AI Visibility Tracking

Track how your brand appears across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity. Measure AI visibility scores, compare competitors, and monitor sentiment in AI-generated responses.

A Next-Generation Visibility Module for the AI Era

Traditional SEO measures visibility on Google. But in a world where users now ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for recommendations, your brand’s presence in AI-generated answers is just as critical as your Google ranking. When a user asks “What is the best uptime monitoring tool?”, which brands does AI recommend? Is your brand on the list? What position? What tone?

LLM Visibility Tracking is ShubHQ’s next-generation visibility module that sends your query to five major AI platforms in parallel, extracts brand and tool rankings from the responses, performs sentiment analysis, and produces a Visibility Score. It brings the discipline of search rank tracking into the world of AI-generated answers.

The module operates as a live measurement system for AI-era brand positioning: not just “does AI know about you?” but “how does AI talk about you, where does it place you, and how does that compare to your competitors?”


Page Structure

LLM Visibility TrackingPage title.
DescriptionTrack your brand’s position, ranking, and competitor comparison across AI assistants from a single panel.

How to Write Effective Prompts

Ready-made prompt templates are provided that reflect how real users ask AI.

Replace [your category] with your category (e.g. uptime monitoring, SEO tool, CRM software, project management).

Modules

1. Top Score Cards

Four main metric cards displayed after a query.

Visibility Score

A single metric from 0 to 100 summarizing your brand’s overall visibility across the AI ecosystem.

ElementDescription
Half-circle gradient gaugeVisual indicator with red (weak), orange (moderate), green (strong) scale.
Descriptive texte.g. “5/5 platforms mention your brand.”

This score is a weighted combination of mention rate, ranking position, sentiment, and platform diversity.

Average Position

Your brand’s average ranking across all LLMs (e.g. #11.8 of 15 items).

ElementDescription
Half-circle gaugeVisual indicator with #1 (best), #8 (mid), #15 (worst) reference points.
Per-platform badgesGPT #14, Cla #10, Gem #9, Grk #12, Per #14.

This card answers not just “was I mentioned?” but “what position was I mentioned at?” Since users typically only read the first 3-5 recommendations, position is critically important.

Mention Rate

The percentage of queried LLMs where your brand appeared (e.g. 100%, 5 of 5 LLMs).

Sentiment

The tone in which AI responses mention your brand:

SentimentDescription
PositiveRecommending tone.
NeutralObjective description tone (may also show as Mixed).
NegativeCritical or unfavorable tone.

2. Brands & Tools Mentioned by AI

A unified ranking of all brands and tools appearing in LLM responses.

Header Band:

ElementDescription

Per-platform position labelsChatGPT #14, Claude #10, Gemini #9, Grok #12, Perplexity #14.
Avg. PositionOverall average position.

Ranked List:

All brands and tools from all responses, ranked by mention frequency.

Each row includes:

FieldDescription
Rank number1, 2, 3…
Brand nameWith short AI description (e.g. “Ubersuggest, A budget-friendly SEO tool”).
Platform dotsColored indicators showing which platforms mentioned the brand (green: ChatGPT, brown: Claude, blue: Gemini, orange: Grok, light blue: Perplexity).
Visibility barPercentage bar (e.g. 40%, 20%).

This module directly reveals competitor visibility. Which brands does AI recommend before you? Which ones share your position? Which ones consistently appear in the top three?

3. Results by Platform

A panel showing each LLM’s response individually in detail.

Each platform opens as a separate card:

ElementDescription

Mentioned #X labelYour brand’s position in that response.
Sentiment labelPositive, neutral, or negative.
Top recommendationsThe first few suggestions from that platform’s response.

This view lets you compare how different AI platforms answer the same question differently. One platform may place you at #3 while another puts you at #14; that gap reveals strategic insights.

Why AI Visibility Matters

Modern users no longer just ask Google before making purchase decisions, they also ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Questions like “Which CRM should I choose?” or “What is the best uptime monitoring tool?” are now directed straight to AI for recommendations.

Three consequences of this new behavior:

#Consequence
1Appearing in AI answers is as critical as being on Google’s first page. If AI doesn’t recommend a brand, users typically never discover it.
2AI answers are not a single ranking, they’re an aggregation. They draw from many sources. Gaining AI visibility depends not just on SEO, but on the entire ecosystem of brand, content, PR, and mentions.
3AI answers change over time. Every model update and training data revision reshapes rankings. Regular monitoring is therefore critically important.

LLM Visibility Tracking provides the tracking and measurement layer for this new world.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Mimic real user questions. Start with standard queries like “Best X tool” and expand with niche variations.
  • Re-send the same prompt weekly. AI answers change over time; continuity is essential for trend tracking.
  • Try queries in different languages. Turkish, English, and German can produce different answers to the same prompt.
  • Don’t ignore geographic differences. Answers from a US perspective can differ greatly from a Turkey perspective.
  • Monitor sentiment. Even if position is high, a brand mentioned with negative tone is at risk.
  • Run competitor comparisons. Don’t just look at your own rank, check competitor rankings too.
  • Test comparison queries. See how AI attributes value in “X vs Y” questions.
  • Convert results into content decisions. If AI doesn’t list you, publishing a comprehensive comparison piece for that category can make a difference.
  • Review historical trend charts regularly. “I was at position 15 three months ago, now I’m at position 8” is proof your marketing strategy is working.
