AI visibility: citations, mentions, share of voice

Peec AI visibility features

Peec AI tracks a portfolio of prompts you define, either manually or via its suggested-prompts feature, which analyzes your website and auto-generates relevant conversational queries. Each prompt is run daily against the AI platforms on your plan, and the dashboard trends your visibility, position, and share of voice against configured competitors.

Citation and source analysis

Peec separates brand mentions from source citations **and shows which domains and URLs drive each AI answer, so you can see not just whether you appear, but which third-party sources put you (or a competitor) there.

Actions

Instead of leaving you with dashboards, Peec’s Actions turns visibility findings into recommended next steps, flagging which prompts and sources to target and what content moves could improve your standing.

The structural trade-off remains: Peec’s coverage is only as good as the prompts you (or its AI) thought to enter, and anything outside the configured set, including unexpected branded queries, stays invisible.

Ahrefs Brand Radar AI visibility features

Brand Radar maintains an index of 405M+ prompts sourced from what people actually type into Google, including Ahrefs’ 110B-keyword database filtered by search volume, plus People Also Ask questions, and runs them across 7 AI platforms (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Claude only for Custom prompts). You can query the index for any brand, product, or topic, and the data with history included immediately. Access the Bot analytics or social media sources and find what drives your AI visibility.

Competitor analysis

Type any competitor into the search field, and the AI Visibility Index returns its AI visibility instantly. Browse specific reports for Mentions, Citations, Impressions, or AI Share of Voice to dive deep into any of them.

Filter the results to surface queries where your brand is “Not mentioned” and/or “Not cited” to see the exact prompts, fan-out queries, and cited pages where rivals appear and you don’t. The Topics report clusters it all into demand-ranked themes for content prioritization, which is a layer Peec doesn’t offer.

Custom prompts

For specific queries, custom prompt tracking runs your own portfolio on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence across any of the 7 platforms. If you know the prompts you want to track, you can add them directly or use the “Generate” option, which suggests prompts based on competitor data and market verticals. You can switch the report’s data with the dataset filter, showing either Ahrefs’ index queries or your custom prompts set, so tracked and discovered visibility live in the same views.

Search demand, web, social

AI answers are grounded in search patterns, web content, and human discussion. Brand Radar tracks all three.

• Search Demand trends branded keyword volume with history to 2015.
• Web Visibility monitors linked and unlinked mentions across the web are updated every few minutes.
• YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit reports locate brand mentions down to the exact spot in video transcripts and the subreddits ranking in Google for your niche.

Data methodology

Category	Peec AI	Ahrefs Brand Radar
Prompt source	User-defined + AI-suggested from your website	Real Google search queries (110B-keyword index + PAA)
Coverage model	Deep on configured prompts, blind outside them	Broad across the index; custom prompts fill funnel gaps
Volume signal	None — prompts carry no demand data	Every prompt tied to measurable search volume
Update cadence	Daily	AI index ongoing; search demand every few days; web visibility every few minutes

No vendor has access to raw ChatGPT or Perplexity prompt logs. Both tools work around that black box in their own way. Peec gives you the steering wheel, you decide exactly which conversational prompts matter and get precise daily data on them. Ahrefs starts from what people verifiably search, real queries from its 110B-keyword database and Google’s People Also Ask, then expands them for topic coverage, so the core of the index is anchored to real search demand rather than guesswork. It’s also the only vendor in this comparison with a published methodology you can read through.
