There are 2 spots, because 2 is how many appear in the answer. Rank between them is your bid and nothing else — and it leaks 8% every day, so what you paid is not what you hold and a spot held is a spot topped up. The floor climbs $5 at every midnight UTC, which makes today the cheapest this ever gets. None of it touches the measured ranking.

The last 3 columns are real ChatGPT answers. We asked it the question at the top of this page 3 times, a new chat each time, and counted each answer the same way we count an article: it either named the tool or it did not.

How this is measured, and what is for sale
The measured ranking. We read the 6 articles that rank on search for this buying question — the pages an assistant retrieves when someone asks it — and counted every product each one names. We also asked ChatGPT the same question 3 times, a new chat each time, and counted each answer the same way. A tool's score is how many of those 9 name it. That is the whole method, and none of it is for sale.
The exact question behind this page:
What are the best AI visibility tools in 2026? I run marketing at a B2B SaaS company and I want to track and improve whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend us. Give me your actual recommendations.
The 6 articles, and what each one sells. Every number above is checkable against these:
- Frase vendor-authored publishes this list and sells Frase · read 2026-08-26 · archived 2026-07-04 (nearest snapshot, not the day we read it)
- Otterly.ai vendor-authored publishes this list and sells Otterly.ai · read 2026-08-26 · no public archive yet
- That Marketing Buddy affiliate links earns commission on tools it links to · read 2026-08-26 · archived 2026-04-15 (nearest snapshot, not the day we read it)
- Omnia vendor-authored publishes this list and sells Omnia · read 2026-08-26 · archived 2026-03-10 (nearest snapshot, not the day we read it)
- Dageno AI vendor-authored publishes this list and sells Dageno AI · read 2026-08-26 · archived 2026-06-07 (nearest snapshot, not the day we read it)
- Geoptie vendor-authored publishes this list and sells Geoptie · read 2026-08-26 · archived 2026-06-12 (nearest snapshot, not the day we read it)
Not one of those 6 is independent. Every article that ranks for this question is published by somebody who sells a tool in the field it ranks, or earns a commission on one. That is a finding about this search result, not a gap in our sample: we went looking for an independent source and there was not one. It is also the plainest argument for counting these articles rather than trusting them — and for why 5 of them put their own product first. Every source on this site, and who publishes it.
Archive links go to the Internet Archive, not to a copy held here. A snapshot we do not control is stronger evidence than one we do — and where its capture date differs from the date we read the page, that gap is printed rather than hidden.
Those 6 came from Claude Code WebSearch tool (US-region results, not signed in) (en-US) on 2026-08-26, searching: "best AI search visibility GEO tools 2026 get cited by ChatGPT Perplexity brand monitoring". 2 result(s) ranked but were excluded — see data/sources.json for why. The question was reworded on 2026-08-29, after these were chosen. A selection check on 2026-08-30 searching "best AI visibility tools 2026" found 1 of 6 still ranking, and no independent source among the pages that do. The board below is still the earlier reading, not a new one.
The sponsored block. 2 spots, because 2 is how many show up in the answer — we do not sell a rank that appears nowhere. Rank between them is your standing, standing decays 8% a day, and the floor climbs $5 every midnight UTC. It is labelled on every row and it moves nothing in the measured ranking. The full rules — outbidding, waiting, refunds — are on terms.
A red square in the ranking means that article is published by the tool in that row. 5 of the 6 articles rank themselves first.
