Meta AI Brand Visibility Tracker: Mentions & Cited Sources

Find out whether Meta AI recommends your brand when people ask the questions your customers ask. Give your brand, your competitors and a list of questions. For each question you get which brands the answer names, in what order, and which websites it cites, plus your share of answers across the whole run.

• Built for Meta AI. Answers come from Muse Spark, the model behind Meta AI, with live web search switched on.
• Brand analysis, not just text. Mentions, position, competitors named, cited websites and a run summary.
• Spot competitors you did not list. Every product or name the answer puts in bold is reported too.
• Any language. Ask in the language your customers use.
• Pay per answer. No subscription, and nothing charged for questions that fail.

How to use

1. Enter your brand and, if needed, other spellings of it.
2. List the competitors you want to compare against.
3. Write the questions a customer would ask, one per line, such as "What are the best running shoes for flat feet?".
4. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output tab for the answers and the summary.

Live answers need a paid Apify plan. On the free plan, the Actor returns clearly labelled sample rows so you can see the exact output format.

Pricing

$0.05 per answer. A run with 20 questions costs $1.00. Asking each question 3 times costs $3.00.

Questions that fail are not charged. Set the run's maximum charge to cap spending: the Actor stops before exceeding it.

Use cases

• Check whether Meta AI recommends you, a competitor, or nobody you know.
• Track your share of answers over time by scheduling the same questions weekly.
• See which websites Meta AI relies on in your market, to know where a mention would count.
• Add Meta AI to the assistants you already monitor.

FAQ

How do I check if Meta AI mentions my brand?

Enter your brand and the questions your customers ask, then start the run. brandMentioned tells you for each question, and the summary gives your share across all of them.

Are these the same answers people see in the Meta AI app?

They come from the same model family, Muse Spark, reached through Meta's official developer interface with web search on. They are not guaranteed to be identical to what a given person sees in the app: the app can personalise answers, and any AI answer varies from one time to the next. Treat the results as a measurement of how the model tends to answer, not as a copy of one person's screen.

Why do answers change between runs?

AI assistants do not give the same answer twice. Set Times to ask each question to 3 or more for a steadier share figure.

How are brands detected?

By looking for each name you provide as a whole word, ignoring upper and lower case. Add alternative spellings under Other spellings of your brand. Very short or common names, such as "On" or "Apple", can match ordinary words; check brandsMentioned against the answer text for those.

Can I ask questions for a specific country?

Yes. Set Location of the person asking to a country or city, and write the questions in that market's language.

Does it work on the free Apify plan?

The free plan returns sample rows only. Every live answer is bought from Meta, so live data is available on paid Apify plans.

Can I use it from my own code, Make, Zapier or n8n?

Yes. Call it through the Apify API (see below), or connect it with Apify's integrations for Make, Zapier and n8n.

What happens to my questions?

They are sent to Meta's model to be answered, without being stored there for later reuse by this Actor. Results are stored only in your own Apify account.

Limits

• Tracks the brands you list. Other names appear only in highlightedTerms.
• The model decides for each question whether to search the web, so some answers have no cited sources.
• Answers are kept short (about 250 words) and each question is limited to two search steps, to keep the price low.
• Up to 100 questions and 5 repetitions per run.
• Not available in the territories where Meta restricts its developer services.

This Actor is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta.
