# AI visibility tracking you can check line by line > A tour of AEOmeter, the LLM visibility tool for founders: brand setup, prompt tracking, saved answers, cited sources and browser monitoring across four AI engines. AEOmeter tracks how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews answer the questions your buyers ask, and whether they name you or a competitor. Here is every screen, with example data for a fictional brand. Screens: Setup, Overview, Prompts, Answers, Sources, Monitoring, plus MCP and API access. ## Setup: Start with one brand and the rivals you lose deals to Add your brand, the names people actually use for it and the domains you own. Then add a few competitors. Aliases decide what counts as a mention, and domains decide what counts as your own citation. - One own brand plus competitors, each with aliases and owned domains. - Starter prompts are suggested as soon as you add a brand, so you are not staring at an empty list. - A first ChatGPT run is queued for you, ready for when the extension connects. More: [Choosing prompts](https://aeometer.com/guides/choosing-prompts). ## Overview: Where you stand, in one screen Visibility (mention rate), Cited (owned citation rate) and a competitor comparison for the period and engines you pick. Each number carries its denominator, like "18 of 43 answers". - Gaps lists answers where a competitor is mentioned and you are not. - Failed, blocked and "no AI Overview" checks are left out of the rates, never counted as misses. - Extension status and the time of the last real capture sit at the top, so stale data is obvious.

Bring your own list or start from the suggestions. - Import from CSV or plain text with a preview before anything is saved. - Tags, pause and bulk actions for keeping 20 or 200 prompts tidy. - Editing a prompt starts a new baseline, so trends compare like with like.

More: [Methodology](https://aeometer.com/methodology). ## Sources: The pages AI leans on in your category Group every cited source by domain or by page and see which sites keep showing up next to your competitors. Your own domains are marked, so you can see how often AI cites you directly. - Group by domain for the big picture, by page for the exact URL. - Own, competitor and third-party sources are labelled. - When source extraction was incomplete for an answer, the app says so.

When a check pauses for a login or verification, you see which one and why. - Daily schedules run in the timezone you choose. - The next scheduled time and the last actual capture are shown separately. - Pause, resume or skip from the extension's toolbar popup.

It signs in with OAuth. A REST API with an [OpenAPI spec](https://aeometer.com/openapi.json) covers the rest.

You pick which of the four each prompt goes to. See [all engines](https://aeometer.com/engines). ### What is the difference between a mention and a citation? A mention is your brand name (or an alias) appearing in the answer text. A citation is a source the engine attributes to its answer. AEOmeter counts them separately, and only citations to your own domains count toward your owned citation rate. ### Can I import the prompts I already have? Yes. Paste plain text or upload a CSV, check the preview, then save. You can tag, pause and bulk edit prompts afterwards. ### Does AEOmeter use the ChatGPT API? No. The Chrome extension asks the consumer apps your buyers use, signed in with your own accounts. [How it works](https://aeometer.com/how-it-works) explains the trade-offs of that choice. ### Can I export the data? Competitor comparisons export to CSV. Prompts, answers and analytics are also available through the [MCP server and REST API](https://aeometer.com/features/mcp). --- - Web page: https://aeometer.com/product - Start tracking your brand: https://aeometer.com/sign-up - All pages for AI agents: https://aeometer.com/llms.txt
