ChatGPT answers, unedited

Yes. A number of newer AI visibility / AI share of voice (AI SOV) platforms are built specifically to show how often brands appear in AI-generated answers over time, usually benchmarked against competitors and segmented by prompts, models, and topics. HubSpot

Some options:

A few things to check before choosing:

• Prompt coverage: Does it track the questions your buyers actually ask (e.g., “best CRM for startups,” “alternatives to X,” “top vendors for Y”)?
• Model coverage: ChatGPT alone is usually not enough; look for Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI features if those matter for your audience. Siftly Allmond
• Historical trends: Make sure it stores snapshots over weeks/months rather than only giving a one-time audit. Sill
• Competitive denominator: A useful AI SOV metric should show your share relative to named competitors, not just your own mention count. HubSpot

If you tell me your industry (e.g., SaaS, healthcare, finance, ecommerce, agencies) and whether you care more about ChatGPT visibility, AI search traffic, or competitive benchmarking, I can narrow this to the best-fit tools.

Yes. There’s now a fairly mature category of AI visibility / GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platforms that specifically track AI share of voice (SOV) against competitors over time.

A few worth looking at:

The important distinction is that these aren't simply measuring "how often ChatGPT mentions my company." The better ones build a repeatable set of category/buyer prompts and calculate something closer to:

Your AI SOV = your share of brand mentions/recommendations across the relevant AI answers, relative to competitors

Then you can see whether you're going from, say, 8% → 12% → 17% while competitors move in the opposite direction. Seerly, Siftly and Signal360 explicitly support this kind of historical SOV tracking. seerly.app

One caveat

There isn't yet a universally accepted definition of "AI share of voice." Some platforms count any mention; others weight recommendations, position in the answer, sentiment, or whether you're the primary recommendation. Zumi, for example, separates mention rate, SOV, and average position, while DecaGEO weights recommendations by where they appear in the answer. www.zumihq.com

So if what you're looking for is specifically:

"Show me the AI SOV of my entire industry/category over the last 6–12 months, not just my own brand's visibility"

I'd prioritize platforms that let you define a category-level prompt set + competitor universe + historical trend, rather than just a brand visibility score.

If you tell me your industry/category, I can identify the 3–5 platforms that are most likely to have meaningful benchmark data for it and show you what their dashboards actually measure.

Yes. There’s now a fairly mature category of AI visibility / GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platforms that specifically track AI share of voice over time—essentially, “when people ask AI about my category, how often does it mention me vs. competitors?”

A few worth looking at:

• answermonk.ai — explicitly built around AI SOV. Tracks ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, with monthly trend tracking and competitor comparisons. AnswerMonk
• siftly.ai — tracks SOV across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, with daily/weekly/monthly trends. Siftly
• llmpulse.ai — particularly interesting if you want competitive intelligence: SOV by model, country, language, prompt collection, and time period. LLM Pulse
• seerly.app — has category-level SOV, competitor trends, per-engine breakdowns, and the ability to drill into the actual AI responses. Seerly
• livesov.com — tracks daily share across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok, including the underlying prompts and model outputs. Livesov
• optimizegeo.ai — broader GEO platform covering AI visibility, citations, competitors, and multiple AI engines. OptimizeGEO

The important distinction

If by “industry trends” you mean:

“Show me how AI share of voice for the entire industry is changing over time, regardless of whether I own a particular brand”

that's a little different.

Most platforms currently work by creating a fixed set of industry/buyer prompts, then repeatedly querying AI engines and calculating each brand's share. They don't necessarily provide a pre-built “AI SOV index for the entire SaaS/insurance/healthcare/etc. industry.” GetIntel

And there's an important measurement caveat: AI SOV doesn't yet have a universal definition. Different vendors use different denominators, weighting, prompt sets, sampling frequencies, and definitions of “mention” vs. “citation.” One recent analysis found that the same underlying observations could produce dramatically different SOV percentages depending on the calculation method. GetIntel

So if you're evaluating these for serious competitive research, I'd prioritize a platform that lets you see:

1. SOV by competitor
2. SOV over time
3. SOV by AI engine
4. SOV by topic / buyer intent
5. The exact prompts and AI responses behind the metric
6. Which sources/citations caused the change

That last part is especially important—you want to know why your competitor went from 12% → 24%, not just that it happened.

