# Gemini visibility tracker: see whether Gemini names your brand.

Ranksmile tracks Google's Gemini assistant for the questions your buyers ask: whether it names your brand, whether it cites your site, and which competitors and sources it picks instead. Every answer is stored with the searches Gemini ran, next to Google AI Overviews and AI Mode for the same prompts.

## What the Gemini tracker records

Ranksmile collects the answer the Gemini app gives, with its sources and the searches it ran. If the app gives no answer, it asks Google's Gemini API with Google Search grounding instead.

| Measure | What Ranksmile keeps |
| --- | --- |
| Mentions | Whether Gemini names your brand in its answer, per prompt |
| Citations | Whether Gemini links your domain as a source, recorded apart from mentions |
| Sources | Every cited URL, labeled editorial, UGC, reference, institutional, corporate or competitor, with the brands it names |
| Competitors | The brands named beside you or instead of you, prompt by prompt |
| Sentiment | How each mention speaks of the brand |
| Fan-out queries | The searches Gemini ran before answering |
| History | Every scan is kept, so each metric shows its change since the last one |
| Market | Your site's country and language by default; a CSV upload can set a country per prompt |
| Refresh | Weekly on Growth, daily on Scale and Agency; new prompts right away |
| Plans | Every paid plan (the Growth trial runs ChatGPT and AI Overviews only) |
| How it is collected | The Gemini app answer; the grounded Gemini API as a fallback |

## Your questions, answered

### How is Gemini different from AI Overviews?

Both are Google, but they answer differently: AI Overviews sit on top of search results, Gemini is the assistant people open instead of searching. Ranksmile tracks them as separate engines, so you can see where Google names you and where it does not.

### Which plans include Gemini?

Every paid plan tracks Gemini. During the 7-day Growth trial prompts run on ChatGPT and AI Overviews, and Gemini starts once the plan is paid.
