `[]` | Competitor names to watch alongside you |
| `llms` | array | ❌ | 3 models | OpenRouter model IDs |
| `limit` | integer | ❌ | `10` | Max prompts per run |
| `openrouterApiKey` | string | ❌ | env var | Override the default OpenRouter key |

---

### Why recurring beats one-shot

A one-time GEO audit tells you where you stand today. **GEO Rank Tracker tells you which way you're moving** — and alerts you the week a competitor overtakes you, while you can still react. AI answers change constantly as models update; a single snapshot is stale within weeks. Trend > snapshot.

OpenRouter model IDs. Default: 3 cheap models (Gemini Flash, GPT-4o-mini, Claude Haiku). Keep stable across runs.
## `limit` (type: `integer`):

Cap total prompts. 1 prompt x N LLMs = N charged events.
## `openrouterApiKey` (type: `string`):

Override the default OpenRouter key. Get one at openrouter.ai/keys.
