Gemini
TRACKER
See whether Google Gemini mentions your brand. The CITED Gemini tracker runs the buyer questions people ask Gemini, shows if you are named, who it recommends instead, and what to fix to get cited.
Gemini brand monitoring, rank tracking, and visibility checks in one place. Find out if your brand shows up in Google Gemini, track your Gemini mention rate across buyer prompts, and see who Gemini names when it does not name you. Prefer to track brand mentions in Gemini by hand first? See the manual method below. Start with a free AI visibility check, or read what AI SEO is first.
What is a Gemini tracker?
A Gemini tracker checks whether Google Gemini mentions your brand when people ask it for recommendations. Because Gemini grounds its answers in Google Search but reorders the sources, a strong Google ranking does not guarantee a mention. CITED runs this as a free instant check and tracks your Gemini visibility score over time.
What a Gemini tracker actually shows you
Gemini grounds answers in Google Search, then reorders them
Gemini pulls from Google Search but does not keep your ranking order. A page that ranks first on Google can be missing from Gemini's answer entirely, while a weaker page gets cited. Your Google rank and your Gemini visibility are two different scores.
Gemini is everywhere Google is
Gemini runs across Search, Workspace, Android, and Chrome, and it powers Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode. Your visibility in Gemini quietly shapes what hundreds of millions of people see across the entire Google ecosystem.
Your Gemini score, tracked separately from your Google rank
Track brand mentions and citations in Gemini across the questions your buyers actually ask, see which competitors own the answers you are missing, and confirm each fix lifts your Gemini visibility.
You can track brand mentions in Gemini yourself, or automate it
The manual version: ask Gemini your real buyer questions in a fresh chat, note whether you are named and which sources it cites, and repeat monthly on the same list. Gemini shows its grounding sources more openly than most engines, so a competitor's cited page (not just their name) is often visible even when you are not.
How Gemini decides
which brands to name
Gemini sits on top of Google's index, which makes it the most SEO-adjacent of the AI engines: the pages Google cannot crawl are the pages Gemini cannot use. But the step from index to answer is where most brands lose the spot, and it works nothing like a ranking.
One question is fanned out into several searches
Gemini rewrites your buyer's question into a handful of related queries and runs them all. You are competing for a set of searches nobody types, which is why keyword rank tracking misses this entirely.
It retrieves from Google's index, so crawlability is the floor
If a page is blocked, needs JavaScript to render its main content, or has never been crawled, it cannot be used. This is the one place where classic technical SEO maps directly onto AI visibility.
It scores passages, not pages
Gemini lifts the specific paragraph that answers the sub-question. A 3,000-word guide that buries the answer in the middle loses to a page that states it plainly in two sentences under a matching heading.
It names brands, and separately decides whether to link
A mention and a citation are two different outcomes. You can be named in the answer with no link, or linked without being recommended. Track both, because only one of them sends traffic.
Two different scoreboards
| Aspect | Classic Google search | Gemini |
|---|---|---|
| How you appear | A ranked link in Google results | Cited inside Gemini's grounded answer |
| What wins the spot | Your Google ranking order | Gemini's own reordering of those sources |
| How many sources show | The whole results page | A handful of grounded sources |
| How you measure it | Position in Google | Gemini mention and citation rate |

Gemini tracker FAQ
What is a Gemini tracker?
A Gemini tracker checks whether Google Gemini mentions your brand when people ask it for recommendations, measures how often you are named across buyer prompts, and shows which competitors it cites instead. CITED runs this as a free instant check and tracks the score over time.
How do I check if my brand shows up in Google Gemini?
Enter your website into the CITED checker. It runs the buyer questions a customer would ask Gemini in your category, detects whether your brand is named, and returns a visibility score plus the prompts where you are invisible.
Why does my brand rank on Google but not appear in Gemini?
Gemini grounds its answers in Google Search but reorders and filters the sources, so a top Google ranking does not carry over. Gemini favours pages that clearly and directly answer the question, which is why a strong rank can still mean zero Gemini mentions.
Does Gemini cite sources?
Yes. Gemini draws on Google Search results and can surface the pages behind its answers. The tracker shows whether your domain is among the brands and sources it pulls from, and who is cited when you are not.
How often is Gemini visibility updated?
Because Gemini is grounded in live search, its answers change as the web changes. Check your baseline now and re-check after each content, schema, or off-site change. Monthly tracking is enough to catch movement and confirm your fixes.
Is the Gemini tracker free?
Yes. The instant Gemini visibility check is free, with no login or credit card. You enter your website and get your score, the competitors named instead, and what to fix. CITED's hands-on tracking and optimisation across the AI engines is the paid service the free check leads into.
How accurate is one Gemini check?
One check is a snapshot, not a verdict. Because Gemini is grounded in live search, its answers shift as the web changes, so treat the first check as your baseline and watch the trend across repeated runs.
How do I track brand mentions in Gemini manually?
Ask Gemini the real buyer questions your customers use, in a fresh conversation each time, and log whether you are named and which sources it cites alongside the answer. Repeat monthly, since Gemini's grounding shifts as the web changes. This tracker runs the same check for you automatically.
Is there a dedicated tool to monitor brand mentions in Gemini?
Yes. CITED's free Gemini tracker runs your buyer questions and reports your mention rate and cited sources in about 15 seconds, alongside the free checker covering ChatGPT and Perplexity too.
How does Gemini decide which brands to cite?
It fans your question out into several related searches, retrieves pages from Google's index, and scores individual passages rather than whole documents. The brands that get named are the ones whose pages answer a sub-question plainly and whose description is consistent across several independent sources. Crawlability is the floor: a page Google cannot render without JavaScript is a page Gemini cannot cite.
What is the difference between a Gemini mention and a Gemini citation?
A mention is your brand name appearing in the answer text. A citation is a link to your page in the source list. They are decided separately: you can be recommended with no link, or linked without being recommended. The mention shapes the buyer's shortlist, the citation sends the traffic, so a tracker that reports only one of them is showing you half the picture.
