Quick answer
A neutral buyer guide: what to ask any platform that measures your brand's visibility inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews.
Why you need a tool at all
You cannot open ChatGPT daily, ask twenty questions and log them in a sheet. Manual measurement is not reproducible: answers drift, phrasing matters, and personalisation interferes. A tool turns that into a fixed prompt set, run on a schedule and compared over time.
The nine criteria
- Engine coverage: does it truly measure more than one engine, or one engine with the rest estimated?
- Arabic support: does it generate real Arabic and dialect queries, or literal translations?
- Prompt transparency: can you see each prompt and the full answer, or only an opaque score?
- Editability: can you add your own prompts and competitors?
- Citation tracking: does it identify the sources the model cited and expose the citation gap?
- Monitoring and alerting: daily/weekly runs with alerts on decline.
- Ties to classic SEO and Search Console: one complete picture.
- Actionable output: does it hand you ready content and schema, or just a report?
- Pricing and limits: prompts, domains and competitors included — and in which currency.
Red flags
- Numbers for engines the platform has no real access to.
- A visibility score with no stated methodology.
- No way to export data or share the report.
- USD-only pricing with no local option for the Egyptian market.
Questions to ask in the demo
- Show me one Arabic prompt and the full answer you captured.
- Exactly how is the visibility score computed?
- What happens if my position drops? Who is alerted and when?
- What do I actually do on Monday after the report?
Frequently asked questions
Is a classic SEO tool enough?
No. SEO tools measure SERP positions and cannot see whether your brand is mentioned inside a generated answer that may contain no links at all.
How many prompts are enough?
Start with 20–40 prompts covering purchase, comparison and problem intent, then expand once readings stabilise.
