AI Visibility Tracker

Measure any brand's AI-search visibility — how often it's cited across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Grok, and Google AI Overviews / AI Mode — plus the top domains and pages that cite it, the topics it's cited for, and a 6-month trend. One call per brand, no account, no login. JSON/CSV/Excel out.

Why use the AI Visibility Tracker?

• All AI engines in one call. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Grok, Google AI Overviews & AI Mode — one request per brand, not one per prompt.
• Real citation volume at index scale. Total AI citations, broken down per model, from a large citation index — not a handful of live prompts.
• See who cites you. Top-cited domains and your own top-cited pages, so you know where your AI visibility comes from.
• Track topics & trend. The topics you're cited for, and a 6-month per-model timeline to see momentum.
• No account, no keys. Runs out of the box; the captcha is solved for you.
• Bulk & comparable. Track many brands in one run and compare them side by side.

What is AI visibility (GEO / AEO)?

As buyers move from Google to AI assistants, being cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews matters as much as ranking. This actor quantifies that "generative-engine optimization" (GEO) footprint for any brand: how visible you (or a competitor) are across AI answers, which sources feed those answers, and how it's trending.

Supported inputs

• Brands — any brand or entity name (e.g. Notion, Apify, Slack). Add several to compare them in one run.

Use cases

• GEO / AEO monitoring — track your brand's citation share across AI engines over time.
• Competitive benchmarking — compare your AI visibility against rivals in one run.
• Content strategy — see which topics and pages AI engines cite, and double down.
• PR & digital-footprint — find which third-party domains (Reddit, review sites, docs) drive your AI mentions.
• Reporting — feed a clean per-brand, per-model dataset into dashboards for clients.

How it works

1. Input — provide one or more brand names and pick which datasets you want.
2. Processing — each worker solves the captcha automatically, makes a single request that covers every AI engine, and rotates residential proxies.
3. Output — the response is flattened into one row per data point (overview, per-model, top-domain, top-page, topic, monthly), ready to export.

FAQ

Do I need an account or API keys? No. It runs out of the box; the captcha is solved for you.

Where does the data come from? Ahrefs' public AI-visibility tool, which aggregates brand citations across major AI engines. It reflects that index's coverage.

How is it different from prompt-based trackers? Prompt-based tools send a handful of live prompts to each model. This returns aggregate citation volume across engines from a large index in a single call — broader coverage, one price per brand.

How is it billed? Per brand tracked (one flat charge per brand), regardless of how many datasets you enable. See the Pricing tab.

Can I track many brands at once? Yes — pass a list of brands; they're processed in parallel.
