Tool guide: AI visibility

Track how AI talks about your brand, with Semrush

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews now answer the questions your buyers used to type into Google. Semrush’s AI Visibility Toolkit shows whether those answers mention you, how they describe you, and who they name instead.

  • Tracks answers from
  • ChatGPT
  • Gemini
  • Perplexity
  • Google AI Overviews
  • Google AI Mode

The short answer: The AI Visibility Toolkit is part of Semrush One, which combines Semrush’s SEO and AI visibility tools in one subscription. It tracks how your brand appears across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode. New accounts can try Semrush One free for 7 days.

Six parts, three questions

What the AI Visibility Toolkit tracks

Together, the six parts answer three questions: are you in the answer, how are you described, and who is named instead.

  • Visibility Overview

    Benchmarks your overall presence in AI answers with an AI Visibility Score.

  • Competitor Research

    Compares your AI visibility with the competitors you choose.

  • Prompt Research

    Finds the questions people ask AI in your category. Think keyword research, for AI.

  • Brand Performance

    Shows your share of voice and the sentiment of how AI describes your brand.

  • Prompt Tracking

    Checks your visibility daily for the prompts that matter most to your business.

  • AI Search Site Audit

    Flags technical issues that stop AI crawlers from reading your site.

Platform coverage varies by report. AI analysis reports cover Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and ChatGPT. Brand Performance covers Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.

Once a month

A simple monthly routine

A tool is only useful if you look at the same things every month. Here is a routine that fits the toolkit.

  1. 1

    Start with your buyers’ questions

    Use Prompt Research to find what people ask AI in your category, and add the prompts that match what you sell to Prompt Tracking.

  2. 2

    Check whether you’re in the answer

    Visibility Overview and Competitor Research show how often you appear, and which competitors AI names instead.

  3. 3

    Read how AI describes you

    A mention only helps if the description is right. Use Brand Performance to see sentiment, then read the answers themselves. Here’s why the description matters more than the count.

  4. 4

    Fix what blocks AI crawlers

    Run the AI Search Site Audit and fix the issues that stop AI systems from reading your pages. Then check that your site structure is clear: here is how.

  5. 5

    Re-check every month

    AI answers change as models update and new content is published. Compare the same prompts month to month and look for the trend, not a single result. How to measure AI visibility when answers keep shifting.

Worth knowing

What to know before you buy

  • It measures, it doesn’t fix. The toolkit shows where you stand. Changing what AI says still takes work on your website, your content and the sources that mention you.

  • AI answers vary. The same prompt can return different answers between runs and between tools, so judge trends over weeks, not single results.

  • Prompt limits depend on your plan. Semrush One’s Starter, Pro+ and Advanced plans track 50, 100 or 200 prompts. Start with the prompts closest to what you sell.

  • The standalone toolkit has no free trial. If you want to test AI visibility tracking before paying, the Semrush One trial is the way in.
