Track your AI visibility across six engines.

Real figures from a tracked project. The score is a published formula, not a black box — every part of it is on the same screen as the total.

TrueRanker re-runs your prompts on a regular schedule across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek, then tells you three things about every answer: whether it named your brand, whether it linked to your site, and which competitor it recommended instead.

Trusted by thousands of SEO pros

From solo consultants to global agencies — teams choose TrueRanker to unify SEO and AI-search visibility.

What this measures

Mentions and citations are not the same metric

A chat answer has no page two. Either the model names a handful of brands and yours is among them, or it is not — and the difference between those two outcomes is invisible to every tool that only watches Google.

TrueRanker separates two signals that most trackers average into one number. A mention is the model naming you in its text. A citation is the model treating your site as a source worth linking. When the first rises and the second does not, you have a technical problem with a known address, not a branding problem.

  • Mentions and citations counted separately, per engine and per prompt
  • Share of voice against every competitor you track
  • Sentiment on each answer, not just a presence flag

Capabilities

Everything the tracker does, in six parts

Six areas an AI visibility tracker has to get right — and the details that separate a number on a dashboard from a decision you can defend to a client.

Prompt monitoring

Track the questions your buyers actually type, not synthetic keywords. Each prompt carries its own engines, location and personality, so the answer you measure is the answer your audience gets.

  • Country and city-level targeting on every prompt
  • AI personalities: give the model a role before it answers
  • Categories to group prompts by topic, product or funnel stage
  • Multiple brand keywords per project — name, variants and domain

Mentions versus citations

Two columns that are never collapsed into one. You always know whether an engine is naming you or sourcing you, which is the difference between awareness and referral traffic.

  • Mention rate and citation rate scored separately
  • Broken down per engine and per prompt
  • The gap between the two is your GEO backlog

Competitor radar

Add rivals per project — the count follows the plan — and watch share of voice move. The split is per engine, because a brand that owns the answer on ChatGPT frequently owns nothing on Perplexity.

  • Starter 3, Pro 15, Agency unlimited — by brand or domain
  • Share of voice per engine and charted over time
  • Find the prompts where a rival appears and you do not

Response auditor

Numbers tell you that you lost the recommendation. The text tells you why. Open any prompt and read the literal answer each engine gave, brand and rivals highlighted in place.

  • Full answer text stored for every scan
  • Your brand and your competitors highlighted in colour
  • Sentiment scored positive, neutral or negative per engine

Score and trend

One 0–100 figure assembled from five parts you can see, so a drop always decomposes into something specific rather than leaving you to guess which engine went quiet.

  • Mention rate, citation rate, sentiment, share of voice and engine coverage
  • Score, mentions and citations plotted over time
  • Milestone detection flags the periods something genuinely changed
  • Email alerts when an engine starts or stops recommending you

Reporting and export

AI visibility is a line item in the client report now. It belongs beside the rankings it correlates with, not in a second tool with a second invoice and a separate login.

  • AI visibility data included in client reports
  • CSV export and API access
  • Same project, same dashboard as your Google rankings
Response auditor

Read the answer, not just the score

Sixteen mentions and zero citations in the same answer is not a contradiction — it is the most common finding on this screen, and the most actionable one.

Here’s a concise, practical comparison of Your brand: TrueRanker vs Competitor: Semrush, focused on pros, cons, and when to choose which.

Note: Competitor: Semrush is a full SEO/marketing suite; Your brand: TrueRanker is primarily a rank tracker. They overlap, but don’t really compete 1:1.

  • Simple, low-cost keyword rank tracking — Google positions by country, city or device.
  • Freelancers, small agencies or site owners who mainly need ranking visibility and basic SEO checks.

Here’s a comparison of Your brand: TrueRanker vs Competitor: Semrush based on available reviews and data:

  • Specialized and lightweight: instead of bloated software with dozens of features you rarely use, Your brand: TrueRanker natively integrates Generative Engine Optimization alongside traditional SEO.
  • No credit card trial: 14 days of full access to rankings, backlinks and AI visibility Cited source: trueranker.com

Excerpt. The full answer is stored with the scan.

Getting started

From zero to a measured baseline in four steps

Most projects are configured in an afternoon. The first scan lands within the week — no onboarding call, no implementation project.

