What Rankshift tracks in Gemini

Gemini answers a question in a conversation, names a few brands and sometimes links its sources. Rankshift records all three for every prompt you track, each time it runs.

  • Visibility

    The share of Gemini answers that name your brand, per prompt and overall.

  • Position

    Where you appear among the brands in the answer: first, second or last.

  • Share of voice

    Your mentions as a share of all brand mentions, next to your competitors.

  • Citations

    The domains and URLs Gemini links to, and how often your own site is one of them.

  • Sentiment

    Whether Gemini describes you in positive, neutral or negative terms.

  • Countries and languages

    Each prompt tracked in the countries and languages you sell in.

Prompts

How often Gemini names you, prompt by prompt

Add the questions your buyers ask. Rankshift runs each one in Gemini, stores the full answer and marks your brand and your competitors in it. You see where you are named and where you are missing.

  • Full answer stored for every run
  • Visibility per prompt and for the whole project
  • Filter by persona, scenario or tag
Tracking over time

One answer is not a measurement

Ask Gemini the same question twice and the brands can change. Rankshift repeats every prompt on the schedule you set and reports visibility as a share of all runs, so one lucky or unlucky answer does not decide your number.

  • Daily or weekly runs, set per prompt
  • History per brand, prompt and model
  • Unlimited countries and languages
Competitors

Which competitors Gemini names next to you

Add your competitors and Rankshift counts them in the same answers. You get visibility and share of voice per brand, plus the position of each brand in the answer, so you know who Gemini puts first.

  • Visibility, share of voice and sentiment per brand
  • Position of each brand in the answer
  • Compared on every prompt you track
Citations

Which sources Gemini cites

Gemini adds sources to some answers, not to all of them. When it does, Rankshift lists every cited domain and URL on your prompts and shows how often your own site is among them. Mentions and citations are counted separately, because Gemini often names a brand without linking to it.

  • Cited domains and URLs, ranked by frequency
  • Your own citation rate next to competitors
  • Review sites and articles where you are missing
Across models

Gemini next to ChatGPT, AI Mode and AI Overviews

Google answers with AI in three places: the Gemini assistant, AI Mode in Google Search and AI Overviews above the search results. Rankshift tracks them as separate models and runs the same prompts on each, and on ChatGPT, Perplexity and others, so you can see where your brand is strong and where it falls behind.

  • Visibility and citation rate per model
  • The same prompt set on every model you select
  • Nine AI models, including AI Mode and AI Overviews
Action Center

Actions based on what Gemini says and cites

Tracking shows where you stand. The Action Center turns what Rankshift finds in the answers into tasks: a page to update, a publication to pitch, a comparison article to get listed in. Each task is tied to the prompts and sources behind it and lands on a board your team can work through.

  • Prioritized by expected impact on your visibility
  • Based on the answers and sources from your prompts
  • One board for outreach, page updates and community replies

FAQ

Questions about Gemini visibility tracking

What is a Gemini visibility tracker?

A Gemini visibility tracker runs a fixed set of prompts in Gemini on a schedule and records the answers. From those answers it reports how often your brand is named, where it sits in the answer, which sources are cited and how you compare with competitors.

How does Rankshift collect Gemini answers?

Rankshift runs your prompts in Gemini and stores the full answer with any sources it cites. From each answer it records mentions, citations, sentiment and share of voice, for your brand and your competitors. You choose how often each prompt runs, daily or weekly.

Why does Gemini give different answers to the same question?

Gemini writes each answer from scratch and can search Google while it does, so the brands and sources can change from one run to the next. That is why Rankshift reports visibility as a share of all runs. One check tells you very little.

What is the difference between Gemini, AI Mode and AI Overviews?

Gemini is Google's AI assistant, used in the Gemini app and on the web. AI Mode and AI Overviews are part of Google Search. All three run on Google's Gemini models, but the brands and sources they return can differ, so Rankshift tracks them as separate models.

What is the difference between a mention and a citation?

A mention is your brand name in the answer text. A citation is a link to a page that Gemini used as a source. You can have one without the other, so Rankshift tracks them separately.

Which other AI models can I track?

ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and Mistral. The same prompts can run on each model, so you can compare your visibility in Gemini with the rest.

How do I improve my visibility in Gemini?

Start with the answers. See which prompts name your competitors and leave you out, and which review sites and articles Gemini cites when it does link sources. Then update your own pages so they answer the prompt directly, and get listed on the pages that keep coming back. The Action Center turns these findings into specific tasks, ranked by expected impact.