If you tell me your industry/category (e.g. cybersecurity, dental, B2B SaaS, insurance, ecommerce), I can identify which platform currently has the best industry-level competitive data for it and whether there are existing benchmarks you can access.

Yes. AI “share of voice” (SoV) tracking is now a real category, and several platforms specifically show how your brand compares with competitors in AI-generated answers over time.

The strongest options

If what you mean is…

“I want to know whether AI is increasingly recommending my company vs. competitors in my entire category, month by month.”

I'd look particularly closely at Semrush, Siftly, or visibility.so.

Semrush is interesting because its AI Share of Voice report explicitly plots your brand and competitors over a selected time range, rather than just giving you a current visibility score. www.semrush.comverityscore.io

Siftly similarly offers overall and per-platform SoV plus daily, weekly, and monthly trend lines. siftly.ai

visibility.so lets you track keywords in your category and see share of voice, competitor rankings, and historical week-over-week changes across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. www.semrush.comvisibility.soverityscore.io

There's also a different kind of product

If you're asking about “What percentage of AI recommendations does each company in my industry receive?” rather than tracking your own brand, HelloRanked's AI Visibility Index is particularly interesting. It publishes industry leaderboards showing brands' AI share of voice across categories such as credit cards, smartphones, laptops, etc. helloranked.com

That's closer to an industry-wide Nielsen-style AI SOV dataset.

One caveat: these numbers aren't equivalent across vendors. Each platform defines SoV somewhat differently—some count mentions, others weight position/prominence, and the underlying AI responses are nondeterministic. So I'd choose a vendor based on consistent methodology and repeated measurements, not simply the highest/lowest SOV number. www.semrush.comverityscore.io

If you tell me your industry (e.g. SaaS, insurance, restaurants, healthcare, legal, ecommerce), I can find the platform that has the best actual industry-level benchmark data, rather than just brand tracking.

Yes. This is now a fairly well-developed category, usually called AI Share of Voice (AI SOV), AI visibility, or Share of Model.

If what you mean is “How much of the AI-generated conversation in my category goes to my company vs. competitors, and how is that changing over time?”, these are the strongest options I found:

The interesting distinction

If you want “How is AI visibility changing across my industry?”, I'd start with HubSpot's AI Search Sensor. It's a free public dashboard that reports weekly visibility and citation trends by industry across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. It is specifically designed to show the broader market rather than just your own brand. www.hubspot.com

If you want “What percentage of the AI conversation belongs to my company, and how does that compare with competitors?”, Semrush is probably the most mature mainstream option. Its AI Share of Voice reporting can show your brand and competitors' SOV over a selected time period, including platform-level comparisons. www.semrush.com

For a purpose-built AI SOV dashboard, Siftly and Seerly are particularly close to what you're describing. Siftly explicitly tracks overall, platform, topic and time-based SOV, while Seerly provides category-level SOV and trend lines. siftly.ai

One caveat

“AI share of voice” isn't yet a standardized metric. Different products calculate it differently—for example, based on brand mentions, presence in answers, position, citations, or weighted combinations. www.semrush.com

So if you're trying to build a credible industry benchmark, I'd want the platform to let you control:

• the exact prompts/questions being monitored
• competitor set
• geography
• AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, etc.)
• frequency of measurement
• mention vs. citation vs. recommendation
• historical trend data

If you tell me your industry (e.g. SaaS, insurance, healthcare, ecommerce, agencies, finance), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms that actually have useful data for that industry and tell you what their dashboards/benchmarks look like.

Yes. There are now several platforms specifically built to track AI Share of Voice (AI SoV)—essentially, how often your brand gets mentioned/recommended by AI engines compared with competitors, and how that changes over time.