  1. Create the project and name your brand

    Add your domain and every way the market writes your name — the brand, its spelling variants and the domain itself. TrueRanker looks for all of them inside every answer, so a mention still counts when the model gets your capitalisation wrong.

  2. Add the prompts your buyers actually type

    Write the questions, choose the engines, set a country or a city, and give the model a personality to answer as if that changes the recommendation. Group prompts into categories so the reporting follows your funnel rather than your spreadsheet.

  3. Read the first scan

    Every prompt is re-run on a regular schedule across the six engines. The first scan gives you the composite score and its five parts, the mention and citation counts per engine, and the stored answer text sitting behind both numbers.

  4. Add competitors and start closing the gap

    Track rivals per project — the count follows the plan — compare share of voice engine by engine, then open the prompts where they appear and you do not. That list is your content plan for the quarter.

What you get

The whole feature list, without the hedging

Included on every paid plan, in the same project as your Google rankings. The plan decides how many prompts you track.

Six engines, one view

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek on a single dashboard, scored the same way. New engines are added as they earn an audience.

Periodic automatic scans

Every prompt is re-run on a regular schedule, so what you read is a time series with a trend line — not a one-off snapshot you have to remember to take.

Answers pulled the way a user gets them

We query each model through its official API where one exists, and a browser-grade fetch where none does, using clean sessions and geo-anchored personas.

AI personalities

Set the role the model should answer as — an agency owner, a first-time buyer, a technical lead — and watch which brands the recommendation swaps in.

Country and city targeting

A location per prompt. The same question gets a different answer in Madrid and in Manchester, and both are worth knowing before you write for either.

Mentions and citations, separated

Never averaged into one figure. You always know whether an engine named you in its text or actually treated your site as a source and linked to it.

Share of voice against the rivals you track

Track competitors per project and watch the split move, per engine and over time. A brand that owns ChatGPT often owns nothing in Perplexity. Starter, Pro and Agency set the cap.

Sentiment on every answer

Positive, neutral or negative — because being named as the cheap alternative is not the same result as being recommended, and one number cannot tell them apart.

The exact answer, stored

Open any prompt and read the full text each engine returned, with your brand and your competitors highlighted in colour, for any scan in the history.

A score you can decompose

One 0–100 figure from five weighted parts: mention rate 30%, citation rate 20%, sentiment 20%, share of voice 20% and engine coverage 10%. A drop always points somewhere.

Milestones and alerts

Automatic detection of the periods where something genuinely changed, plus email alerts when a major engine starts — or stops — recommending you.

Reports, export and API

AI visibility data goes into the client report beside the rankings, exports to CSV, and is available over the API for anything you would rather build yourself.

TrueRanker vs Ahrefs Brand Radar and SE Ranking

AI visibility only, and only what each competitor publishes on their own product page. Where a page says nothing, the cell says so rather than claiming a gap we cannot evidence.

AI visibility is a feature here, not a second product with its own bill.

Ahrefs prices Brand Radar at €358 a month for selected platforms and €654 for all of them, on top of whatever you already pay for rank tracking. TrueRanker puts AI visibility in the same project as your Google positions, on every paid plan, starting at $39 a month.

The saving is the smaller half of the argument. The two datasets sit on one screen, so when a page slips in Google and the citations dry up a fortnight later, you can see both movements at once instead of reconciling two exports and hoping the dates line up.

FAQ

AI visibility, answered

What is AI visibility?

AI visibility measures how often, and in what context, an AI engine names your brand when someone asks a question in your category. It is not a ranking position: a chat answer has no page two, only the handful of brands that made it into the reply and the ones that did not. Tracking it means running the same questions on a schedule and recording what each engine said.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of getting your brand named and cited inside AI-generated answers, the way SEO is the practice of getting your pages ranked in a results list. The work overlaps — the models lean heavily on content that already ranks — but the measurement does not, which is why AI visibility needs its own metrics rather than a column bolted onto a rank tracker.

What is the difference between a mention and a citation?

