See who AI recommends instead of you — and on which engine

Your brand and the rivals you confirmed, counted on one shared denominator: who AI named, how often, and on which of the 8 engines you monitor. You also see the answers and cited sources behind each rival mention, and the prompts where they appear and you do not.

Competitor view: a "Share of AI mentions" bar chart with AEO Spotlight at 79.2% (19 mentions), Semrush 12.5% (3 mentions), Jasper 4.2% (1 mention) and Profound 4.2% (1 mention), above a "Named by platform" grid showing the same brands against GPT, Gemini and PPLX, where your row reads 71 with 20 mentions and Semrush reads 50 with 4 mentions.
Your share of the AI mentions in the answers you monitor, each confirmed rival beside it, and the engines where a rival is named and you are not.

What you get

Share of AI mentions — you against your rivals

Every answer you monitor, counted once per mention of your brand or one of your confirmed rivals. The percentage and the raw mention count sit side by side, so a 79% share built on 19 mentions never passes for a 79% share built on thousands.

Which engine names which rival

A grid of your brand and each confirmed rival against the engines you monitor: a mark where that name was cited, a dash where it was not, and a flag on the cells where a rival is named and you are absent.

What AI cites for them

Open a rival to read the answers that named them, with the prompt, the engine, the date and a link to the cited source. It is the same evidence you would want for your own pages, pointed at theirs.

New names arrive with evidence

Rivals that keep appearing in your answers are queued for review with the prompts, engines and excerpts that triggered them. A name joins your benchmark set only when you confirm it, and a name you dismiss is not suggested again.

See it in the product

A suggested rival, Brand24, in the review queue: 12 of your AI answers, last seen 4 days ago, then "Why we suggested this rival" listing a Perplexity sighting of the prompt "Is brand monitoring worth it", the matching answer excerpt, 10 sightings, position #3, and Confirm and Not a competitor buttons.
Every suggestion arrives with its receipts — engine, prompt and the sentence that named it — and waits for your confirm or dismiss.
Competitor panel for Semrush with a "Where they're mentioned" list: a Perplexity mention dated 21 Oct 2026 and a Gemini mention dated 24 Sep 2026, each with its answer excerpt and an Open source link, plus a Set alert action.
Open any rival to read the answers that named them and follow the link through to the source page.

Why you can trust the data

  • A suggested rival only enters your benchmark set when you confirm it. Until then it stays in the review queue with its prompts and excerpts attached.
  • The percentage counts only your brand and the rivals you confirmed, so a name you have not reviewed cannot inflate it — those are shown as a separate count.

Questions

Is this social listening or reputation management?

Neither. It records how AI answer engines describe your brand and your confirmed rivals in the answers you monitor. It does not read social posts, reviews or star ratings, and it is not a reputation score.

Can I control which competitors are tracked?

Yes. Suggestions arrive with their evidence and join only once you confirm them. Dismissals are remembered, and when your plan caps confirmed rivals the queue says so and offers a swap instead of blocking silently.

Which AI engines are covered?

Paid monitoring runs your prompts across 8 engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Grok, Claude and Microsoft Copilot.

Is share of AI mentions the same as market share?

No. It is the share of mentions naming your brand or a rival you confirmed, inside the answers you monitor. Names you have not reviewed yet sit outside that denominator and are disclosed separately.
