What it is

What is an AI visibility tracker?

An AI visibility tracker runs the questions your buyers ask, such as "best CRM for a 20-person sales team", through AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. It records whether your brand is named, how it is described, which pages are cited and which competitors appear instead.

A Google ranking tells you where a page sits in a list of links. AI answers have no fixed list: an engine names you or it doesn't, and the answer changes from one run to the next. So an AI visibility tracker measures how often you appear across many runs, not a single position.

GetCited runs each tracked question on a schedule across up to 10 engines, repeats runs so a real change can be told apart from noise, and turns every gap into a task with the fix attached.

Buyer's checklist

How to choose an AI visibility tracker.

Six questions that separate a tracker you'll keep from a dashboard you'll ignore. For named tools side by side, see our best AI visibility trackers comparison.

Which engines, on which plan?Check the engines on the plan you would buy, not the top tier in the screenshots.GetCited: up to 10 engines, depending on plan.
How often does it run?AI answers drift. Daily runs catch changes a weekly check misses.GetCited: daily.
Does it repeat runs?One answer proves little. Rates across repeated runs, with a range, are what you can trust.GetCited: repeat runs with confidence ranges.
Does it show the cited sources?The page AI cites is what you act on, yours or a competitor's.GetCited: cited pages and domains per answer.
Does it compare competitors?You need the questions where a competitor is named and you are not.GetCited: competitor benchmarking and prompt gaps.
What happens after a gap?A chart nobody acts on is a cost. Gaps should become tasks with a fix and a before-and-after.GetCited: gaps route to tasks; fixes get a before-and-after.
Plans

What changes by plan.

Every plan tracks daily and includes sources and tone intelligence. Plans differ by how many buyer questions you track, how many AI engines run them, how many competitors you compare and how often the site is audited. Full details on pricing.

Unavailable answerThe answer could not be checked reliably.Keep failures and missing evidence separate from measured absence.
Getting started

How to set up AI visibility tracking in 5 steps.

1. Build a prompt set of 30 to 100 real buyer questions: category questions, comparison questions and a small set that names your brand. Tag each one branded or non-branded.

2. Choose the AI engines your buyers use and the competitors you want to compare against.

3. Run every question repeatedly on each engine. Answers change between runs, so read rates across runs, not a single answer.

4. Report branded and non-branded questions separately, with eligible-answer counts and missingness for each cohort.

5. Act on the gaps: fix the pages, reviews and third-party sources AI reads for the questions where competitors are named and you are not, then re-check the same questions.

Questions

Common questions

What is an AI visibility tracker?
An AI visibility tracker runs the questions your buyers ask through AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and records whether your brand is named, how it is described, which pages are cited and which competitors appear instead. Because AI answers change from run to run, it measures rates across repeated runs rather than a single position.
Which AI engines do you track?
ChatGPT, ChatGPT Search, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Grok. The number of engines depends on your plan; see pricing for details.
What's the best AI visibility tracker?
It depends on what you need: which engines are covered, how often questions run, whether you see the pages AI cites, and whether gaps turn into fixes. Our comparison of the best AI visibility trackers sets GetCited side by side with the main alternatives.
Is there a free AI visibility tracker?
The free AEO checker scores how ready your site is for AI engines, and the free diagnostic shows where AI leaves you out today. Ongoing daily tracking starts at $99 a month.
Is an AI visibility tracker the same as an AI mention tracker?
Mostly. An AI mention tracker records when AI names your brand. An AI visibility tracker also records the pages AI cites, how it describes you, where you sit in the answer and which competitors it names instead.
How accurate is an AI visibility tracker?
AI answers change from one run to the next, so a single check can mislead. A reliable tracker repeats each question, reports rates across runs rather than one result, and shows a range so you can tell a real change from noise. GetCited repeats runs and shows confidence ranges for this reason.
Can I track AI visibility in more than one country?
Yes. Prompts can be tied to a country or location, so you can compare how AI answers the same buyer question in different markets.
How much does an AI visibility tracker cost?
GetCited's self-serve plans run from $99 a month (25 tracked prompts on 3 AI engines) to $2,999 a month (1,000 prompts on 10 engines). Plans differ by tracked prompts, AI engines, competitors and audit frequency. See pricing.
Which AI engines link to a brand's own website most?
There is no universal rate to apply across methods. Compare the same questions and observation period, show eligible counts, and distinguish attributed links from brand mentions.
Should branded and non-branded prompts be tracked separately?
Yes. Branded questions supply the brand name; neutral questions do not. Keep those cohorts separate and show their eligible counts and unavailable answers.
How often is data collected?
Daily, automatically, across your tracked buyer questions.
How quickly can I start?
Add your buyer questions and the first run completes within 24 hours.
Can I track competitors?
Yes. Add competitors and compare presence by engine, topic and question, then turn gaps into briefs.
Can agencies track several brands?
Yes. Agencies see every client's visibility, recent changes and top gaps from one portfolio view, and each client keeps its own prompts, competitors and reports.
Can I export the data?
Yes. API access, webhooks and exports let you feed visibility data into your own reporting.
