Over the last month I started experimenting with how different brands show up in AI responses (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude). Not talking about Google rankings just what these models mention when people ask for recommendations. While exploring this, I looked at a few platforms people discuss in this space like Peec AI, Otterly, Profound, AthenaHQ, Rankscale, Knowatoa, and LLMClicks. I wasn’t trying to promote anything — I just wanted to understand how this “AI visibility” idea actually works. One thing I noticed quickly: prompt wording changes everything. For example: When I ask “best local SEO tools”, certain companies appear. When I ask “tools agencies use for managing Google Business Profiles”, the list changes completely. Even across AI models the answers aren’t consistent. Sometimes ChatGPT mentions one set of brands, while Perplexity shows different sources or citations. That makes it harder to understand what “ranking” really means in AI answers. So I’m curious about a few things: Has anyone here actually measured traffic or leads from appearing in AI responses? Do you think tools tracking AI visibility are measuring real authority or just prompt variations? Are we still in the early experimentation stage of AI search? Would be interesting to hear what others are seeing, especially from people actively testing this space. submitted by /u/Real-Assist1833