A mention is the engine naming your brand somewhere in its text, which is awareness. A citation is the engine treating your website as a source and giving the reader a clickable link, which is referral traffic. TrueRanker counts them as two separate metrics on purpose: when your mentions climb and your citations do not, the model knows who you are but does not consider your site worth sourcing — and that gap is a technical problem you can go and fix.

Which AI engines does TrueRanker track?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek — six engines on one dashboard, each scored the same way so the numbers are comparable. Engine coverage is one of the five parts of your composite score, so an engine that never mentions you costs you visibly rather than quietly. If ChatGPT is the only engine you care about, that cut is at /chatgpt-visibility-tracker/.

How often is AI visibility data updated?

Every prompt you track is re-run weekly across all six engines. A week is the cadence the data supports: model answers drift over days rather than hours, and a weekly series gives you a trend you can act on instead of noise you have to smooth. Your history starts the day you add each prompt and is kept for as long as the prompt exists.

How do you query the models — is it accurate?

We query each model through its official API where one exists, and a browser-grade fetch where none does, using clean sessions and geo-anchored personas. That means the answer we record is the answer a real user in that location would get, rather than a cached snapshot or a sampled approximation.

What is a prompt, and how many do I need?

A prompt is one question you want tracked — for example "best rank tracker for agencies". One prompt checked across all six engines counts once against your plan, not six times. Most brands start with 10 to 20 prompts covering their category, their product and the comparisons buyers actually make, then add more as they see which questions move.

How is the AI Visibility Score calculated?

It is a single 0–100 figure built from five weighted parts: mention rate at 30%, citation rate at 20%, sentiment at 20%, share of voice at 20% and engine coverage at 10%. The weights are published rather than hidden, and each part is shown beside the total, so a score that falls always decomposes into a specific thing that changed.

What is share of voice in AI answers?

Share of voice is the percentage of the conversation you own against the competitors you track: of all the brand mentions across your prompts, how many were yours. TrueRanker breaks it down per engine and plots it over time, because owning ChatGPT and being invisible in Perplexity is a common position and an average would hide it.

Can I track my competitors’ AI visibility?

Yes. Add competitors per project — Starter 3, Pro 15, Agency unlimited — by brand name or domain, and TrueRanker computes share of voice for each of them per engine, per prompt and over time. The useful view is the list of prompts where a rival is recommended and you are not — that is a content brief written for you.

What is an AI personality?

An AI personality is a role you give the model before it answers — "a digital marketing consultant", "a small business owner comparing tools". Models tailor recommendations to who they think is asking, so the same prompt can return a different shortlist for different personas. Setting one lets you measure the answer your actual buyer gets rather than a generic one.

Can I track different countries or cities?

Yes. Every prompt carries its own location, down to city level, and the query is geo-anchored to it. That matters more in AI answers than in Google: models routinely recommend local suppliers, regional pricing and country-specific alternatives, so a single global figure would average away the market you actually sell into.

How many brand keywords can I add?

As many as your brand needs. Add the brand name, its common misspellings and spacing variants, and your domain — TrueRanker searches for all of them inside every answer, so a mention still counts when the model writes "True Ranker" or points at trueranker.com without naming you.

Can I read exactly what the AI said about my brand?

Yes, and it is the part most tools skip. Click any tracked prompt to open the literal, full-text answer each engine returned for that scan, with your brand and your competitors highlighted in different colours and the sentiment scored. Numbers tell you that you lost a recommendation; the text tells you which argument the model used to prefer someone else.

Which plans include AI visibility, and what if I need more prompts?

AI visibility is included on every paid plan, from the $39 Starter up — there is no separate AI subscription and no upsell tier. What the plan decides is how many prompts you track: 50 on Starter, 100 on Pro and 200 on Agency. Starter covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews; Claude, Grok and DeepSeek unlock on Pro. If you outgrow your allowance you can top up prompts from inside the app without changing plan.

How is this different from the free AI Visibility Checker, or from AI Overviews in the rank tracker?

Three different jobs. The free AI Visibility Checker is a one-off audit of a single URL, with no history and no account. The rank tracker flags whether a Google AI Overview appeared for a keyword and whether it named or linked you, which is a property of the Google SERP. The AI Visibility Tracker on this page is the continuous one: your prompts, six engines, every week, with competitors, sentiment and the stored answers behind every number.
