💡 Why AI Visibility Is the New Competitive Metric
In 2025, visibility is no longer just about who ranks highest on Google it’s about who gets mentioned inside AI-generated answers.
When users ask ChatGPT or Gemini for product recommendations, those tools don’t show 10 links they pick a handful of trustworthy sources.
That’s where BrandRadar, a feature of SiteSignal, comes in.
It helps you see whether your business or your competitors are being named, cited, or recommended by AI assistants.
🔍 What Exactly Is BrandRadar?
BrandRadar is an AI visibility tracking system built into SiteSignal.
It scans the major AI tools ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity to see:
- When your brand or website is mentioned
- How often your competitors are mentioned
- What kinds of prompts trigger those mentions
Think of it as a “visibility scoreboard” for AI search.
You can finally measure, compare, and improve your brand’s presence in AI-generated results.
⚙️ How BrandRadar Works
Here’s how the system operates behind the scenes:
- Prompt Library Generation
BrandRadar builds a list of real, industry-related prompts, the same types of questions potential customers ask AI tools. Example: “Best SEO monitoring platforms,” or “Top digital agencies in Sri Lanka.” - AI Querying
The system runs those prompts daily across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. - Response Capture
It collects the full text of the AI-generated answers. - Entity Recognition
The system detects mentions of your brand name, website, or known competitors. - Scoring & Comparison
Each mention is categorized as:- ✅ Visible (mentioned directly)
- ⚠️ Partially visible (implied or indirect reference)
- ❌ Not visible
- Reporting & Alerts
You’ll receive weekly summaries showing:- Where your brand stands in AI responses
- Which competitors appear most frequently
- Which prompts generate the most visibility
📈 Why Competitor Tracking Across AI Tools Matters
| Advantage | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| See Who AI Trusts | Identify which brands AI assistants cite most often in your space. |
| Spot Content Gaps | Learn which questions feature competitors and adjust your content accordingly. |
| Benchmark Progress | Measure your visibility growth month over month. |
| Prioritize Optimization | Focus your SEO and content efforts on topics where you’re not yet visible. |
In short, BrandRadar shows you what AI already “believes” about your market.
🧩 Example: How a Marketing Agency Might Use BrandRadar
Let’s say you run a web design agency in Sri Lanka.
BrandRadar checks AI prompts like:
- “Best web design companies in Sri Lanka”
- “Top digital agencies for small businesses”
If your competitor appears but you don’t, BrandRadar highlights:
- Which prompt triggered their mention
- Which AI tool cited them
- Suggested fixes (e.g., add schema, strengthen service pages, clarify headings)
You now have clear, actionable insight into how to close that visibility gap.