The strongest options

My first choice would be Ahrefs Brand Radar if you're asking, "What is happening to AI visibility across my industry?" It benchmarks your brand against competitors across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, and other surfaces. It also weights visibility by search demand, rather than treating every prompt equally. help.ahrefs.comahrefs.com

Ahrefs Brand Radar

For example, you can get something conceptually like:

AI Share of Voice — [Your Industry]

Your company: 18% → 23% → 27% ↑
Competitor A: 31% → 29% → 26% ↓
Competitor B: 17% → 19% → 22% ↑
Others: 34% → 29% → 25%

And then slice that by topic, competitor, AI platform, prompt, and time period. Ahrefs explicitly supports tracking AI SoV over time and says its prompts are derived from real search-demand data. ahrefs.com

Scrunch is particularly interesting

If what you mean by "my industry" is "show me how AI talks about my category, not just my brand," I'd seriously look at Scrunch. It can break SOV down by topic, persona, funnel stage, platform, and individual prompts, and trend those measurements over time. scrunch.com

Scrunch

Semrush is another good choice

Semrush's AI visibility product has an explicit Share of Voice report and lets you compare your brand and competitors across AI platforms and over a selected time range. www.semrush.com

Semrush

One important caveat: AI SoV isn't yet equivalent to traditional search share of voice. Different platforms can produce different answers, and the tools generally measure modeled visibility from sets of prompts rather than actual customer exposure. Ahrefs, for example, explicitly describes its SOV/impression numbers as potential visibility rather than actual audience reach. help.ahrefs.comahrefs.com

If you tell me your industry/category, I can also look at the current platforms and tell you which one can actually give you an industry-wide AI SoV trend (e.g. "SaaS: 2024–2026") rather than just tracking your own prompts.

Yes. If by “AI share of voice” you mean “what percentage of AI-generated answers/recommendations in my category mention my brand vs. competitors, and how is that changing over time?”, there are now several platforms built specifically for this.

Best options

Otterly, for example, explicitly reports Share of Voice as your percentage of brand mentions relative to competitors, and lets you view the change over time, by engine and by prompt set. otterly.aicitegap.com Seerly similarly has category-level SOV and historical trend views. seerly.app

The important distinction

There are actually two different things you might mean by “industry AI share of voice”:

1. My company's AI SOV vs. my competitors

“In AI answers about running shoes, Nike gets 40%, Adidas 20%, ASICS 13%, etc.”

These platforms are very good at this. They continuously run a defined set of prompts and calculate the competitive share. seerly.app

2. How is AI SOV changing across my entire industry?

“Over the past 12 months, how much more/less are brands in the insurance industry being mentioned by AI, and which brands are gaining?”

That's a harder dataset. Most platforms primarily give you your tracked competitive set, rather than a neutral, industry-wide benchmark. There are emerging industry benchmarks, though—for example, research has started publishing AI visibility data segmented by industries such as SaaS, healthcare, fintech and ecommerce. citegap.com

If you're evaluating this for a business

I'd probably start with Otterly if your primary question is:

“Show me our AI share of voice against competitors, by category, and how it's trending month over month.”

It has exactly that workflow and appears considerably easier to get started with than the enterprise-oriented platforms. otterly.ai

If you tell me your industry + 3–10 competitors, I can also look at what's available specifically for your category and tell you which platform has the best industry-level benchmark data, rather than just brand-level tracking.

Yes. There’s now a fairly mature category for this, usually called AI search visibility, AI share of voice (SOV), or GEO/AEO monitoring.

If your goal is specifically “How much of my industry’s AI-generated conversation do I own, and is that changing over time?”, I’d look at these:

Semrush is particularly close to what you're describing: its Enterprise AIO product has an AI Share of Voice metric and a chart showing how your SOV and competitors' SOV change over a selected period. www.semrush.com

OtterlyAI is another strong fit. It explicitly reports “Share of AI Voice,” competitor visibility, and changes across time, with filtering by engine, country, prompt type, and date range. otterly.ai

Siftly is worth looking at if SOV itself is the KPI you care about. It tracks overall and per-platform SOV and provides daily/weekly/monthly trend lines. siftly.ai

One important distinction

There are really two different things you might mean by “industry trend”:

1. My company's AI SOV over time

“We were 8% in January, 12% in March, 18% today.”

Most of the platforms above do this well.

