What is AI Search Visibility Tracker?

Buyers now ask AI before they click. AI Search Visibility Tracker runs the questions your customers ask and reports whether your brand appears in the answer, where it ranks against competitors, and whether your site is cited as a source, starting with Google AI Overviews (no API key needed) and optionally ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini with your own keys.

What does it do?

• Google AI Overviews: is there an AI Overview, is your brand in it, at what position, and is your domain cited?
• Google top 10 organic results on every Google check, plus whether your domain ranks there
• Competitor share of voice: mentions and citations for each competitor
• Brands ranked by first mention in each answer
• Citations: the sources the AI answer links to
• Full answer text (on by default) for audits and screenshots
• ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini (optional): with your own API keys, billed to your accounts

Why choose us over cheaper scrapers?

• Honest output: limits are documented, missing data is labeled, never invented
• Clean, consistent schema ready for Excel, Sheets, BI tools or an LLM
• No account risk: no logins, no cookies
• Pay per result with a cost guard; no subscription
• Maintained by IntelScrape and fixed fast when the source changes

Who is it for?

• GEO / AEO (generative engine optimisation): track AI visibility like rankings
• SEO agencies: monthly AI-visibility reports for clients
• Brand & PR teams: see how AI describes you versus competitors
• Content strategy: find prompts where competitors are cited and you are not
• Product marketing: monitor category questions ("best X for Y")
• Investor & market research: see which vendors AI recommends in a category

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

No for Google AI Overviews. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini need your own API key (usage is billed to your account by that provider).

Why did a prompt show no AI Overview?

Google shows AI Overviews only for some queries, and it varies by time and location. "answerPresent": false is a real result; the Google top 10 is still returned.

Do you scrape the ChatGPT or Perplexity websites?

No. Those engines are checked through their official APIs with your key. API answers can differ from the consumer apps.

How is share of voice calculated?

For each answer we count which brands are mentioned, their first-mention order and which domains are cited; aggregate across prompts for share of voice.

Which countries and languages?

Set "country" and "language" for Google (e.g. us/en, gb/en, de/de).

Am I charged when no AI Overview appears?

Yes, when Google confirms there is no AI Overview, because the check still returns that result and the Google top 10. Checks that could not be read (blocked, or the AI Overview was still loading) and engine errors are saved but not charged.

How often should I run it?

Weekly or monthly is typical. AI answers change, so schedule it to see the trend.

Can I track many brands at once?

Add competitors to each run; their mentions and citations are measured in the same check.

Can an AI agent use it?

Yes, via the Apify API or the IntelScrape MCP server.
