AI Brand Monitoring Mentions in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity: AI Search Visibility Tools

AI brand monitoring for mentions in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity is an AI search visibility job. Comms may already pay for listening. That stays. It will not store yesterday's assistant answer. The mention log we add is Promptwatch. Paid plans include those three engines (plus Claude and Overviews) from Essential at $95/mo. Explore is ChatGPT only. That free SKU does not close this brief. We will not demo it as Gemini coverage.

ChatGPT has 820M+ weekly active users. Gemini has 650M+ monthly. Perplexity has 22M+ monthly. Skipping one is skipping a room. A ChatGPT-only starter plan looks complete on a slide and still misses two engines buyers use.

Mention vs citation on a retainer

Named in the prose versus a URL. Brand teams want the name. Buyers click citations. Perplexity footnotes more often. We ticket the URL. Aliases on day one. We will not mix Meltwater counts with Promptwatch counts.

Otterly from $29 includes ChatGPT and Perplexity. Gemini is an add-on ($9 to $149 by tier). Lag up to seven days. The $29 headline is incomplete once Gemini is in the SOW.

Peec from $95 includes three models. Extra models cost $35 to $165. Claude is Enterprise. All three engines can fit if they pick them. A fourth moves the bill.

Profound Starter is ChatGPT only ($99 annual). Ahrefs Brand Radar is a modeled index. Semrush Toolkit is modeled prompts. We keep the suites for Google. We do not read them as a three-engine mention report.

What we load

25 to 50 buyer prompts that are not keyword copies. Daily UI checks. Citation analytics (page, domain, Reddit, YouTube). Crawler logs if the bot never fetched the page. Visitor analytics when the SOW includes sessions.

Kick-off at $199 if we hold more than one brand. How to get cited by ChatGPT after a miss.

If they already have Brandwatch, that stays. Different pipe. Do not merge. If they already have Otterly, we label it weekly-ish and stop using it as the three-engine number.

We run the same 20 prompts by hand once so we know what good looks like. Then we load that wording into Essential. ChatGPT can name you while Gemini cites a competitor. Two tickets.

If the bot never fetched the candidate page, we do not commission copy yet. That is an Agent Analytics ticket, then a robots or CDN ticket. Allow OAI-SearchBot if ChatGPT Search is in scope. GPTBot is training. Different line.

Professional is $245/mo when we need a larger crawler-log cap. We do not open that plan just to get the three engines. Essential already has them.
