# AI Visibility Tracker

> How the application measures brand visibility across AI search engines and LLM answers.

AI Visibility Tracker measures how often — and how favourably — a brand appears in
answers produced by AI assistants and AI search surfaces. Instead of tracking blue-link
rankings, it runs a curated set of prompts against several LLM providers on a schedule,
detects brand and competitor mentions in the answers, and turns those detections into
visibility, sentiment and competitor benchmarks.

## What the app does

  <Card title="Prompt tracking" icon="message-question" href="/architecture/visibility-pipeline">
    Runs each campaign's active prompts against OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok
    and Google AI Overview / AI Mode, then records where the brand was mentioned.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Visibility scoring" icon="chart-line" href="/architecture/visibility-pipeline">
    Weighs mentions per provider into an industry visibility score, with rank degradation
    and a penalty for domains that are not direct competitors.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Brand sentiment" icon="face-smile" href="/architecture/overview">
    Selects topics, retrieves per-topic answers, and scores the sentiment of each brand
    mention.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Traffic correlation" icon="arrow-trend-up" href="/configuration/integrations">
    Pulls GA4, Search Console and Bing Webmaster data so AI visibility can be compared
    against real organic traffic.
