AI Visibility Tracker: is your brand mentioned and cited in AI search?

AI Visibility Tracker is an Apify Actor that shows whether AI search engines mention and cite your brand. For each prompt it asks Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Claude the way a customer would. It records whether your brand is named, its position against competitors, how it's described, which sites are cited, every other brand named and what changed since the last run, at $0.05 per answer plus $0.50 for an optional client-ready report.

Run it on Apify $0.05 per answer checked ($0.04 on Gold) + $0.50 per optional report

Quick facts

• Engines: Google AI Overviews (late-loading overviews read in a real browser), Gemini with Google Search grounding, and Claude with web search, localised to your country.
• Per answer: whether your brand is named and its position among tracked brands, whether your site is cited and at what position, competitors named or cited, sentiment with a one-line summary, every brand named, and the cited URLs.
• Hidden competitors: every company or product named in the answers is counted, including ones you don't track.
• Weekly tracking: each run is compared with the last, with mentions and citations gained or lost per prompt and engine, and a client-ready HTML report.
• Price: $0.05 per answer checked ($0.045 Silver, $0.04 Gold and above) plus $0.50 per optional report; answers that couldn't be checked are free. 20 prompts on 3 engines weekly costs about $14 a month.
