AI Visibility · Built for online stores

See which of your products
AI actually recommends

Shoppers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity what to buy every day. SearchMention runs those exact prompts against every major AI model and shows you which products get cited, which competitor wins instead, and exactly what to fix — purpose-built for ecommerce.

See it live

Watch AI recommend a competitor instead of you

No dashboard tour. We run a real buyer prompt against ChatGPT live, and you watch which store gets named — and which one doesn't. This is the gap SearchMention finds and helps you close.

The problem

There's no Search Console for ChatGPT

Buyers ask AI for product recommendations right now — and most stores have zero visibility into whether they're the ones being named.

A ChatGPT answer recommending competitor running shoes while your store is not mentioned

Real prompts a shopper might run today:

› "What's the best running shoe under $100 for flat feet?"
› "Recommend an espresso machine for a small kitchen, under $500."
› "I need a winter coat for hiking in the Pacific Northwest."

These get answered with specific product and brand names. If you're not in the answer, the buyer never sees you — and you'll never know it happened.

Product-level visibility

Not "brand mentions." Which products win.

Generic AI monitors tell you a brand got mentioned somewhere — useless when you sell hundreds of products. We attribute every citation to the exact product page, so you know which products AI loves, which never surface, and which competitor is winning instead.

  • Product coverage — "AI cites 12 of your 84 tracked products," with the never-cited list as your opportunity backlog
  • Share of voice vs competitors — who AI recommends instead, per prompt, with the page that won
  • Performance by buyer intent — cite rate per query type (comparison, best-for, budget) so you know where to push

Product-level AI visibility — which products are cited and by which prompts

How it works

Connect your store, prompts run themselves

1

Drop in your store URL

We import your sitemap, classify pages, and pull your product categories — no install, no code.

2

Prompts auto-generate

An LLM writes buyer-shaped shopping queries from your catalog. Edit, add your own, or start from scratch.

3

Track, every week

Each prompt runs across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. We parse mentions, citations, sentiment, and competitors.

Why SearchMention

Built for online stores, not marketing teams

Most AI visibility tools were built to monitor a brand name for enterprise marketing departments. Selling products is a different job — and it needs a tool that speaks catalog, schema, and shopping intent.

Generic AI brand monitors

  • Tracks a brand name; can't tell you which product got cited
  • You write prompts manually, by hand
  • No connection to why — your schema, crawlers, or page readiness
  • Priced and built for enterprise marketing teams

SearchMention

  • Attributes every citation to the specific product page
  • Prompts auto-generated from your catalog categories
  • Links visibility to AI readiness — the fix, not just the result
  • Priced for stores — starts free, Starter at $29/mo

What you'll see

Visibility, broken down the way stores actually need it

Mention rate per model

% of prompts that mention your store, broken down by ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity. Find your strongest model — and where you're invisible.

Your products in AI search

Most-cited products plus the never-cited opportunity list — the exact pages to prioritize for your next visibility push.

Lost prompts, diagnosed

Queries that should mention you but don't — each with the full AI response, the competitor that won, and a recommended product fix.

Competitor visibility

Tracked competitors plus newly discovered ones AI keeps naming. Your AI search competitive set, surfaced automatically.

Citation tracking

When AI cites a URL, we capture it — yours and competitors'. On paid plans we score the cited competitor pages so you see what they did right.

Trend over time

Run-over-run change so you can tie visibility shifts to specific changes — schema fixes, new content, robots.txt updates.

Frequently asked questions

AI visibility is whether your store and products get named when shoppers ask AI assistants — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — for recommendations. Unlike a Google rank, there's no fixed position: answers vary by phrasing and run, so we measure mention rate, citation rate, and competitor share across many runs.
Most AI visibility tools were built to monitor a brand name for enterprise marketing teams. SearchMention is built for online stores: we attribute citations to specific product pages, auto-generate buyer-shaped prompts from your catalog, and connect visibility to the underlying AI readiness fixes — and we're priced for stores, starting free.
We call each AI provider directly with web search enabled — OpenAI Responses API for ChatGPT (gpt-4.1-mini with web_search), Gemini 2.5 Flash with Google Search grounding, and Perplexity Sonar on Growth. You see what those models would tell a real shopper, not a cached or simulated answer.
We auto-generate them from your catalog. After importing your sitemap and classifying pages, an LLM writes buyer-shaped shopping queries based on your product categories. You can edit, add, or remove any prompt.
No. Drop in your store URL and we import your sitemap automatically — no app, theme edit, or code required. (AI Traffic analytics is the one optional add-on that uses a lightweight integration.)
We work with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, and custom storefronts. Free and Starter cover ChatGPT and Gemini; Growth adds Perplexity. Claude and others are on the roadmap.
