AI Brand Visibility Report: No API Key Needed

Find out whether AI search recommends your brand — without an API key, a subscription, or any setup. Enter your website and brand name; the Actor reads your site, writes 30 realistic buyer questions, asks Google Gemini with live Google Search each of them three times, and delivers a shareable HTML report: how often you are mentioned, how often your site is cited as a source, your share of voice against competitors, the websites the AI trusts for your market, and every sentence it wrote about you. You pay once per report. This is an unofficial tool and is not affiliated with Google.

What does the report show?

• Mention rate – share of AI answers that name your brand (or an alias or your domain), with a 95% confidence interval.
• Citation rate – share of answers whose sources include your website.
• Average position – where your brand appears among the brands named.
• Share of voice – your mentions versus each competitor you list.
• Most cited sources – the domains the AI relies on for your market: the review sites, blogs and competitors you need to be present on.
• What the AI says about you – every sentence mentioning your brand, so you can spot outdated or wrong claims.
• By question type – best-of lists, comparisons, how-to, pricing, trust and use-case questions reported separately.

Example: what a report surfaces

A September 2026 report for apify.com (competitors Bright Data, ScrapingBee, Zyte; 30 questions × 3 answers):

• Apify was named in 48% of answers (95% CI 38–58%), on average in position 1.4; share of voice 36% vs Bright Data 33%.
• Only 18% of answers cited apify.com. The engine leaned most on brightdata.com (29 answers), grepsr.com (26), octoparse.com (22) and scrapingbee.com (21).
• use-apify.com, a third-party guide site that is not run by Apify, was cited in 14 answers — nearly as often as the official site (16). The AI was sourcing Apify's pricing and product claims from a site the brand does not control. Findings like this are what the Most cited sources table is for.

Why use it?

• No API key, no subscription – the AI calls are included in the price.
• Honest statistics – every question is sampled several times because AI answers vary; rates come with confidence intervals, not a single lucky run.
• Live web answers – Gemini answers with Google Search grounding, the same way AI Overviews and Gemini users see your market today.
• Any market language – questions can be written in English, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Spanish and ten other languages.
• Fast – a full 90-answer report is typically ready in a few minutes.

Output

The first dataset item is the report summary:

{
  "type": "audit",
  "brand": "Apify",
  "language": "English",
  "promptCount": 30,
  "brandMentionRate": {"count": 43, "n": 90, "rate": 0.478, "ci95": [0.378, 0.58]},
  "brandCitationRate": {"count": 16, "n": 90, "rate": 0.178, "ci95": [0.113, 0.269]},
  "averageBrandRank": 1.4,
  "shareOfVoice": {"Apify": {"mentions": 43, "share": 0.358}, "Bright Data": {"mentions": 40, "share": 0.333}},
  "topCitedDomains": [{"domain": "brightdata.com", "count": 29}, {"domain": "grepsr.com", "count": 26}],
  "reportUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/REPORT.html",
  "charged": true
}

It is followed by one promptResult item per answer: category, prompt, sampleIndex, answer, citations (resolved source URLs), brandMentioned, brandCited, brandRank, competitorsMentioned, citedDomains, brandSentences, error, latencyMs.

Pricing

One report event per delivered report, whatever the number of questions. The AI usage is included — you need no account with Google. You are not charged when the run fails, when fewer than half of the planned answers could be collected (the partial report is still delivered, free), or in Demo mode.

Tips

• Keep the defaults (30 questions × 3 answers) for results you can compare month to month.
• Look at Most cited sources first: getting listed or reviewed on those sites is usually the fastest way to be cited more.
• Add your product names as Brand aliases so the AI's mentions of them count.
• Use Business description when your homepage is mostly images or JavaScript.

FAQ

Which AI does it ask? Google Gemini (the newest stable Flash model) with Google Search grounding. Results describe that engine on the day of the run.

Why do numbers change between runs? AI answers are non-deterministic. That is why each question is asked several times and every rate carries a confidence interval.

Is my data shared? Only your website's public pages are read. Questions and answers stay in your run's storage.

Can it improve my visibility? It measures and shows which sources matter; the content and PR work is up to you.
