Brand Mention Tracking

Brand mention tracking is the practice of recording when and how AI engines mention your brand across models and prompts. This page explains the technique.

This capability was part of the paid AEO Platform product, which closed on 2026-10-02. It is not available. This page explains the technique for reference.

Quick answer
Brand mention tracking is the practice of recording when AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini name your brand in an answer, and how they describe it. Many buyers now research a product, a category, or a brand in an AI engine first. A mention in a recommendation list shapes perception before the user visits your website.
How it works

Brand Mention Tracking in detail

Tracking starts with a query bank: a fixed list of prompts tailored to your brand, category, and competitive set. A monitoring workflow sends those prompts to each AI engine on a schedule and stores the full response. Teams can also run the same prompts by hand in each engine, which works at small scale.

Natural-language processing, or a careful manual read, extracts every mention of the brand and its context. Each mention is classified by type: recommendation, comparison, factual description, or cautionary note.

Each mention is stored with metadata: the engine, the prompt, the timestamp, co-mentioned brands, and sentiment. A deduplication step stops minor wording changes between runs from counting as separate events. The data is then reviewed as a feed, as time-series charts, and as engine-level breakdowns.
