Which AI engines does SeenRank track?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overview. We run real queries against each one weekly and parse the responses for whether your business is mentioned, where, and what was said about you.

How is this different from regular SEO tracking?

Regular SEO tools check Google's ten blue links. SeenRank checks the answers AI engines now give above and beside those links. Different surface, different ranking signals, different game.

How are queries chosen?

When you add a business, SeenRank suggests 20 queries based on your category and audience, the kind of buying-intent questions real customers type into ChatGPT or Claude. You can edit the list, add your own, or use ours.

What does the why-you-weren't-cited report do?

Each week, Claude reads the AI responses your business missed and writes three specific, concrete recommendations. Things like publish a comparison page on this exact topic or answer this question on your FAQ.

Can I run this on multiple businesses for clients?

Yes. The Pro plan tracks up to 15 businesses and adds white-label custom-domain client reports, the Outreach Agent, API access, an MCP server, and a weekly digest summarizing every client.

Do you store the raw AI responses?

Yes. We store the full raw response for every query so you can audit exactly what the AI said and screenshot it for clients. Stored securely in Supabase.

Does this work for SaaS, B2B, e-commerce, or service businesses?

Yes. SeenRank works for any business in any category. Local services, SaaS, e-commerce, B2B, agencies, creators. If a customer might ask an AI engine about your category, we track whether you're cited.

One click in the billing page. No phone calls, no please-don't-leave emails. You can also downgrade or pause.

Why does an AI visibility tool score 0 on its own queries?

Because AI engines recommend brands from a finite pool of cited sources — listicles, guides, forum threads — and a product launched in July 2026 has not entered that pool yet. Visibility is earned citation by citation; the tool measures the gap, then generates the fixes that close it.

Which queries is SeenRank tracking on itself?

Four buying-intent queries, fixed for the whole series: best AI search visibility tool for local businesses; how do I check if ChatGPT recommends my business; most affordable AI search visibility software that tracks multiple AI engines; and best GEO tools for small businesses in 2026.

Our AI visibility tool scores 0/100 on itself. We’re fixing that in public.

Updated 2026-07-23. By the SeenRank team.

Short answer: we ran SeenRank on SeenRank — four real buying-intent queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini-grounded Google AI, and Google Search, sixteen runs total — and our own product was mentioned zero times. Baseline score: 0/100. This series documents the climb, using only the to-do lists SeenRank generates for itself.

Why publish this?

Every tool in this category promises it can get you mentioned by AI. None of them show you their own number. So here is ours, and it is the worst number possible: 0 out of 16 runs, confidence interval 0–19, stability “stable” (a consistent zero, which is honestly funnier).

If SeenRank works, this number climbs and you watch it happen with the receipts. If it doesn’t climb, you get to watch that too. Either way it is the most honest demo we can offer, and it is exactly the kind of original, dated, first-party data that AI engines reward: the KDD 2024 Princeton/Georgia Tech GEO study measured a 41% citation-rate lift from adding statistics to a page.

The baseline, in full

On July 23, 2026 we tracked these four queries — the exact questions a buyer in our category asks:

“best AI search visibility tool for local businesses”
“how do I check if ChatGPT recommends my business”
“most affordable AI search visibility software that tracks multiple AI engines”
“best GEO tools for small businesses in 2026”

Each ran against four engines. SeenRank appeared in none of the sixteen answers. Who did appear:

Claude recommended Otterly, Ayzeo, PromptWatch, Profound, Rankscale, ZipTie, Scalenut, and ReachLLM depending on the query.
ChatGPT (no browsing) fell back to legacy SEO brands: BrightLocal, Whitespark, Semrush, Moz, Yext — a reminder that its parametric memory lags the category badly.
Google AI Overview named Otterly, Local Falcon, Birdeye, SE Ranking, Paige by Merchynt, Localo, SOCi, Geoptie, Searchable, and Frase.
Google Search put a Reddit r/localseo thread at #1 for our head query, followed by listicles from cheers.tech, ayzeo.com, semrush.com, and birdeye.com.

What the data actually teaches (that a dashboard wouldn’t)

Three things jumped out of the raw responses that a mention-rate chart would have hidden:

The engines don’t agree on what the category is

Ask ChatGPT about “GEO tools” and it recommends Google Maps APIs and GIS software. Ask Google AI Overview and it splits the answer into local SEO tools and generative engine optimization tools. Category language is still unsettled, which means the citation pool is still soft — good news for a latecomer.
The sources are knowable, and there aren’t many of them

Claude’s answers cited roughly two dozen listicles and guides. Google AI Overview cited a partially overlapping set. That is the entire wall between us and being recommended: a finite, named list of pages, plus two Reddit threads. AI visibility work is not mystical; it is a citation-by-citation ground game.
Fresh, specific pages beat old, generic ones

ChatGPT’s browsing-off answers leaned on brands with a decade of web presence. Every engine that could read the live web cited pages published or updated within months, most with 2026 in the title. Recency and specificity are doing real ranking work.

The rules of the climb

We only ship fixes that SeenRank’s own daily to-do list generates. No secret consulting, no paid placements (there are none in organic AI answers anyway).
Every update publishes the current score, the runs behind it, and the exact fixes shipped that week — including the ones that did nothing.
The tracked queries never change. No swapping in easier queries when the number embarrasses us.

Updates will land on this blog. The current score is always public.

Run the same test on your business

The whole point of SeenRank is that this baseline takes 60 seconds to get, not an afternoon. Run the free check — no card, no signup — and see whether AI mentions you, and who it names instead. If your number is zero too, at least now you know, and the fix list is the product.
