Track Your Brand Across ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity: A Complete Guide

Why Monitor Your Brand Across AI Platforms?

If you’re not tracking how AI platforms represent your brand, you’re flying blind in 2025’s most important marketing channel. Here’s everything you need to know about monitoring your AI visibility.

The Challenge: Fragmented AI Landscape

Unlike Google where you can check your rankings in one place, AI platforms are fragmented:

• ChatGPT (OpenAI) - 200M+ weekly active users
• Google Gemini - Integrated into Search, Gmail, Drive
• Perplexity AI - 10M+ monthly active users
• Claude (Anthropic) - Enterprise and consumer users
• Microsoft Copilot - Built into Windows, Office, Edge
• Meta AI - Integrated into Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp
• Bing Chat - Microsoft’s AI search assistant
• You.com - AI-powered search engine
• Character.AI - Conversational AI platform
• Others - New platforms launching constantly

Each platform has its own algorithms, data sources, and recommendation patterns. You need to monitor all of them.

What to Track

1. Brand Mentions

Are you being mentioned at all? Track:

• Frequency: How often your brand appears in responses
• Context: What queries trigger your brand mention
• Positioning: Are you mentioned first, middle, or last?
• Category association: What categories is your brand associated with?

Example query to test:

“What are the best [your category] tools for [your target audience]?“

2. Ranking Position

When AI platforms recommend multiple options, where do you rank?

• First position: Highest visibility and click-through
• Top 3: Still visible and competitive
• Beyond top 5: Low visibility, needs improvement

Pro tip: Position matters enormously. The first-mentioned brand gets 3-5x more consideration than brands mentioned later.

3. Sentiment Analysis

What tone does AI use when describing your brand?

• Positive: “Leading,” “innovative,” “highly-rated,” “trusted”
• Neutral: “Offers,” “provides,” “includes”
• Negative: “Limited,” “lacks,” “struggles with”

Sentiment impacts user perception immediately.

4. Feature Mentions

Which of your product features are highlighted?

• Are your key differentiators mentioned?
• Are outdated features still being cited?
• Are competitors’ features highlighted more prominently?

5. Competitor Comparisons

How do you stack up against competitors?

• Who else is mentioned alongside your brand?
• Are you positioned as premium, budget, or mid-tier?
• What are the stated advantages of competitors?

How to Track Manually (The Hard Way)

Step 1: Create a Query Library

Develop 20-50 queries relevant to your brand:

Direct queries:

• “What is [your brand name]?”
• “Tell me about [your brand name]”
• “Is [your brand name] good?”

Category queries:

• “Best [your category] tools”
• “Top [your category] for [use case]”
• “Compare [your category] platforms”

Competitor queries:

• “Compare [your brand] vs [competitor]”
• “[Competitor] alternatives”
• “Better than [competitor]”

Use case queries:

• “How to [solve problem] for [target audience]”
• “Tools for [specific use case]”
• “Software for [job role] to [achieve goal]“

Step 2: Test Across Platforms

For each query, manually test across all platforms:

1. Open ChatGPT → Ask query → Record response
2. Open Gemini → Ask same query → Record response
3. Open Perplexity → Ask same query → Record response
4. Repeat for all platforms
5. Document results in spreadsheet

Time investment: 30-60 minutes per query across 8 platforms = 10-50 hours/week for comprehensive monitoring.

Step 3: Analyze and Compare

Create a comparison matrix:

Problem: This is incredibly time-consuming, error-prone, and not scalable.
