Gemini, specifically

Gemini visibility tracking: does Gemini name your business?

free

When someone asks Gemini for a recommendation, it writes a short answer and names a few businesses — or none. Whether one of them is you is a fact you can check today. Whether it is still true next month is a different fact, and Gemini is the assistant this product asks most often: on both paid plans it is asked again every day.

Check your website

up to 5 questions · Gemini and ChatGPT · asked once each

Type your website address on the checker and it asks Gemini and ChatGPT up to five questions a customer of yours would type, once each, then shows you every answer: were you named, who was named instead, and which pages Gemini went and fetched.

1

It reads your homepage to work out what you sell and where you are.

2

It writes up to five questions a customer would type — and shows them to you before it asks.

3

It puts each one to Gemini and ChatGPT once, and reads the answers for your name and for the pages they quoted.

The check runs on our servers, and it has to. A web browser cannot ask Gemini a question on your behalf. The result is yours: it is not published, not pooled into any public figure, and not used to train anything unless you separately say yes.

What it can tell you about Gemini

and what it cannot

Measured on the free check

Whether Gemini named you in each answer, question by question — a yes or a no you can read for yourself.
Whether Gemini fetched a page of your site. It is the assistant the free check asks to search, so the citation column on a free result is Gemini’s.
Who it named instead — the businesses it recommended in your place, on that question, that day, and the domains its answer quoted.
Which model answered. Each result names the Gemini model that produced each answer — or says the provider did not name one.

Not measured, and said so

A rank. Gemini writes prose and has no positions to hold. Nothing here prints one.
Why Gemini said it. No assistant publishes its reasons, and a tool that explains them is guessing on your behalf.
Anything about a question nobody asked. Every figure belongs to a question that was actually put to Gemini, and the questions are shown to you.
What Gemini says to everyone. One run is one answer. A rate exists only across repeated asks, and the paid plans are where the asking is repeated.

Named and cited are counted over different denominators on purpose: naming over every answer Gemini gave, citation only over the answers it was asked to fetch for. A check that did not return is left out of every count, never scored as a no.

Why this page is about Gemini

Gemini is the assistant this product asks most often — every day, on both paid plans

Tracking something once is a photograph. Gemini is the one assistant here that is asked again every single day, which is what turns a Gemini figure into a rate instead of a snapshot.

Every plan asks Gemini. On Starter and Pro it is asked again daily, so a question accumulates roughly thirty Gemini answers a month on its own. ChatGPT is asked one day in seven on both paid plans; Pro adds Perplexity every third day and Claude every thirtieth. Those are four different numbers of observations, and they never get added together into one score — the pricing page publishes each plan’s cadence engine by engine.

Gemini is also the only assistant the free check asks to go and look. A free check asks two — Gemini and ChatGPT — and only Gemini is given search, so on a free result the did-an-assistant-read-my-site column is Gemini’s, and ChatGPT’s reads not measured rather than a zero nobody earned.

And the daily schedule is not a plan, it has fired. Checked on 26 October 2026 against our own run records, on one account — ours, the only Pro subscription that exists: tools/claims-proof.mjs reports Gemini asked on 51 consecutive days, 6 September to 26 October, with every gap exactly one day. On the same records Claude’s monthly run has fired once and is not yet proven, and no Starter subscription has ever run a schedule at all. The pricing page carries the same tags, row by row.

How often Gemini is asked, by plan
Plan	How often Gemini answers	How often Gemini is asked to fetch	What its cell can read
Free check	Once, when you ask for it. Nothing runs on a schedule. A free account gets three scans in any rolling 30 days.	Every time it is asked — Gemini is the assistant given search on a free check.	citedmentionedmissingnot measured
Starter and Pro	Every day, on a schedule, with the count of answers behind every figure.	One day in seven. Six days in seven Gemini answers from memory, and on the seventh it goes and looks.	citedmentionedmissingnot measured

Two numbers, two denominators, and never one blended figure. Because Gemini answers daily and fetches one day in seven, a Pro month gives you a mention rate over roughly thirty answers per question and a citation rate over roughly four. The first is counted out of every answer Gemini gave; the second only out of the answers it was asked to fetch for. A day it answered from memory reports citation as not measured, with the reason retrieval_not_requested — never as a zero. Prices and everything else each plan includes are on the pricing page, and only there.

