Activate AI Visibility Tracking
In the sidebar under "AI Visibility", click "+ Start Tracking". Choose the project you want to track — tracking is project-scoped, you can run different setups per project.
Define brand keywords
Brand keywords are the queries where you want to be mentioned in AI answers. Three types you should track:
- › Direct brand queries — "What is Rankion?", "Rankion vs. Surfer SEO" → you should ALWAYS appear.
- › Category queries — "Best SEO tools 2026", "AI content generator comparison" → most important growth KPI.
- › Problem queries — "How to rank in ChatGPT?", "What is GEO?" → top-of-funnel visibility.
Select engines
Rankion queries four AI engines in parallel: ChatGPT (GPT-5), Perplexity, Claude (Opus 4), Google Gemini. You can disable individual engines to save credits — but we recommend all four, since answer patterns differ significantly.
Heads up
2 credits per keyword × engine × run. 20 keywords × 4 engines × weekly = 640 credits/month. Plan this before setup.
Set monitoring frequency
- › Daily — only for active campaigns with fast iterations.
- › Weekly — the default. AI models don't reindex daily, more is waste.
- › Monthly — sufficient for stable sites with constant brand presence.
Interpret results
The dashboard shows three core KPIs per keyword:
- › Mention Rate — how often you appear (0-100%). Target: >50% on direct queries, >20% on category queries.
- › Sentiment — neutral, positive, negative. Negative mentions are red alerts — investigate the source immediately.
- › Position — if mentioned, where? First mention > later mention.
Close content gaps
When mention rate is <30% on an important keyword, click "GEO Recommendations". Rankion analyzes the sources cited by AI engines and shows you concretely which content is missing — e.g. a comparison page, wiki entry, or FAQ section.
