AI visibility monitoring
AI is recommending someone. Is it you?
Every day your customers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity who to buy from. MentionOwl’s AI visibility tracking records every answer that comes back — who got named, who got cited, and who got recommended instead of you.

Brand monitoring
You've searched for your brand. Your customer didn't.
You asked ChatGPT about your company and it said something flattering — your name was in the question. Your customer asks which tool to buy. Your name isn't in that question, so it has to earn its way into the answer. This is that answer.
“what’s the best invoicing tool for freelancers?”
asked 2m agoFor freelancers the whole game is getting paid without chasing. Three worth a look:
Ledgerly 1st — where most freelancers end up. Recurring invoices, automatic reminders, reconciles payments for you.cited ledgerly.com/pricing
Billfold 2nd — cheaper, and the mobile app is genuinely good if you invoice on the move.cited billfold.io/freelancers
Acme 3rd also does invoicing, though it's more geared to small teams than solo work.
If you're solo, Ledgerly is the safest default.
Illustrative example. Brands invented.
- Visibility score
- Named or not, first or last, in how many answers — one 0–100 number you can watch move.
- Citations
- Which URLs the answer actually leaned on. Usually a competitor's pricing page. Sometimes yours.
- Sentiment
- “Also does invoicing” is not a recommendation. We grade how the answer talks about you.
- Competitors
- Who keeps taking the slot you wanted, on which questions, and how often they close the answer.
AI shopping
The new shelf is three products long
Sometimes the answer isn't even a paragraph. Ask an AI what to buy and it names two or three products — prices, ratings, a verdict — and one of them wins the sale. Nobody falls off that shelf with a bang. You slide off quietly, week by week, and nothing tells you.
“best noise-cancelling headphones under $200?”
Under $200 you can get genuinely good active noise cancellation. Three worth your money:
Nova ANC 3 / $179
Larkspur One / $149
Meridian Q20 / $199
- Nova ANC 3:
- Best overall — the ANC genuinely beats everything at this price.
- Larkspur One:
- Cheapest of the three, and the battery outlasts the others.
- Meridian Q20:
- Most comfortable, if you wear them all day.
If you just want the best pair, get the Nova ANC 3.
Illustrative example — these brands aren’t real.
How it works
From "do they even mention us?" to knowing, in minutes
No tags to configure, no keywords to guess. Give MentionOwl your domain and it starts asking the questions your customers ask — today.
- 01
Add your website
Give us a domain. We crawl it, work out what you do, and draft fifteen questions your audience actually asks AI — most of them never naming you, because the answers that matter are the ones you have to earn. You can edit every one.
- 02
We ask the questions
MentionOwl runs your questions against ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity — the same way your customers ask — and records every answer and every cited URL, every day, each labelled web-grounded or model simulation.
- 03
You read what they said
Every answer, word for word, the morning it lands. And when something moves — a rival takes your slot, a citation goes dark, the tone turns — the owl hoots before anyone else notices.
The visibility score
How many of your answers look like those?
Those were single answers — one question, one engine, one day. Across every question your customers ask, on every engine: how often AI names you, how prominently, and how much of the answer your competitors own. One number, tracked week over week.

What the owl sees
Everything between your website and an AI answer
A question leaves your customer, the platforms go looking, and an answer comes back — with or without you in it. MentionOwl watches every step of that path.
01
AI legibility
15 checks whether AI can discover, parse and access your site.
02
AI traffic
Cookieless analytics splitting humans from crawlers and AI referrals.
03
Citations
Every answer recorded, every cited URL classified — with the reason.
04
Competitors
Who gets cited when you don't, and how much of the answer they own.
05
Sentiment
Not just whether AI mentions you — how it talks about you, run over run.
06
API & digests
Weekly digests, a REST API, and an MCP server for your own agents.
Who it's for
These questions are being asked right now
They sound different in every market, but they end the same way — with a recommendation. Whoever you are, you deserve to know when it's you and when it isn't.
“what's the best invoicing tool for freelancers?”
— asked while you were shipping
Solo founders
You can't interrogate five chatbots every morning — you have a product to build. The owl asks for you, every day, and hoots the moment your name comes up. Or the moment a rival's does.
“who's the best wedding photographer in Cape Town?”
— asked 3 minutes ago
Small businesses
That answer just sent a customer somewhere — to you, or to the shop across town. Know which, know how often, and know exactly what to fix so the next one goes your way.
“acme analytics vs northbeam — which should we pick?”
— asked before Monday's meeting
Marketing teams
AI answers are the new page one, and somebody owns it. Walk into the QBR with your share of voice, competitor movement, and a visibility score leadership actually trusts.
Right now, an AI is answering a question you could win.
If the recommendation isn’t you, it’s a competitor — and without a watch on it, you’ll never know. Point the owl at your domain and read tonight’s answers yourself.
