The Short Version
Promptwatch is the AI search visibility and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform that turns AI search into a revenue channel. It tracks how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Copilot and other AI engines mention, rank and cite a brand, explains why (through citations, AI crawler logs and content gaps), and then fixes it: Content Agents write and publish the pages AI cites, Agent Chat analyzes the data on demand and the Action Board tells teams exactly what to do next. Visitor analytics close the loop by measuring the traffic and conversions AI search sends.

Why Promptwatch
AI assistants are where buyers now research, compare and shortlist. If an AI model doesn't recommend a brand, that brand isn't in the consideration set. Most "AI visibility" tools stop at telling you whether you were mentioned. Promptwatch is built to grow that visibility and prove the revenue impact.
| Prompt tracker | Promptwatch (AI visibility platform) |
|---|---|
| Was my brand mentioned? | How often, how prominently, in what tone, and versus which competitors |
| Lists mentions | Shows which pages, domains, Reddit threads, YouTube videos and LinkedIn posts AI cites, and where in the source list |
| No insight into AI crawlers | Real-time AI crawler logs showing what AI bots read on your site and where they fail |
| No traffic measurement | Visitor analytics attributing visits and conversions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and other AI sources |
| Monitoring only | Content Agents that write and publish to your CMS, and Content Refresh that updates existing pages |
| No way to tell if content worked | Tracks every published page through crawls, citations, AI traffic and Search Console / Bing data, then suggests fixes |
| Only AI data | AI visibility side by side with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster data |
| Dashboards | Agent Chat: an AI analyst built into the platform with access to all your data, also in Slack |
Proof points:
- Crisp found AI traffic converts at 2x the rate of traditional channels and scaled to 5–10 AI-optimized articles per day. Case study
- TreeHouse (Pararius, Huurwoningen.nl) grew AI search to ~25% of organic conversions, 99% of it from ChatGPT. Case study
- Monks turns AI citation gaps into content roadmaps for clients such as Netflix, BMW, Asana and Paycor. Case study
- OpenUp moved from intuition-based content planning to a prompt-led GEO strategy. Case study
How Promptwatch Works
Promptwatch is organized as one loop. Each step feeds the next, all inside one product.
- Monitor what AI says about your brand: prompts, responses, visibility, sentiment, competitors.
- Trace where AI gets its answers: citations, offsite mentions, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn.
- Act on the gaps: the Action Board, Content Agents, Content Refresh and Agent Chat.
- Measure the impact on your own site: AI crawler logs, visitor analytics, Search Console and Bing data.
A one-page tour of every screen is in the Product map. New users start with the Quickstart.
Monitored AI Engines
Promptwatch collects responses from the real user interfaces of the major AI platforms, not only from APIs, so the data matches what people actually see. Every prompt runs across the models, countries and languages you choose. New models are added as they launch and deprecated models are retired automatically. See Choosing your models.
AI assistants and answer engines:
- ChatGPT (with web search)
- Google AI Overviews
- Google AI Mode
- Google Gemini
- Perplexity
- Microsoft Copilot
- Anthropic Claude
- Grok
- DeepSeek
- Mistral
- Amazon Alexa

Metrics
Promptwatch condenses every AI answer into a small set of clearly defined metrics. Full definitions: Metrics overview.
- Visibility Score (0–100): how prominently a brand appears when AI answers tracked prompts. Each response is scored on placement, share of attention and depth, then averaged; responses that don't mention the brand count as zero. Docs
- Share of Voice: a brand's slice of all brand mentions in the current filters, one mention per response per brand. Docs
- Position: where a brand lands in the order of brands within an answer, averaged across responses that mention it. Lower is better. Docs
- Sentiment score (0–100): how positively AI describes the brand, around 50 being neutral, scored independently of visibility. Docs
- Citation rank: where a brand's own domain lands in an answer's source list. Closer to 1 means the content is a primary source. Docs
- Self-citation rate: the share of citations that point at the brand's own domain rather than third-party pages. Docs
Read together, they locate the problem: low Share of Voice means a coverage problem, late Position means a prominence problem, mentions without self-citations mean a content or crawlability problem, and weak sentiment means a reputation problem. See Citations vs. mentions and Why did my score drop?.

What sets Promptwatch apart:
Most GEO tools are dashboards: they report a score and leave the work to you. Promptwatch does the work and then checks whether it worked.
- It writes the content AI cites. Content Agents find the prompts where you're missing, write GEO-optimized pages from your Knowledge Base, brand voice and real citation data, and publish them straight to WordPress, Webflow or Framer on a schedule. Teams can review every draft or run it fully automated.
- It refreshes the content you already have. Content Refresh rewrites existing pages with diff-style suggestions based on content gaps and what AI currently cites, so older pages keep earning citations instead of decaying.
- It verifies that content works, then fixes what doesn't. After a page goes live, Promptwatch tracks it end to end: whether AI crawlers read it (Agent Analytics), whether AI engines cite it (Page Tracker), whether it sends AI traffic and conversions (Visitor Analytics) and how it performs in classic search. Pages that underperform come back as actions and refresh suggestions. That closed loop of write, publish, measure and improve is what most competitors lack.
- An AI agent built into the platform. Agent Chat is an AI search analyst with access to all of your data: prompts, responses, citations, competitors, crawler logs, traffic and search data. It runs multi-step analyses, renders charts, runs scheduled briefings and works in Slack, so teams get answers and next steps without building reports.
- Google Search Console and Bing data alongside AI data. Connect Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and Search Insights overlays clicks and impressions with AI crawls, citations and AI clicks per page and topic. Search Console queries also feed the Prompt Explorer, so you track the prompts your audience actually asks.
- A prioritized Action Board, not just a score. Every gap in content, sentiment, Reddit, offsite mentions, site health and performance becomes a ranked action with a weekly digest. Action Board
- The complete stack in one product: prompt tracking with volumes and fanouts, citations, offsite mentions, AI crawler logs, visitor analytics, site health audits, shopping, ads, content generation and CMS publishing. No stitching tools together.
- Crawl-to-citation visibility: connects what AI bots read on your site to what they cite, so teams know whether to fix access or content.
- Revenue attribution: visitor analytics tie AI visibility to real traffic and conversions.
- Community sources: dedicated Reddit, YouTube and LinkedIn citation reports.
- Broadest engine coverage: answer engines, Google's AI surfaces, Amazon Alexa and AI coding agents like Codex and Claude Code.
- Real UI data from the interfaces people use, and value per response with multiple models and locations included.
What Promptwatch is not: not a chatbot, LLM or search engine; not a model benchmark or leaderboard (it ranks brands inside AI answers, not models); not a developer LLM-observability tool; and not a classic SERP rank tracker, although it brings in Google Search Console and Bing data.
