AI glossary · AI visibility tracker

An AI visibility tracker is a prompt tracking tool: it keeps asking AI systems a fixed set of questions and tracks whether and how a brand is mentioned in the answers. According to its own description, SISTRIX covers ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, among others, and the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit evaluates mentions, sentiment and share of voice. Such tools do not replace your own question set or a check of whether what they report about you is correct.

In brief
  • A tracker asks the same questions repeatedly and makes changes over time visible.
  • You decide which questions are tracked, and your brand name does not belong in them.
  • A tracker does not check for you whether the statements about your company are true.

What an AI visibility tracker takes off your hands

AI answers vary, and the same question can name entirely different providers next time, so a single answer is largely a matter of chance. A tracker does the repeated asking for you and collects enough answers for a direction to emerge. You may also see these tools searched for as ChatGPT SEO trackers.

Limits

Where an AI visibility tracker reaches its limits

The tool is only as good as the questions you give it. In a chat, people write full sentences, mention budget, region or requirements and ask in the first person, and the tracked questions should sound just like that. If your brand name is in the question, the tracker only measures what the AI knows about you, not whether it comes up with you on its own.

With OpenAI, for instance, web search has to be added explicitly in an API request, which is why every figure should state how it was measured.

Reading

How to read the figures from your tracker correctly

Read the mention rate separately per topic and per AI system, because a brand can be recommended regularly in one system and not appear at all in the next. And keep questions and settings the same over time, otherwise you end up comparing apples with oranges.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Which tools show whether my company appears in ChatGPT?

Prompt tracking tools do. According to their providers, they follow selected questions over time and show whether and how a brand is mentioned. They do not replace your question set or a check of whether the statements about you are correct.

How do I track ChatGPT SEO in DACH?

The same way as anywhere else: a fixed set of realistic questions in the language your customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland actually use, asked repeatedly, and recorded with date, model and language so the run can be repeated later.
