Do AI assistants recommend you, or your competitor?

AI brand visibility asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the buyer questions in your category, without naming your brand, and measures who they recommend. You get a score, share of voice, the prompts you're missing from and the sources they cite.

What you get back

• Score from 0 to 100 (visibility, rank quality, first mention)
• Per engine: visibility %, first-mention rate, average rank, sentiment
• Share of voice against the competitors you name
• Missed prompts where a competitor was named and you weren't
• Top cited domains and plain-language next steps

Call it over HTTP

No account and no API key. The first response is 402 Payment Required with the price; an x402-capable client pays in USDC on Base and retries. You're only charged when the call succeeds.

curl -i -X POST https://api.exepal.com/v1/ai-visibility \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"brand":"Notion","category":"note-taking app","competitors":["Obsidian","Evernote"]}'
# → 402 Payment Required (price, network: base, pay-to address)
# An x402 client pays in USDC and retries → 200 with the JSON answer

Use it from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client

Add https://api.exepal.com/mcp as a remote MCP server. The tools are ai_visibility_quick, ai_visibility, ai_visibility_deep, at the same price. Prefer a card? Add https://mcp.apify.com and ask for exepal/ai-brand-visibility.

Questions

Is this the same as SEO?

It's the AI-answer version of it. Search rank decides who gets clicked; AI answers decide who gets named. This tool measures the second.

How is the brand kept out of the prompt?

Prompts are generated from the category in buyer language, so the engines answer as they would for a real shopper.

Can I run it without crypto?

Yes. It's an Apify Actor too, billed to a card per report.