2. The entire industry's AI SOV trend over time

“In SaaS, Brand A went from 25% → 31%, Brand B from 18% → 12%, and the category is increasingly dominated by 5 brands.”

This is harder. Most platforms let you define a prompt set/category and track the competitive landscape, but they aren't necessarily giving you a neutral, industry-wide benchmark database. For example, Semrush calculates SOV based on mentions/position within the tracked prompt universe. www.semrush.com

There are also emerging industry benchmark datasets. Foglift, for example, has published cross-industry AI-search visibility benchmarks, while other vendors are building category-level benchmarks. foglift.io

If you tell me your industry (e.g. SaaS, insurance, legal, healthcare, ecommerce, etc.), I can find the platforms that have actual benchmarks for that industry—not just tools that track your own brand—and tell you which one is closest to an “AI share of voice Nielsen” for your market.

Yes. There are now several platforms specifically built to track AI share of voice (SOV)—i.e., how often your brand appears/recommended versus competitors in AI answers, and how that changes over time.

A few worth looking at:

• Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit — Probably the most established option if you already use Semrush. It tracks AI SOV against competitors and lets you see the trend over a selected period, across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI surfaces. www.semrush.com
• Siftly — More narrowly focused on AI visibility. It tracks SOV across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews with daily/weekly/monthly trends. siftly.ai
• Seerly — Tracks live prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and other engines, including category-level competitive SOV and historical trends. seerly.app
• SERPrecon — Interesting if you want traditional SEO + AI SOV in one view, with historical SOV by competitor/domain/keyword. www.serprecon.compopsight.ai
• Orbilo — Tracks AI visibility and competitive SOV across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Grok, including trends over time. orbilo.co

The important distinction

If by "my industry" you mean:

"Show me the AI share of voice for the entire category—e.g. which brands dominate AI recommendations in accounting software—and let me watch that market change month by month."

then Semrush, Siftly, Seerly, and Orbilo are particularly close to what you're describing.

If instead you mean:

"Give me an industry-wide benchmark even if I don't specify my competitors, and tell me what % of AI answers each major brand owns."

that's a slightly different product. Some platforms build the benchmark from a defined prompt/category set, but there isn't yet a universally accepted "Nielsen ratings for AI" dataset. The methodology matters because AI engines can give materially different visibility results for the same brands. popsight.ai

If you tell me your industry/category, I can identify which platform has the best coverage for it and what you'd actually be able to see over time.

Yes. There are now several platforms specifically built to track AI share of voice (SoV)—i.e., how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers relative to competitors—and, importantly, show the trend over time.

Best options

Semrush is probably the closest match to what you're describing. Its AI Visibility Toolkit explicitly calculates AI SoV relative to competitors and lets you see how that share changes over a selected period. www.semrush.com

For example, you can get something conceptually like:

AI Share of Voice — Project Management Software

Your brand: 14% → 19% ↑
Competitor A: 22% → 18% ↓
Competitor B: 11% → 15% ↑
Competitor C: 9% → 8%

ChatGPT: 21%
Perplexity: 16%
Gemini: 12%
Google AI: 18%

And then drill into which prompts/topics are responsible for the movement.

Ahrefs is particularly interesting if by "industry trends" you mean something broader than my brand vs. my competitors. Brand Radar combines historical AI visibility with competitor comparison and topic/prompt analysis. ahrefs.com

One important distinction

There are really two different things you might mean by "AI share of voice":

1. My brand's AI SoV over time

"Are we gaining or losing visibility against competitors?"
→ Semrush, Ahrefs, Otterly, LLMrefs, etc.

2. The entire industry's AI SoV trend over time

"How is AI visibility distributed across my category, even beyond the brands we're already tracking?"
→ This is harder. Some platforms give you category/market benchmarks, but there isn't yet a universally accepted equivalent of Nielsen/Comscore for AI answers.

Semrush is getting particularly close to the second use case: its 2026 AI Visibility Index analyzed 126 million U.S. AI search prompts and provides industry-level visibility analysis. www.semrush.com

If you tell me your industry/category (e.g. cybersecurity, SaaS, insurance, healthcare, ecommerce), I can identify which platform has the strongest actual industry-level data for it, rather than just generic brand tracking.

