# AI Visibility Tracking: Monitor Brand Mentions in LLMs

> Track how your brand appears in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — including position, mention frequency, and competitor co-mentions.

AI search engines no longer just list links — they synthesize answers and cite sources directly. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about your category, your brand either appears in that answer or it doesn't. AI Visibility in Linkstonic gives you the data to know where you stand, how often you're mentioned, and what it takes to improve your position across the major large language models (LLMs).

## Platforms tracked

Linkstonic monitors your brand across four AI search platforms:

| Platform       | Description                                                                |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **ChatGPT**    | OpenAI's conversational model, used by hundreds of millions of users       |
| **Claude**     | Anthropic's assistant, increasingly used for research and business queries |
| **Gemini**     | Google's AI, deeply integrated with Search and Workspace                   |
| **Perplexity** | An AI-native search engine that cites sources directly in every answer     |

<Note>
  Starter plan users have access to ChatGPT and Gemini only. Pro and Agency plans include all four platforms.
</Note>

## What data is captured

For every keyword you track, Linkstonic captures the following data points from each AI platform's response:

| Data point                 | What it tells you                                                                       |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Position band**          | Whether your brand appears in the Top, Middle, or Bottom section of the AI's response   |
| **Mention count**          | How many times your brand is referenced in the response                                 |
| **Competitor co-mentions** | Which competitor brands appear in the same answer as yours                              |
| **Full response text**     | The complete AI-generated response, so you can read exactly how your brand is described |
