LLM Visibility Tracking.
If you can't see it, you can't grow it.

LLM visibility tracking measures whether, how often and how favorably AI assistants mention a brand when people ask them questions in its category. A fixed set of prompts is run on a schedule across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Mode, and the results are scored for citation share, citation order, recommendation versus mention, sentiment and competitor share of voice. Bonsai Marketing runs this on the BonsaiX platform for every AI search program and as a standalone monthly service for brands that want the measurement before the work.

[ 01 · Why it matters ]

The case for
getting this right.

01

AI answers are invisible in Google Search Console and analytics. A brand can be losing category demand inside assistants for a year and see nothing in its dashboards except a slow decline in branded search.

02

Ad-hoc checks mislead. The same prompt gives different answers on different days and different platforms. Only a fixed prompt set, re-run on a schedule, separates real movement from noise.

03

Sentiment matters as much as presence. A model that mentions you but describes you inaccurately, or recommends a competitor in the same breath, is a problem you cannot fix until you can see it.

[ 02 · What you get ]

What ships.
No scope drift.

Every engagement ships these. If it is listed below, it is part of the work.
01 Prompt set design: category, comparison, local and branded prompts that mirror how your buyers actually ask
02 Scheduled runs across five AI platforms with results stored for trend analysis
03 Visibility score, citation share and citation order, by platform and by topic
04 Sentiment and accuracy read: what the models get right and wrong about you
05 Competitor share of voice on the same prompts
06 Monthly report with the three changes that mattered and the recommended response
[ 03 · What we measure ]

Activity is easy.
Outcomes count.

  • → Overall visibility score and trend
  • → Per-platform visibility, since Gemini and Perplexity behave differently from ChatGPT
  • → Topic-level scores, so you can see which service lines the models know
  • → Sources the models cite for your category, which becomes the citation target list

Measured on the BonsaiX platform and reported monthly. Results vary by starting position, competition and how quickly decisions get made.

[ 04 · Process ]

Four phases.
No mystery.

01 —

Prompt set

We build the prompt set with you from search data and sales conversations. Getting the questions right is most of the value.

02 —

Baseline run

First full run across five platforms. You get the score, the confusion report and the list of sources the models trust in your category.

03 —

Schedule

Runs repeat on a fixed cadence so movement is comparable month to month.

04 —

Report and act

Monthly read with the changes that mattered. Tracking on its own is a dashboard; paired with GEO and AEO it is a feedback loop.

[ 07 · FAQ ]

Questions,
answered honestly.

01 Can we track without buying an optimization program?
+
Yes. Tracking is available standalone for brands that want the measurement first. Most add the optimization work once the baseline shows where they are missing.
02 How many prompts do you track?
+
Enough to cover your service lines and markets without diluting the signal, commonly 30 to 60 for a single-market business and more for multi-location brands with per-market prompts.
03 Which platforms are included?
+
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Mode. Platforms are added as they become material to how people search.
04 Is this the same as rank tracking?
+
No. Rank tracking reports a position on a results page. Visibility tracking reports whether you are inside a generated answer, where in the citation order, and how you are described. We run both and report them side by side.
05 Can our agency or in-house team use the data?
+
Yes. Reports are yours, and for agencies we offer white-label monthly reporting through the Win Report.

Does Siri name you — or your competitor?

Assistants return one or two names, not a page of results. AnswerSlot reads your Google profile and your site the way an assistant reads them, asks the models the questions your customers actually ask, and shows you what came back — including the business it named instead of you.