Yes. There’s now a small but growing category of AI search / AI visibility platforms that track “share of voice” across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, etc., and show how it changes over time.

The ones I’d look at

Scrunch explicitly lets you see competitive presence by topic and track the trend over a selected period, including the last 12 weeks. It can segment by AI platform, topic, persona, funnel stage, country, and branded/non-branded prompts. scrunch.com

Profound is probably the closest match if by “industry trends” you mean “How is AI visibility changing across my entire category, not just my own tracked prompts?” Its new Profound Index measures category-level Share of Voice, Visibility Score, Citation Share, co-citations and competitor mentions, and breaks the data down by industry, topic cluster and LLM. www.tryprofound.com

Peec is a simpler option: it explicitly tracks share of voice against competitors plus visibility, ranking position and sentiment over time. peec.ai

One important caveat

These aren't equivalent to Google Search Console's impression/share-of-search data. The AI platforms generally don't expose actual aggregate user-query/impression data for your brand, so these products measure visibility by repeatedly running a defined set of prompts and analyzing the resulting AI answers. scrunch.com

That means I'd distinguish between:

“My brand's AI SOV”

Of the prompts I'm tracking, how often does my brand appear versus competitors?

and

“AI SOV for my industry”

Across the universe of questions consumers ask about my category, what percentage of AI visibility does each brand own, and is that percentage changing?

The second is much more interesting for market intelligence, and Profound's Index is particularly designed around it. www.tryprofound.com

If you tell me your industry/category, I can also look up which platform currently has the best coverage/data for that specific industry and show you what the actual trend dashboard looks like.

Yes. A new category of tools has emerged for this: AI visibility / AI search optimization platforms. They track how often your brand appears in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc., and some provide AI Share of Voice (SOV) trends over time. www.shadow.incwww.hubspot.com

Some platforms to look at:

A typical dashboard looks something like:

• AI Share of Voice: “Our brand appears in 18% of category answers; competitor A appears in 31%”
• Trend line: weekly/monthly movement
• Platform breakdown: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Perplexity
• Prompt-level visibility: “best CRM for startups,” “top accounting software,” etc.
• Citation analysis: which websites/sources AI systems rely on when mentioning competitors scrunch.com

A few caveats:

• The market is still immature; there is no universal “Google Analytics for AI answers.” Different vendors use different prompt sets and scoring methods, so SOV numbers are not always directly comparable. searchengineland.com
• The most meaningful setup is usually a fixed set of industry prompts + competitor list + monthly tracking, rather than trying to measure every possible AI query. www.frictionai.co

If you tell me your industry (e.g., SaaS, insurance, healthcare, ecommerce, finance) and whether you care more about ChatGPT visibility, AI search rankings, or competitor benchmarking, I can narrow this down to the best-fit platforms.

Yes. What you’re looking for is usually called AI Share of Voice (AI SOV), AI visibility, or AEO/GEO tracking.

A few platforms now specifically track it over time:

If you mean "show me the whole industry's trend"

That's the interesting distinction.

Most tools are better at:

My brand vs. competitors → AI SOV over time

rather than:

My entire industry → AI SOV/visibility trends over time

Semrush is probably the closest mainstream option because it has both competitive AI visibility tracking and large-scale industry-level research. Its 2026 AI Visibility Index analyzed 126 million AI search prompts and provides visibility benchmarks across brands and categories. www.semrush.com

For example, you could want a dashboard like:

AI Share of Voice — SaaS / CRM

                 Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul
Salesforce        31%   29%   28%   27%   25%   24%   22%
HubSpot           24%   25%   26%   27%   29%   30%   31%
Microsoft         18%   18%   17%   18%   18%   19%   20%
Other             27%   28%   29%   28%   28%   27%   27%

And then break it down by prompt/topic, AI platform, competitor, citation share, and sentiment/position.

