AI and your business
How do I track my brand's visibility in AI language models?

The short answer
Track it as two separate measurements. Ask each model your customers' buying questions with web browsing turned off to see what it recalls from training data, then repeat with browsing on to see what live search surfaces. Log prompts, dates, and whether your brand was named, and rerun the same set monthly.
Most tools blur this line. They query models with search enabled, then report the result as your overall AI visibility, when it is really a measure of what the model's live retrieval found that day. Recall from training data moves slowly, mostly as corroborated mentions of your brand accumulate across the sources models learn from.
The useful part: the live-search layer tends to respond within weeks to work you control, things like citable pages, consistent business profiles, and answers written the way customers actually phrase questions. That is the layer our guide to getting recommended by ChatGPT works on. Treat training-data recall as a quarterly check, not a weekly scoreboard.
For mechanics, keep it boring and repeatable: a fixed prompt set, the same models each time, browsing state noted on every run, and screenshots saved as evidence. We walk through the full setup in how to measure AI visibility.
