Linkstonic connects to all four major AI answer engines so you can see exactly how your brand appears across the full AI search landscape. As more users turn to AI assistants instead of traditional search, your visibility in these platforms matters as much as your Google rankings. Linkstonic handles the connections on your behalf — you don’t need to configure any API keys or third-party accounts to get started.

Platforms tracked

ChatGPT (OpenAI GPT-4o)

The most widely used AI assistant globally. Tracking your brand in ChatGPT shows how you appear when millions of users ask questions in the world’s most popular AI chat interface.

Claude (Anthropic)

Popular with developers, researchers, and knowledge workers. Claude is known for thorough, nuanced answers, making it a high-intent surface for brand mentions in technical or research contexts.

Gemini (Google)

Google’s AI assistant is deeply integrated with Google Search. Visibility in Gemini overlaps with traditional search ranking signals, making it a critical platform for any brand focused on search presence.

Perplexity

A citation-heavy answer engine that links directly to sources. Being cited by Perplexity carries high trust with its users — a mention here often means your content is being treated as authoritative.

How tracking works

For each brand you create in Linkstonic, you define a set of keywords. Linkstonic queries each AI platform with those keywords on a regular basis and captures:
  • Mention counts — how often your brand appears in responses
  • Position bands — roughly where in the response your brand is mentioned (early, mid, or late)
  • Competitor co-mentions — which competing brands appear alongside yours in the same responses
  • Full response text — the complete AI-generated answer, so you can read exactly what each platform says
No API keys are required from you. Linkstonic uses managed integrations with each platform and handles authentication on your behalf.

Getting started

AI platform tracking requires no connection steps. Once you create a brand and add keywords, Linkstonic begins querying the AI platforms included in your plan automatically. Your first results typically appear within the first tracking cycle after your keywords are saved.
