How to Measure Your Brand’s Visibility in Generative AI Assistants

As generative AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity become more integrated into daily life, users are turning to them for everything—from product recommendations to brand research. But here’s the million-dollar question:
How visible is your brand in generative AI responses?
If your brand isn't showing up in AI-generated responses, you're potentially missing out on a growing and highly influential discovery channel.
In this article, we’ll explore how to measure your brand’s visibility in generative AI tools, why it matters for SEO and digital strategy, and how platforms like Seonali are pioneering tools to track and improve this visibility.
Why Brand Visibility in AI Assistants Matters
Generative AI is the new search.
With the rise of AI-powered search experiences—like ChatGPT’s web browsing feature, Google AI Overviews, and AI integrations in Bing—users are no longer just clicking through traditional search results. Instead, they are consuming summarized, conversational answers—where only a few brands may be mentioned, if any.
This means that:
- AI responses are replacing top search results.
- Your traditional SEO performance may not reflect your AI visibility.
- You need new tools and metrics to track this emerging space.
Key Ways to Measure Brand Visibility in Generative AI
1. Direct Brand Mentions in AI Responses
Start by checking if your brand name appears when users ask questions on relevant for your brand topics. For example, if you run a fitness brand, try asking ChatGPT:
- “What are the best protein powder brands?”
- “Top fitness apparel companies for beginners?”
If your brand doesn’t show up—your visibility is likely low.
Pro Tip: Seonali allows the tracking of your brand mentions in ChatGPT now, and we are about to add other LLMs platforms. So you can see where (and if) your brand appears in generative responses.
2. Share of Voice in AI Responses
Beyond whether your brand is mentioned, it's important to measure how often it appears compared to competitors.
Example: If a user asks Gemini “What’s the best CRM software?”, and HubSpot appears 5 times more often than your tool, that’s a competitive insight you can’t afford to ignore.
Seonali offers comparative danalytics so you can:
- See how often you’re mentioned across AI platforms
- Benchmark your brand against competitors
- Monitor changes over time
3. Topic-Level Relevance
Are AI associating your brand with the right keywords or niches?
For instance, if you sell eco-friendly cosmetics, you’ll want visibility for:
- “Best sustainable skincare brands”
- “Natural makeup brands with eco-packaging”
With Seonali, you can see the AI responses (prompts) that are relevant for your brand and your personas, and see if your brand is being surfaced for those AI-generated topics.
4. Content Source Analysis
Generative AI answers are based on training data and current web content. Measuring what content feeds those mentions is essential.
Seonali helps trace which content pieces (e.g., blog posts, press mentions, reviews) contribute to your AI visibility. This lets you:
- Amplify high-performing content
- Spot content gaps
- Update outdated information influencing AI
5. Sentiment & Context Monitoring
It’s not just if you’re mentioned—but how.
AI responses might describe your brand positively, neutrally, or negatively. Seonali provides sentiment analysis though NPS score so you can ensure your brand is positioned accurately and favorably.

Seonali’s Persona Feature: Tailor AI Visibility by Audience
One of the most powerful ways to understand your brand AI visibility is by persona-based visibility analysis.
With Seonali’s Persona Feature, you can define buyer types—like “eco-conscious millennial,” “B2B procurement officer,” or “budget shopper”—and measure how your brand performs in AI responses tailored to those personas.
Why It Matters:
- Different personas trigger different AI outputs.
- You may perform well for startups but not for enterprise users.
- ChatGPT might recommend you to price-conscious users but not to luxury seekers.
Seonali lets you:
- Create custom personas
- Prompt AI assistants from those perspectives
- Track and compare brand visibility by persona
This gives you clarity on whether you’re reaching the right audience—not just any audience.
Sample Use Case: A DTC Skincare Brand
Let’s say you run a direct-to-consumer skincare brand.
Without Seonali:
- You check search rankings but have no clue if ChatGPT ever recommends you.
- You’re mentioned occasionally, but you don’t know why—or compared to whom.
With Seonali:
- You discover your brand is mentioned 12% of the time in "top eco-friendly skincare" AI answers—behind 3 main competitors.
- You trace those mentions back to a blog post from 2021.
- You optimize newer articles and push fresh backlinks.
- Your visibility increases.

- Brand discovery
