AI Visibility Tracker: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AIO

Find out whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode mention and cite your brand when people ask the questions your customers ask. For each prompt and engine you get one row:

• is your brand named, and in which position;
• is your website one of the sources;
• which competitors are named or cited;
• your share of voice;
• which websites the engine relied on.

Built for AI visibility tracking (also called generative engine optimization, GEO, or AI search optimization) by marketers, SEO teams, agencies and AI agents. $0.01 per check, with no subscription. That is about 5 times less than typical AI rank trackers.

What does AI Visibility Tracker do?

You enter your brand, your website and the prompts to check, for example best note-taking app for teams. The Actor asks each selected engine every prompt, from the country you choose, and analyses the answer:

Field	What it tells you
brand_mentioned, brand_mention_count	Whether the answer names your brand (or one of its other names), and how often
brand_rank	Order of your first mention among the brands named: 1 means your brand comes first
brand_cited, brand_citation_rank, brand_cited_urls	Whether one of your pages is a source of the answer, its position among the sources, and which pages
competitors_mentioned, competitors_cited	The competitors you listed that the answer names or cites, in order
share_of_voice	Your mentions divided by all mentions of you and your competitors, from 0 to 1
top_cited_domains, sources	The websites the engine used, in order: the pages to win a mention on
brands_detected	ChatGPT only: every brand ChatGPT marked in its answer, a quick way to spot competitors you did not list
fan_out_queries	The searches the engine ran to build its answer, when it reports them
answer_excerpt, answer_text	The text around your first mention, and the full answer (up to 6,000 characters)
status	ok, no_ai_answer (Google showed no AI answer for that query) or error (failed check, not charged)

The run also writes a SUMMARY record, linked in the Output tab:

• mention rate, citation rate, average rank and share of voice, overall and for each engine;
• each competitor's mention rate;
• the most cited domains;
• what was charged.

Which AI engines are covered?

Engine	How it is asked	Checks per prompt
Google AI Overview	Google search from the chosen country, with the AI Overview loaded	1
Google AI Mode	Google AI Mode answer (available in fewer countries)	1
ChatGPT	ChatGPT with web search	1
Gemini	Gemini answer	1
Perplexity	Perplexity sonar with web search	2

By default the Actor asks Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. Pick the engines you need in the input. All five engines were tested on 25 October 2026 from the United States and from France. The answers come from DataForSEO's SERP and AI Optimization APIs, collected live at run time.

How to use it

1. Enter your brand and your websites (for citation checks).
2. Add the prompts to check: up to 100 per run, as a buyer would type them.
3. Optionally list up to 10 competitors, as a name or as name | domain, to measure share of voice.
4. Choose the engines and the country, then start. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read the SUMMARY.

{
  "brand": "Notion",
  "brandDomains": ["notion.so", "notion.com"],
  "competitors": ["Coda | coda.io", "Obsidian | obsidian.md", "Evernote | evernote.com"],
  "prompts": ["best note-taking app for teams", "notion alternatives", "best wiki software for startups"],
  "engines": ["google_ai_overview", "chatgpt", "perplexity", "gemini"],
  "country": "US"
}

Answers change from one run to the next and depend on location, so treat one run as a snapshot. To follow a trend, save your input as a task and schedule it weekly: each run keeps the same columns.

How much does it cost?

$0.01 per check, where a check is one prompt asked to one engine. A Perplexity answer counts as 2 checks, because Perplexity charges more for each answer. There is also a $0.01 start fee per run that returns at least one answer. Lower prices apply on higher Apify plans.

Run	Checks	Price
10 prompts × Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Gemini	30	$0.31
10 prompts × the 4 default engines	50	$0.51
100 prompts × the 4 default engines	500	$5.01

• Failed checks are free. They are stored with status: "error" and the reason.
• Google showing no AI answer is a result, so it is charged like an answer: status: "no_ai_answer".
• Your maximum cost per run is never exceeded. Checks are booked before the Actor asks the engines. When the limit is reached, the run stops cleanly and its status message says how many checks are left.
• Free Apify plans can check 2 prompts per run, to try the Actor.

How does it compare?

	This Actor	Single-engine scrapers	AI rank trackers
Engines in one run	5	1	3 to 5
Brand mention, rank, citation and share of voice	Yes	No: raw answers only	Yes
Competitors	Up to 10	No	Yes
Typical price per prompt and engine	$0.01	$0.002 to $0.013	$0.05 to $0.09

Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

The Actor is available as a tool through the Apify MCP server. In Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client, connect to:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=gaelasao/ai-visibility-tracker

Then ask, for example: "Check whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention Notion for these 10 prompts in the US, and compare with Coda and Obsidian."

FAQ

How is a mention detected?

The Actor looks for your brand name and its other names as whole words, ignoring case, in the text of the answer. Link targets and bare URLs are ignored, so a link to your site is not counted as a mention; it counts as a citation if it is a source. Names that are common words, such as Apple, can match in other senses. Use specific names or aliases.

How is a citation detected?

A citation is a source of the answer whose domain is one of your websites or one of their subdomains, for example help.notion.so for notion.so. Without websites in the input, citation fields stay empty.

Why is there no AI Overview for some prompts?

Google shows AI Overviews for some queries only, and less often for brand or shopping queries. Those rows have status: "no_ai_answer". This also tells you which prompts have no AI Overview to win.

Will I see the same answers in my browser?

Not exactly. AI answers vary between runs and users, and depend on location, language, signed-in history and the model version. The Actor asks from the country and language you choose, without a personal history. Run the same prompts regularly and compare rates rather than single answers.

Which countries and languages are supported?

Every country DataForSEO serves for each engine. Enter an ISO code such as US, GB, DE or FR, or a country name. The language defaults to the country's main language. Google AI Mode and some engines are available in fewer countries; an unsupported combination returns a free error row.

Can I find out how many people ask these questions?

Yes, with Keyword Research API. It returns the Google search volume and the AI search volume of each prompt or keyword, so you can pick the prompts worth tracking.

Is the data source reliable?

The answers come live from DataForSEO, a data provider for SEO tools, through its SERP and AI Optimization APIs. Each row keeps the time of the check and the model when reported, and the SUMMARY reports what the source charged.
