Track your brand in Google AI answers
See whether Google’s AI answers mention or cite your brand when buyers ask ten important questions, and which competitors appear instead.
You get A prompt-by-prompt scorecard of your mentions, cited pages, competing brands and answer state.

From one instruction to a useful result
10 prompts on two Google AI surfaces; 20 attempts including any retries
- Step 1$0.00
Lock the prompts
Your agent, 0 calls
Use ten buyer questions and fixed locale, device, own domain and competitor domains; preserve the prompt text for the next baseline.
- Step 2$0.0015
Ask AI Overview
GET /api/google/ai-overview, 10 calls
Attempt each prompt once. A non-retryable 404 not_found means Google served no overview and is refunded; match brand names in returned text separately from citation hosts.
- Step 3$0.0015
Ask AI Mode
GET /api/google/ai-mode, 10 calls
Separate generated answer text from UI labels and source cards. Keep matched excerpts and block indexes; mark ambiguous mentions and unresolved citation redirects separately.
- Step 4$0.00
Make the baseline
Your agent, 0 calls
Calculate separate mention and citation shares only over assessable answer-bearing requests. Zero denominator is N/A. Show incomplete coverage and pending prompts beside the scores; do not present a partial sample as a ten-prompt trend.
Example API budget

- Lock the prompts, 0 calls
- $0.00
- Ask AI Overview, 10 calls
- $0.0015
- Ask AI Mode, 10 calls

- Make the baseline, 0 calls
- $0.00
- Total
- $0.003
Budget at $0.15 per 1,000 successful calls, not a measured receipt. Actual usage depends on matches and available pages. Retries count toward the attempt cap. Agent costs are separate.
What you get back
| File | Contents | Use it to |
|---|---|---|
| ai-visibility.csv | Prompt, surface, answer state, own/competitor mentions and citations | Find prompts to improve or monitor |
| baseline.md | Separate denominators, links and comparison rules | Measure change on the next identical run |
Record citations by domain and page URL when returned; a text mention is not a citation.
Put the result to work
Repeat the identical prompt set after publishing or at a set cadence.
AI answers vary by request and may be absent or unavailable. One run is a baseline, not a trend or a complete account of buyer exposure.
