The free ChatGPT visibility tracker for brand mentions in AI search
A ChatGPT visibility tracker measures whether — and how — AI answer engines mention your brand when buyers ask category questions. Buyers are shifting from Google to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, but most teams still have no instrumentation on whether AI surfaces them by name. SolCrys's free tracker scans your domain against 10 buyer-intent prompts in ChatGPT in about 5 minutes and reports mention rate, share of voice vs. competitors, and the sources AI cited.

Direct answer
A ChatGPT visibility tracker is a tool that runs a fixed set of buyer prompts through ChatGPT (and, in most paid plans, the other major AI answer engines), then reports three things back to you: how often your brand is mentioned, how often competitors are mentioned in your place, and which sources ChatGPT cited when forming its answer.
SolCrys is a free ChatGPT visibility tracker. Enter your domain at app.solcrys.com/audit, verify your email, and a 5-minute scan returns a single visibility score plus a competitor and citation breakdown. No credit card, no setup. Paid plans extend the same measurement to Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews on a daily cadence.
What a ChatGPT visibility tracker measures
Three signals matter for AI search the way blue-link rank and click-through rate matter for traditional SEO. A useful tracker measures all three on the same set of buyer-intent prompts, so the metrics are comparable over time and across engines.
- Mention rate — across N prompts, how often does ChatGPT name your brand at all? This is the AI-search equivalent of impressions: if ChatGPT never mentions you, no downstream metric matters.
- Share of voice — of all brand mentions across the same N prompts, what percentage belong to you vs. each competitor? This is the AI-search equivalent of paid-search share of voice — a relative, head-to-head metric that travels across category and time.
- Citation sources — when ChatGPT names your brand, which URLs is it citing? Owned domains, customer review sites, Reddit threads, news articles, or competitor pages? Citation-source analysis tells you where to invest content effort to actually shift mention rate.
How the SolCrys free ChatGPT visibility tracker works
The free audit is intentionally minimal — domain in, report out — so you can validate whether AI-search visibility is even a real problem for your category before talking to anyone in marketing or growth. Five steps:
- Step 1 — Domain in. Paste your URL at app.solcrys.com/audit. Any URL works (apex domain, product page, anything with a host).
- Step 2 — Email verify. Enter a work email; we send a 6-digit code. This anti-abuse step is what lets us run real ChatGPT prompts for free without melting the cost line.
- Step 3 — Prompt scan. We run 10 category prompts ("best X for Y", "alternatives to Z", etc.) through ChatGPT against your category. Same prompts every audit, so the result is comparable.
- Step 4 — Mention + citation extraction. Each ChatGPT answer is parsed for brand mentions (yours and competitors) and the source URLs it cited. We don't trust the model's claims; we extract the structured signals.
- Step 5 — Report. Single visibility score (your mention rate), competitor breakdown (share of voice), and the top 10 citation sources ChatGPT relied on. Five minutes end-to-end.
Free audit vs. paid SolCrys plans
The free audit is a one-shot ChatGPT snapshot. The paid plans are daily multi-engine tracking with prompts you control, alerting, and the action layer (content briefs that target the prompts you're losing). The table below maps which capability lives where.
| Capability | Free audit | Brand ($349/mo) | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT visibility tracking | Yes — 10 prompts, one-time | Yes — 50+ prompts, daily | Yes — unlimited prompts, daily |
| Gemini visibility tracking | No | Yes | Yes |
| Perplexity visibility tracking | No | Yes | Yes |
| Google AI Overviews tracking | No | Yes | Yes |
| Citation source analysis | Yes — one-time | Yes — daily | Yes — daily, deeper |
| Competitor share of voice | Yes — one-time | Yes — daily | Yes — daily, custom set |
| Custom prompt sets | No (fixed 10) | Yes | Yes |
| Alerting on drops | No | Yes | Yes |
| Action briefs (content → close gaps) | No | Yes | Yes |
| Setup time | 5 minutes | 30 minutes | Onboarded with CSM |
Multi-engine coverage — beyond ChatGPT
ChatGPT is the largest AI answer engine by query volume, but it's not the only one your buyers are using. A useful AI visibility tracker covers all four major surfaces, because share of voice in ChatGPT alone is a partial picture — Gemini and Perplexity often rank very different brands for the same buyer question, and Google AI Overviews is now the entry point to the rest of Google Search.
- ChatGPT — covered in both the free audit and paid plans. The dominant consumer AI surface and the one most search-shift studies cite.
- Google Gemini and AI Mode — covered in paid plans. Google's answer surface ships with hundreds of millions of latent users via the Google account graph.
- Perplexity — covered in paid plans. Researcher- and analyst-skewed audience; over-indexes on B2B SaaS and finance categories.
- Google AI Overviews — covered in paid plans. The most consequential surface for any brand that already invests in SEO, because Overviews appear above blue links on commercial-intent queries.
How a ChatGPT visibility tracker differs from SEO tools
Traditional SEO tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, SE Ranking) measure URL rank on Google's keyword results page. Their core unit of analysis is *your URL* and its position on a SERP. A ChatGPT visibility tracker has a different unit of analysis: *your brand name as a string token* inside an AI-generated answer. The signals don't substitute for each other:
- SEO measures URL rank. AI visibility measures whether your brand name appears in an answer paragraph at all. You can rank #1 on Google for a query and never get mentioned by ChatGPT on the same query.