One caveat: AI SOV is still a relatively young metric. Different platforms define and sample it differently, and AI responses can vary from run to run, so I would not compare SOV percentages from two different vendors as if they were the same measurement. arxiv.org

If you tell me your industry (and ideally 3–5 competitors), I can identify the platform that gives you the closest thing to an industry-wide AI SOV trend dashboard, rather than just a brand-monitoring tool.

Yes. There’s now a growing category of AI visibility / AEO / GEO platforms that track something very close to “AI share of voice”: how often your brand is mentioned or recommended in AI answers compared with competitors, and how that changes over time. visibilityvalidator.com

A few worth looking at:

The important distinction

If what you really want is:

“Show me how much of the AI conversation my industry owns, who is gaining/losing share, and how that has changed over the last 6–12 months.”

then Seerly, Siftly, and Semrush are probably the first three I'd investigate. Seerly, for example, explicitly provides category-level SOV, competitor shares, historical trend lines, and per-engine breakdowns. seerly.app

But there's a caveat: AI SOV isn't yet as standardized as Google search share of voice. Different platforms sample different prompts, engines, locations, and numbers of runs. Recent research also suggests substantial differences between AI engines, so an aggregate number can hide important variation. machinerelations.ai

If you're thinking about this from a market-intelligence / strategy perspective, rather than just monitoring your own brand, I can also identify the platforms that let you see AI SOV for an entire industry/category—even if you aren't a customer of the platform's own brand-tracking product. That's a slightly different and more interesting use case.

Yes. A few platforms now specifically track AI Share of Voice (AI SOV) — i.e., how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers compared with competitors across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc., and how that changes over time. www.hubspot.com

Some options:

A few things to watch out for:

• There is no universal AI SOV standard yet. Different tools use different prompt sets, models, and weighting methods, so a 15% SOV in one platform may not equal 15% in another. searchengineland.com
• The best tools let you define:
  • your industry/category
  • competitor set
  • buyer-intent prompts (e.g., “best CRM for startups,” “alternatives to Salesforce”)
  • geography/language
  • model coverage (ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude, etc.) scrunch.com

If you’re trying to answer “are we gaining or losing visibility in AI recommendations compared with competitors?”, I’d prioritize platforms that show:

1. historical trend lines,
2. competitor share,
3. exact prompts where you win/lose,
4. citations/sources causing the visibility.

If you tell me your industry (e.g., SaaS, healthcare, finance, ecommerce, local services) and whether you care more about ChatGPT/Gemini visibility or AI search traffic, I can narrow this down.

Yes. There’s now a fairly mature category of AI search / AI visibility platforms that track your brand’s “share of voice” across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, etc., and show how it changes over time.

Platforms I’d look at

For example, Otterly explicitly tracks Share of AI Voice, competitor visibility, citations, and changes in brand mentions over time. otterly.ai Seerly similarly provides category-level SOV, competitor comparisons, per-engine breakdowns, and historical trends. seerly.app

If what you mean is industry-level SOV

This distinction is important.

If you want:

“What percentage of the AI conversation does my company own in my industry, and how has that changed month by month?”

then Peec, Profound, Otterly, or Seerly are probably closer to what you're looking for.

You'd define a set of industry prompts such as:

• “Best [category] companies”
• “Top [category] providers”
• “Best [product] for [use case]”
• “[Category] alternatives”
• “Compare X vs Y”
• “What should a [buyer persona] look for when choosing [category]?”

The platform repeatedly runs those prompts and calculates something like:

AI Share of Voice = your brand's appearances / total brand appearances across tracked answers

Then you can see, for example:

Your company: 18% → 24% → 31%
Competitor A: 27% → 25% → 22%
Competitor B: 14% → 17% → 19%

That is much more useful than simply asking whether ChatGPT mentions your company.

One caveat: AI SOV isn't yet as standardized as traditional SEO rankings. Different platforms define “visibility,” “mention,” “citation,” and SOV somewhat differently, and AI answers can vary from run to run. Recent research also finds substantial variability across engines and measurement approaches. arxiv.org

If you tell me your industry (e.g. SaaS, insurance, healthcare, legal, cybersecurity, restaurants, etc.), I can recommend the 2–3 platforms that are actually best for that industry and show you exactly what their SOV dashboards look like.

