AI Brand Visibility Tracker – ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity

More and more buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Claude instead of Google: "What is the best CRM for a small business?". If the AI doesn't name you, you don't exist for that buyer.

This Actor asks your customers' questions to the AI assistants and tells you, for every answer:

• Is your brand mentioned? At which position (1st, 2nd…)?
• Which competitors are mentioned, and in what order?
• Which websites the AI cites as sources — the pages to work on (GEO / AEO).
• Is your own site cited as a source?

Plus a summary: visibility %, average position, number of first places, share of voice against your competitors and the most cited domains, per engine and overall.

ChatGPT and Gemini answers are the real web answers users see (with web search); Perplexity and Claude come from their official models. Data is collected through a licensed provider (DataForSEO): no accounts, no blocks.

Pricing

$0.04 per AI answer on the free plan, $0.03 on Starter and down to $0.025 on higher plans. One answer = one question asked to one engine, fully analysed. Failed answers are not charged; the summary is free.

Example: 20 questions × 3 engines = 60 answers = $1.80 per check.

Apify free plan

On the Apify free plan you get one free trial run (2 AI answers) with no setup. After that, add your own DataForSEO API login in the "Apify free plan" section (DataForSEO gives $1 of free credit at sign‑up, about 200 AI answers), or use a paid Apify plan — no key needed and no limit. A blocked run stops immediately with a message and nothing is charged.

Good to know

• AI answers change from one run to the next; schedule runs and compare averages rather than single answers.
• Brand detection is by name, your extra spellings and your domain (whole words, case‑insensitive).
• Claude may answer from its own knowledge without web search; the webSearch field says so for each answer.