If you searched for a Gemini rank tracker

There is no rank in a Gemini answer. There is whether you were named, and how often.

A search engine gives every page a position, so a rank tracker has something to track: fourth yesterday, sixth today. An answer does not work like that.

Gemini writes a paragraph. Sometimes the paragraph names three businesses, sometimes one, sometimes none — and the order they appear in is the order the sentence happened to come out, not a ranking anybody can hold on to. Ask again tomorrow and the paragraph is written again. A position number for a Gemini answer would be a number somebody invented and then tracked.

So what any “Gemini visibility tracker” can honestly count is narrower than the name suggests, and it comes to three things. Answermend is not a rank tracker and does not sell one; it counts these three and prints nothing that looks like a position.

1

Named, or not

For each question, Gemini either put your business in its answer or it did not. That is a yes or a no you can read in the answer itself, and it is the whole of what one run can tell you.

mentioned

2

How often, across runs

Ask the same question on thirty days and you get thirty answers. How many of them named you is a rate — named in 19 of 30 Gemini answers this month — and a rate needs its count beside it. The free check runs once and says so; the paid plans ask daily and report the count.

paid plans

3

Read, or remembered

Gemini can name you from what it learned in training without ever opening your website. Only a fetched page proves it read you. The two are kept apart in every result, because they need different fixes.

cited

Those three are the whole of it, and the thing a tracker cannot give you is the fourth one everybody wants: why. Google publishes no explanation of why Gemini named one business and not another, so neither do we.

Why one check is a snapshot

Ask Gemini twice and you can get two answers

Ask “best accountant for a small online shop” this morning and again this afternoon, and the two lists can differ. A business appears in one and not the other; the order shifts; a name drops out. None of that is your visibility moving. It is the same question landing differently.

That has two consequences for anyone measuring it. First, one run is one observation and has to be labelled as one: the free check asks each question once, says so on the result, and prints a count of questions — named in 2 of the 5 we asked — rather than a percentage that would pretend to a precision one run cannot have. Second, a rate only exists across repeats, which is the whole reason the paid plans go back to Gemini every day. The product averages across those runs and shows the count behind the average; it never publishes one check as though it were a trend.

Your businessmissing

Two runs, two lists, one business named in one of them. Neither run is wrong and neither is the truth. The morning run is not a win and the afternoon run is not a loss; a count across many runs is what tells you where you stand, and one run is what the free check gives you — labelled as exactly that.

What the free check does

What comes back when the check asks Gemini

You type a website address. Nothing to install, no account needed for the first look. Every question gets one of exactly four states, and the fourth is the one worth reading the rest of this page for.

Gemini used your page as a source

Gemini opened a page on your website and used it to answer. This is the strongest result the check can return, and on a free check Gemini is the assistant that can return it.

cited

Named from memory, page not used

Gemini said your name without a page of yours in its sources. It knows you exist; nothing on your site did the work. That is a different problem from being unknown, and it has a different fix.

mentioned

You were not in the answer

The answer came back and did not name you. The useful part is who it named instead — the businesses you are being compared with on that question, today.

missing

That one could not be checked

The request did not get through, or Gemini was not asked to search on that run. It is reported with its reason and left out of every count. Never scored as a no, never counted against you.

not measured

The signed-out check is capped per visitor per day, and the page shows the day’s shared budget of questions before you spend any. A free account gets three scans in any rolling 30 days on the same two assistants. Nothing on the free plan runs on a schedule; asking Gemini the same questions again day after day is what Starter and Pro are for.