Yes. A new category of platforms has emerged specifically to measure AI share of voice (AI SoV) or AI visibility—essentially the equivalent of SEO rank tracking for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

The leading options are:

What they typically measure

Instead of keywords, these platforms run hundreds or thousands of prompts such as:

• "Best payroll software"
• "Top CRM for startups"
• "Who are the leading cybersecurity consultants?"

They then track:

• Share of voice (% of AI answers mentioning your brand)
• Visibility over time (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Competitor comparisons
• Platform-specific performance (ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude vs Perplexity)
• Citation sources used by the AI
• Prompt-level changes (where you gained or lost visibility) www.semrush.comsiftly.ai

If you're interested in industry-wide trends

If your goal is broader than your own brand—for example:

"How has AI visibility in legal software changed over the last year?"

or

"Which brands are gaining mindshare in fintech AI recommendations?"

only a handful of enterprise platforms currently support this well. Profound, Semrush Enterprise, and several newer AI visibility platforms let you define an entire market, monitor multiple competitors, and chart category-level AI share of voice over time. www.semrush.com

One limitation

These tools don't have historical data before you start tracking. Most begin collecting data from the day you add your prompts and competitors. If you want to know what AI share of voice looked like six months ago, that's generally not available because AI responses are dynamic and weren't archived comprehensively. www.reddit.com

If your objective is competitive intelligence, a good setup is to:

1. Define 100–500 high-value prompts for your industry.
2. Track your brand plus 5–10 competitors.
3. Monitor AI share of voice weekly across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI features.
4. Correlate changes with content launches, PR, or product announcements.

If you tell me your industry (for example, cybersecurity, healthcare, HR software, ecommerce, financial services, etc.), I can recommend the platforms that tend to perform best for that specific market and budget.

Yes. This has become a new software category over the past year, often called AI visibility, LLM visibility, or AI share of voice (AI SoV). These platforms track how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers, compare you to competitors, and show trends over time across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI features. www.semrush.comsearchengineland.com

Here are the strongest options:

A few things to know before investing:

• These tools don't measure the entire AI ecosystem. They sample a curated set of prompts that represent your industry and repeatedly query AI models. The "share of voice" is therefore an estimate based on that prompt set, not a universal market share. www.semrush.comsearchengineland.com
• The best platforms let you:
  • Define your own prompt library (e.g., "best CRM for manufacturers")
  • Track competitors
  • Break down results by AI platform
  • See historical trends
  • Review the actual AI responses that caused changes

For most B2B companies, I'd currently recommend:

• Enterprise (>$100M revenue): Profound or Semrush Enterprise AIO.
• Mid-market: Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit.
• Startup/SMB: Peec AI, Otterly AI, or LLM Pulse.

If you're asking about your industry specifically, some vendors have vertical benchmarks (for SaaS, healthcare, finance, ecommerce, etc.), but many instead let you define your own competitive set and prompts, which usually produces more actionable data than relying on a generic industry benchmark. www.semrush.comsearchengineland.com

If you tell me your industry (for example, cybersecurity, fintech, legal, manufacturing, healthcare, or ecommerce), I can recommend the platforms that provide the most useful tracking for that market and explain how to build an AI share-of-voice dashboard that reflects buyer behavior.

Yes. A new category of tools has emerged specifically to measure AI share of voice (AI SoV) or AI visibility—essentially, how often your brand appears in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and similar systems over time.

The strongest options today are:

Most of these measure similar metrics, including:

• AI share of voice
• Brand mention frequency
• Visibility by LLM (ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude, etc.)
• Trends over weeks and months
• Competitor benchmarking
• Prompt-level performance ("Which prompts recommend Competitor A instead of us?")
• Citation sources (which websites the AI relied on)
• Sentiment and positioning in answers peec.ai

One thing to keep in mind is that these tools don't measure all AI conversations. Instead, they repeatedly run a curated set of prompts (often hundreds or thousands) and track how the responses change over time. Because AI outputs vary, the trend over many prompt runs is much more meaningful than any single day's score. docs.peec.ai

If you're interested in industry-wide trends (not just your own brand), there are two approaches:

