AI visibility

AI visibility helps you choose questions to track and see whether AI answers mention your brand, cite your website, or include competitors.

Set up your project

Add your website, then complete the setup shown on the AI visibility pages. Setup research fills in missing project context and suggests keywords. It keeps the context and competitors you already have. Suggesting keywords doesn't run paid prompt research for each one.

Research, explore and track

• Prompt research: analyse a keyword to find the questions people ask about it, with ChatGPT's answers and the sources it cited. Research covers US English. The questions come from DataForSEO's question data, built mostly from Google "People also ask" questions. They are not logged ChatGPT prompts, and Ranktide doesn't estimate how often people ask them in AI tools.
• Prompt explorer: try one prompt in ChatGPT, or add Claude, Gemini and Perplexity to compare answers and citations. These are model API answers and can differ from the answers on each engine's own site, which tracking collects.
• Prompt tracking: save exact questions under topics, choose engines and a market, then run a check or schedule daily, weekly or monthly checks. Editing a question's wording starts a new question, so earlier answers keep the wording they were collected for. ChatGPT and Gemini are selected by default. Google AI Overviews, Claude and Perplexity are also supported. Turning on tracking starts a first check.
• Competitors and citations: these tabs in prompt tracking show brand mentions, competitor appearances and cited pages. Competitors come from the project's context.

How mentions are counted

Your brand counts as mentioned when its name or domain appears in an answer, and as cited when the answer links to your site. The name comes from Brand name in the project's context, or from the project name when that's blank. A project still named "Default" goes by its domain, so acme.com and "Acme" both count. A new brand name applies from the next check.

A failed check is not evidence that your brand was absent.

The trend chart includes manual and scheduled checks, using the latest finished run each day. Reviewing and exporting saved results uses no credits.

Credits and cost

• Prompt research costs about 250 credits per keyword.
• Prompt explorer charges the actual cost of each new answer. Repeat answers come from cache.
• Tracking shows a cost estimate before you start a check or a schedule, and charges each check as it collects answers.

Per answer, on a subscription plan:

Tracking collects ChatGPT and Gemini answers from their own sites. Run now collects live answers, which usually arrive within a minute and cost more than scheduled checks. Claude and Perplexity have no site collection, so every check asks their model API at live API prices.

Checks stop when your credits run out. Prompt research and prompt explorer need a paid plan. Prompt tracking works on every plan, up to your plan's number of tracked prompts.
