What AI tells your buyers, checked.

Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI before they ask you. IndustryLens tracks what those answers say about you and your competitors, checks them against your real site, and ties every shift to the competitor move behind it.

A question that names you nearly always gets an answer that names you. Mixing those in inflates every score, so they sit in their own slice.

From answer to briefing.

Every answer is kept, checked against your facts, and read next to what your competitors did that week.

Our own price change, as AI saw it

  1. 1 OctWe changed our pricing currency
  2. 7 OctAI answers already quote the new pricing
  3. 11 OctOur weekly snapshot records the change
  4. 13 OctSome answers still repeat the old currency

Answers moved before our own weekly capture did, and some kept the old copy 12 days later. Your pricing page shows what changed; only the answers show what buyers were told.

AI search visibility: common questions

Which AI engines does IndustryLens track?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, with plain Google results alongside for comparison. Where an engine’s consumer app can be captured (ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI results), we record the answer a buyer actually sees, not just a model API response. Claude and Perplexity are captured through their web-search APIs, and we say so in the report.

How often are answers checked?

Each question is asked on a regular schedule, daily on our own account, and asked more than once, because AI answers vary from one run to the next and a single lucky answer should not move a score. What changed lands in your weekly briefing, next to the rest of your competitive intelligence.

What is the difference between branded and unbranded questions?

A branded question names you (“Is IndustryLens any good?”), so the answer almost always mentions you. An unbranded question does not (“best competitive intelligence tools for a SaaS team”), and that is where buyers form a shortlist. We score the two separately and lead with unbranded, so a visibility score is not inflated by questions that could only ever mention you.

How do you check whether an AI answer is accurate?

When an answer states a fact about you, such as a price, a plan, a policy or a feature, we check it against your live website. Wrong and outdated answers go into a log with the engine, the date, the answer text and the pages the engine cited, so you know whether to fix your own page or get a third-party page corrected.

How does AI visibility connect to competitive intelligence?

The same system already tracks your competitors’ pricing pages, websites, reviews, news, ads and Google results. When an engine starts naming a rival more often, we look for the move behind it: a new comparison page, a review spike, a launch or a price change. You get the shift and the likely cause in one place, each with its source.

Which markets and languages can you cover?

Any market the engines answer in. The question set is written for each market in the buyer’s own language (for example English for the US and UK, German for Germany) and run from that country, because the answers, the sources cited and the competitors named all change by market.