• Track your own prompt set. For example, if you're in cybersecurity, monitor prompts like "best MDR vendors," "SOC alternatives," and "cloud security tools." This gives you your industry's AI share-of-voice trend over time.
• Use benchmark reports. Some vendors publish cross-industry AI visibility benchmarks and annual reports showing average share of voice, citation rates, and category leaders. athenahq.ai

If you're evaluating platforms, I'd generally break them down this way:

• Enterprise: Profound
• Best balance of capability and usability: Peec AI
• Most focused on AI search optimization (GEO/AEO): AthenaHQ
• Budget-friendly: Otterly AI

If you tell me your industry (for example, SaaS, legal, healthcare, fintech, ecommerce, B2B manufacturing, etc.), I can recommend the tools that tend to perform best for that specific market and explain how to build an AI share-of-voice dashboard for it.

Yes. A new category of tools has emerged specifically to measure AI share of voice (AI SoV) or AI visibility—how often your brand appears in responses from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and similar systems.

The strongest options if you want historical trends are:

Among these, Semrush Enterprise AIO has one of the clearest time-series views. It tracks AI share of voice across selected prompts and competitors and plots changes over time rather than just providing a snapshot. www.semrush.com

What these platforms actually measure

Most track metrics such as:

• AI share of voice (% of AI answers mentioning your brand)
• Mention frequency
• Citation frequency
• Sources AI cites
• Competitor comparisons
• Prompt-level rankings
• Sentiment and positioning
• Visibility by AI engine (ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity)

Rather than looking at Google keywords, they repeatedly run hundreds or thousands of prompts and measure how AI responses change over weeks and months. askylabs.com

If you want industry trends—not just your brand

This is where things get trickier.

Most platforms are designed for your brand versus competitors, not "the entire fintech industry" or "all healthcare companies."

The better enterprise tools let you:

• define an industry prompt set
• choose competitors
• monitor everyone over time
• identify which brands are gaining AI visibility

That's about as close as you'll get to an "industry AI share of voice index."

One important caveat

AI share of voice is still an evolving metric. Because AI models change frequently and every platform samples a finite set of prompts, the numbers should be treated as directional trends rather than precise market-share figures. Many experts recommend focusing on month-over-month movement, prompt coverage, and citation quality instead of a single percentage. searchengineland.com

If your goal is competitive intelligence (e.g., "Which insurance brands are gaining visibility in ChatGPT?"), these tools are well suited. If your goal is industry-wide benchmarking across thousands of companies, there isn't yet a Bloomberg-style public index for AI share of voice.

If you tell me your industry (for example, cybersecurity, legal tech, healthcare, fintech, ecommerce, or SaaS), I can recommend the platform that tends to have the best coverage for that vertical.

Yes. There are now several platforms specifically built to track AI Share of Voice (AI SOV) — i.e., how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers versus competitors, and how that changes over time across tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. www.hubspot.comsiftly.ai

A few options:

A few things to watch for when evaluating them:

• Prompt set methodology: The best tools let you define the actual buyer questions in your industry (e.g., “best CRM for startups,” “top accounting firms,” “enterprise cybersecurity vendors”) rather than using a generic score. www.frictionai.co
• Competitor benchmarking: You want a view like “Brand A 32%, Brand B 24%, Brand C 18%” over a consistent prompt set. www.hubspot.comsiftly.ai
• Platform breakdown: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI experiences can produce different results, so platform-level trends matter. www.hubspot.comsiftly.ai
• Citation tracking: Mentions alone can be misleading; seeing which websites, reviews, publications, or datasets AI systems cite is often more actionable. www.skulift.comscrunch.com

If you’re looking for an “industry benchmark dashboard” (e.g., “AI SOV for all major SaaS companies in cybersecurity over the last 12 months”), the market is still immature. Most tools are designed around your brand + your chosen competitors + your tracked prompts, rather than a universal industry index. searchengineland.com

If you tell me your industry (e.g., fintech, healthcare, SaaS, ecommerce, agencies) and whether you care about B2B or consumer, I can suggest the best-fit tool and setup.