What a result looks like

The real report screen, on an invented brand. It is a deeper scan than the free one, and the caption spells out the difference.

app.answermend.com/scan.html EXAMPLE DATA

A paid scan, not the free one. Eight questions put to four assistants — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity — once each in this scan, 32 checks in all. The free check asks up to five questions once each on Gemini and ChatGPT, and asks only Gemini to fetch. The dashed tile is the part to trust either way: two of the 32 checks here did not return, and they are reported as not measured and excluded from every count, never scored as a no. Northlight is invented; every figure is example data.

The not-measured tile, close up: 2 checks not measured of 32 prompt-by-engine checks, excluded from all three denominators and never counted as a miss. — The fourth tile, close up. Two of the 32 checks on this example scan did not return — Perplexity was rate limited — so they land here and are left out of every count: not a zero, not a miss, and never counted against you.

If you are comparing Gemini visibility trackers

Four questions to put to any tool that tracks Gemini

Plenty of tools will tell you whether Gemini mentions your brand, and some of them are good. Rather than a ranked list, here are the four questions worth asking of any of them — this one included.

1

Does it keep “named” apart from “cited”?

A tool that reports one number for both cannot tell you whether Gemini read your site or remembered it, and those are two different problems with two different fixes.

2

Does it show the count behind every figure?

A visibility percentage with no run count is a rate over a denominator you cannot see. Look for the count — named in 19 of 30 — and for the assistant and the period it belongs to. Figures from different assistants asked on different days do not add up into one.

3

Does it say what it did not measure?

A failed request, a rate limit, or a run where the assistant was never asked to search should appear as not measured — never as a zero and never as a miss. A tool that fills those cells in is guessing on your behalf.

4

Does it say how it got the answer?

This check asks Gemini through Google’s own published programming interface, and each result names the model that answered, or says the provider did not name one. Where a surface offers no way to ask it directly, a tool should say how it got the number rather than print one that looks the same.

Eight vendors are compared on the comparison page, every price read off the vendor’s own page and dated, with a section on when one of them is the better buy than this. If all you want is a tracking number, some of them are cheaper, and that page says which.

Fair questions.

cited: A page on your site was fetched and used as a source.
mentioned: Named from model memory. Your site did nothing.
missing: The answer ran and never named you. Someone else got the recommendation.
not measured: The check did not return, or the assistant was not asked to look. Reported with its reason and left out of every count.

Is this a Gemini rank tracker?

No. There is no rank inside a Gemini answer to track: it writes prose, and the businesses it names, and the order it names them in, change from one run to the next. What can be counted is whether you were named, how often across runs, and whether a page of yours was fetched. This counts those three and prints nothing that looks like a position.

How often is Gemini checked?

On the free check, once per question, when you ask for it — nothing runs on a schedule. On Starter and Pro, Gemini answers every day, and it is asked to go and fetch one day in seven. That is why a paid Gemini figure comes as two numbers with two counts: a mention rate over about thirty answers a month per question, and a citation rate over about four. They are never added together.

Which Gemini does the check ask?

It asks through Google’s programming interface rather than by driving the Gemini website, and each result names the model that answered every question — or says the provider did not name one — so you know which Gemini you are looking at.

Is this the same as tracking Google’s AI Overviews?

No. Gemini the assistant and the AI Overviews block inside Google Search are different surfaces that can give different answers, and this page is about Gemini. Where AI Overviews stands on each plan is stated on the pricing page; no figure about it appears here. Google’s AI Mode is a third surface again, and what can and cannot be measured about it has a page of its own.

Does the check tell me whether Gemini read my site?

Yes, and that is the one thing the free check can prove. Gemini is the assistant it asks to search, so a free result shows whether a page of yours was fetched and used. ChatGPT is not asked to look on a free check, so its cell reads not measured rather than a zero nobody earned.

Can you make Gemini recommend my business?

No, and nobody can. What the check gives you is where you are missing, who was named instead, and what to change on your site so that an assistant that goes looking can read you. Whether Gemini then names you is its decision, not ours.

Does the check run in my browser?

No. A browser cannot ask Gemini a question on your behalf, so the check runs on our servers and the checker page says so. Your result is yours: not published, not pooled into any public figure, and not used to train anything unless you separately say yes.
