# AI Visibility Tracking

Check whether ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity name you when someone asks for what you sell — against live answers, not a guess — and what to change when they name a competitor instead.

## Ask it like this

- Am I recommended by ChatGPT for my category?
- Compare my AI visibility vs a competitor
- Get an action plan to improve AI mentions

## What you get

### Checked against live answers

The questions your buyers ask are put to ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity, and the answers are read for whether you appear at all.

### Who gets named instead

When a competitor is recommended and you are not, you get the competitor and the wording — which is the brief for fixing it.

### What to change

The sources those answers lean on, and what your site would have to say — and where — to become one of them.

## How it works

1. **Connect your website** — One workspace per site. It crawls what you have, learns what the business does, and — if you connect Google Search Console — starts from your own measured performance rather than from market averages.
2. **Ask for the job** — Pick the skill or let Auto route it, and describe what you want in a sentence. It buys the data it needs from DataForSEO and Ahrefs instead of estimating it, and reads the live results for the terms in question.
3. **Review, then decide** — The findings land in chat and are saved to the project, so the next question builds on them. Nothing reaches your site unless you approve it — the only thing that can publish is an article, to a CMS you connected.

## Where the data comes from

- Live checks against ChatGPT (OpenAI)
- Live checks against Google Gemini
- Live checks against Perplexity

## Frequently asked questions

### What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?

Generative Engine Optimization is being cited in AI-generated answers rather than ranked in a list of links. The mechanics overlap — authority, clear structure, quotable claims — but the outcome differs: an assistant names one or two sources instead of showing ten blue links, so the gap between first and third is much wider.

### How does it check whether I am mentioned?

By asking. The questions are put to the assistants live and the answers are read back, so the result reflects what those systems say today rather than what a static index believes about them.

### Why does a competitor get recommended and not me?

Usually because the sources those systems trust for the topic mention them and not you — comparison articles, listicles, forums, documentation. The report names the sources the answer leaned on, which is where the work is.

### Can AI visibility be improved deliberately?

To a degree, and not by trickery. What helps is being present and quotable in the places assistants read, stating claims plainly enough to be lifted, keeping structured data accurate, and letting AI crawlers reach the site at all.
