Open ChatGPT. Type the question your best customer would type.

Count the brands it names. Is yours one of them?

If not, that customer never saw your ad, never visited your site, never entered your funnel. Your analytics show nothing, because nothing happened. And your Google rank tracker cannot see it: it only measures Google's blue links, not what the AI says.

AI Brand Visibility Tracker shows you what ChatGPT and Perplexity say about your brand, for every question you care about, every week. You get the answer, your rank, the sources the AI cites, your share of voice against competitors, and an alert when your visibility drops.

Try it first. On a free Apify account, your first run covers 2 prompts on both engines. Enter your brand, see the answers. Nothing to install, no API key to find.

What you get, for every prompt and every engine

• The full AI answer, word for word
• Brand mentioned: yes or no
• Brand rank: first, second, third, or absent
• Domain cited: is your website one of the sources the AI links to
• Competitors named in the same answer
• Cited sources: every URL the AI used to build its answer

And across the whole run:

• Mention rate per engine (for example: named in 6 answers out of 10)
• Share of voice against the competitors you track
• Average rank when you are mentioned
• Change since your last run, stored automatically under your project name
• A webhook alert (n8n, Slack, Zapier, Make) when your mention rate falls by the number of points you choose

Who uses it

SEO and GEO agencies. One project per client, one weekly schedule, one table for the monthly report. Generative engine optimization (GEO) needs a baseline; this gives you one. It is also a five-minute audit: show any prospect that AI does not name them.

SaaS founders and marketing managers. Find out which competitors the AI recommends instead of you, and which review sites, blogs and listicles it quotes. Those pages are where you need to appear.

Consultants and freelancers. The easiest opening line you will ever have: "I asked ChatGPT about your market. Your name did not come up."

Anyone who needs raw answers. Use it as a ChatGPT and Perplexity search scraper: prompt in, answer and citations out, in JSON.

Don't know which prompts to test? Start with these five patterns

Replace the brackets. Write them the way your customer would type them.

1. best [product category] for [customer type]
2. top [competitor] alternatives
3. [your brand] vs [competitor]
4. how to choose a [product category]
5. is [your brand] worth it

Run 3 to 4 variations of each pattern. Twenty prompts give a measurement, one prompt gives an anecdote.

How to run it

1. Enter your prompts.
2. Enter your brand, your domain and the competitors your buyers compare you to.
3. Choose Perplexity, ChatGPT (with web search), or both.
4. Run it. Then schedule it weekly (Apify Schedules) with the same project name, so the history and the alerts build up.

Example input:

{
  "prompts": ["best CRM for small agencies", "top HubSpot alternatives"],
  "brand": "Pipedrive",
  "domain": "pipedrive.com",
  "competitors": ["HubSpot", "Salesforce", "Zoho"],
  "engines": ["perplexity", "openai"],
  "projectName": "pipedrive"
}

Field	What to enter
prompts	The questions your customers ask AI
brand	Your brand name
domain	Your website, for example example.com
competitors	Competitor names to compare against
engines	perplexity, openai, or both
projectName	Keeps the history between runs
webhookUrl	Optional. Receives an alert when visibility drops
alertDropPoints	Drop in mention rate that triggers the alert (default 10)

What the output looks like

One row per prompt and per engine:

{
  "engine": "perplexity",
  "prompt": "best CRM for small agencies",
  "brandMentioned": true,
  "brandRank": 2,
  "domainCited": true,
  "competitorsMentioned": ["HubSpot", "Zoho"],
  "answer": "...",
  "citations": ["https://..."]
}

A run summary is saved in the OUTPUT record: checks, mention rate, share of voice, domain cited rate and average rank per engine, with the change since the previous run.

---

What it costs

You pay per check. One check is one prompt sent to one engine. No subscription, no minimum.

Engine	Price per check
Perplexity	$0.03
ChatGPT (OpenAI, with web search)	$0.06

A full run of 20 prompts on both engines is 40 checks, $1.80. Run weekly, that is about $7.80 a month to know where you stand in AI answers.

Free Apify accounts are limited to 2 prompts per run. Paid accounts have no prompt limit.

Five rules for better results

1. Ask real questions. AI answers full sentences. Test with the sentences your customers type.
2. Use 10 to 20 prompts per topic. One answer is an anecdote. Twenty are a measurement.
3. Keep the same project name. Trends only appear when runs are compared.
4. Track the competitors your buyers compare you to, not only the ones you fear.
5. Read the citations. The sites an AI quotes are the sites you need to be listed on.

Questions

Which engines are supported? Perplexity and ChatGPT (OpenAI models with web search).

Do I need an API key? No. Run it from Apify and pay per check.

Will the same prompt always give the same answer? No. AI answers vary. That is why the Actor measures mention rate across several prompts and runs instead of one answer.

Something does not work? Open an issue on this page. Every issue gets an answer.

Run it once. Look at the first table. You will know something about your market that you did not know this morning.