- SEO is keyword-driven. AI visibility is prompt-driven. A tracker has to run actual prompts through a live model; you can't infer mention rate from a keyword-volume database.
- SEO clicks are countable. AI mentions are countable but referral-link signals are sparse. The right metric for AI search is mention rate and share of voice, not session counts.
- SEO tools optimize content for crawlers. AI visibility trackers surface what AI engines *already think* about your brand — including hallucinations and stale claims that need content correction.
Who uses a ChatGPT visibility tracker
AI-search visibility cuts across functions. The four common entry points below cover the majority of SolCrys free-audit usage in 2026:
Demand generation and growth marketing
Demand-gen teams use a ChatGPT visibility tracker to attribute pipeline shifts that don't show up in Google Analytics. When buyers research a category in ChatGPT and arrive at the website by direct or branded search, the channel report says "Direct" — but the underlying behavior is AI-assisted research. The tracker surfaces the upstream surface.
Brand and PR teams
Brand teams use the tracker to catch AI hallucinations early. ChatGPT will confidently misstate your pricing, your founder's name, your latest product, or your category position — and unlike a Google snippet you can't directly edit. The tracker tells you which prompts produce wrong answers, so PR and content teams can ship corrections (review-site updates, founder-byline pieces, Wikipedia edits) targeted to the actual hallucination.
Product and category marketing
PMM teams use a ChatGPT visibility tracker as competitive intelligence: which competitors does AI mention in your place, with what framing, and which sources is AI citing to justify those mentions? It's how you find out that ChatGPT thinks your top competitor invented the category — and what content effort would shift that.
Founders and small marketing teams
Single-PMM startups use the free audit as a 5-minute sanity check: "is AI even mentioning us at all yet?" If the audit shows zero mentions across 10 buyer prompts, you need a category-positioning conversation before you need an AEO platform. If the audit shows mentions but at a 12% share of voice vs. a 40% competitor, you need to ship content briefs targeted to the prompts you're losing — that's the paid Brand plan.

FAQ
What is a ChatGPT visibility tracker?
A ChatGPT visibility tracker is a measurement tool that runs a fixed set of buyer-intent prompts through ChatGPT, then reports how often your brand is named, how often competitors are named in your place, and which sources ChatGPT cited. It's the AI-search equivalent of a rank tracker, except the unit of analysis is your brand name inside an AI-generated answer, not your URL on a SERP.
How do I track my brand's visibility in ChatGPT?
The fastest path is the SolCrys free audit: enter your domain, verify your email with a magic-link code, and a 5-minute scan runs 10 buyer prompts through ChatGPT and returns your mention rate, share of voice vs. competitors, and the top citation sources. For ongoing tracking — daily scans across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews with custom prompt sets and alerting — the SolCrys Brand plan covers it from $349/month.
Is there a free tool to monitor brand visibility in ChatGPT?
Yes. SolCrys offers a free ChatGPT visibility tracker at app.solcrys.com/audit. The free tier runs 10 prompts through ChatGPT one-time and returns a full report (mention rate + share of voice + citation sources). No credit card required. Daily, multi-engine tracking is paid.
What's the best ChatGPT visibility tracker in 2026?
"Best" depends on the job you're hiring the tool to do. For free, one-shot ChatGPT-only audits, SolCrys's free tracker is the lowest-friction option. For enterprise daily tracking across all four major AI answer engines with custom prompt sets and the action layer that ships content briefs to close gaps, SolCrys's Brand and Enterprise plans are the canonical choice. For comparison shopping across all platforms in the category, see our best tools to track brand visibility in ChatGPT and Perplexity writeup.
How is ChatGPT visibility tracking different from SEO?
Traditional SEO tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz) measure your URLs' rank on Google's keyword results page. ChatGPT visibility tracking measures whether AI engines mention your brand by name when they generate answers — a different signal that doesn't depend on URL rank. You can rank #1 on Google and never get mentioned by ChatGPT. As buyers shift to AI answer engines, mention rate becomes the new share-of-voice metric.
Can I monitor ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini in one tool?
Yes. SolCrys's paid plans track ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews / AI Mode daily on the same prompt set, so you can compare share of voice across engines and catch the cases where one engine ranks a competitor that the others don't. The free audit covers ChatGPT only.
How do I measure share of voice in AI search?
Pick a set of buyer-intent prompts in your category, run them through ChatGPT (and the other major answer engines) regularly, and count brand mentions. Your share of voice is your mention count divided by total brand mentions across all results, for the same prompt set, over the same time window. A ChatGPT visibility tracker automates this — SolCrys reports it daily on the paid plans.
How long does the free ChatGPT visibility audit take?
About 5 minutes end-to-end: domain entry (under 30 seconds), email-verify with a 6-digit code (about 1 minute), prompt scan against ChatGPT (about 3 minutes for 10 prompts), and report rendering. You stay on the page the whole time and the report opens inline when the scan completes.
