"When buyers ask ChatGPT for recommendations, we're not the answer."
AI visibility monitoring tracks whether and how your brand appears in AI-generated answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini — for the queries your buyers actually ask. iWeb Data Scraping measures your mention share versus competitors, the sentiment of those mentions, and which sources the AI cites, so marketing teams can optimize for AI search the way they once optimized for page one of Google. As buyers increasingly ask AI for recommendations, being absent from the answer is the new being on page two.
Search is splitting in two. Alongside the classic results page, buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews for recommendations — and get a synthesized answer that names a few brands and cites a few sources. If yours isn't among them, you're invisible at the exact moment of consideration, and traditional rank tracking won't tell you.
AI visibility monitoring measures your presence inside those answers: for the queries your buyers ask, are you mentioned, how favorably, and which sources did the AI draw on? We track mention share against competitors and identify the citable sources shaping the answer — pairing naturally with our SERP data (which captures the AI Overview box directly). This is the newest solution in our lineup because the behavior is new — and we're an AI-data company measuring it, not a legacy SEO tool bolting it on.
The gap isn’t knowing this matters — it’s seeing it in time to act. That’s what the feed is for.
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini — the AI surfaces buyers actually use, tracked together.
Are you named, and how often versus competitors, for each buyer query — share of the AI answer.
Not just whether you appear, but how — favorable, neutral or cautionary framing.
Which pages and domains the AI drew on — the sources you need to influence to change the answer.
Tracking built around the questions your buyers ask, from awareness to comparison to purchase.
How your AI visibility shifts as you (and rivals) publish — the feedback loop for AI-search optimization.

It tracks whether and how your brand appears in AI-generated answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini — for the queries your buyers ask. It measures your mention share versus competitors, the sentiment of those mentions, and which sources the AI cites, giving marketing teams a way to measure and improve presence in AI search.
Because buyers increasingly ask AI for recommendations instead of scrolling search results, and the AI names only a few brands. If you're not among them, you're invisible at the point of consideration — the AI-era equivalent of being on page two. Traditional rank tracking can't see this, which is why it needs its own measurement.
By tracking the sources the AI cites, you learn which pages and domains shape the answer — then you influence those (your own content, reviews, third-party coverage, structured data). We measure mention share and citations over time so you can see whether your AI-search efforts are moving the answer.
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini as standard — the AI surfaces buyers actually use — with others added on request as the landscape evolves. Because we're an AI-data company, we track these directly rather than treating AI search as an afterthought to classic SEO tooling.
