AI visibility tracker: What ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Google's AI say about your brand.

This AI visibility tracker asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude and Grok the questions your buyers ask, each through its official API with live web search, reads Google's AI Overview for the same questions, and reports whether your brand is named or cited, which competitors are, and which websites the answers rely on, by country. Run it weekly to track your share of AI answers over time.

AI visibility tracker: questions

How is this different from the free AI visibility checker?

The free checker on this site asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude one question about your service and area. The tracker runs your whole question list across six engines and any country, keeps every answer and citation, and reports rates you can follow week to week.

Which models does it use?

The newest model in each company's main family at the time of the run: GPT for ChatGPT, Flash for Gemini, Sonnet for Claude, the newest Grok, and Sonar Pro Search for Perplexity. Every row records the exact model, and you can name another one in the settings.

Why is the AI usage billed separately?

Each answer is a real call to the provider's API with live web search. Apify bills that usage to your account at OpenRouter's rates, so you pay what the answer cost plus $0.10 for the analysis.

Can I track results over time?

Yes. Give the run a project name and schedule it weekly. Each run is compared with the last: mentions gained and lost per question and engine, citation-rate moves and new competitors.
