AI search visibility: is your brand in ChatGPT's answers?
More buyers ask an AI before they search. Give this connector the questions your customers ask and it checks each AI engine's answer: whether your brand is mentioned, in what position, whether your site is cited, which competitors are named and which sources the answer drew on. Pair it with web mention monitoring to find the pages worth getting onto.
From $0.045 per answer check · no API key · failed calls refunded
What you get
- Mentioned or not, per prompt and engine
- Mention position and the brands named in order
- Whether your site is cited, and which URLs
- Competitor share of voice
- Source domains behind each answer
- Web mentions with sentiment and link status
Just ask your AI
“Do ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity recommend us for 'best crm for small agencies'? Who do they name instead?”
“Which sites mention our brand without linking to us?”

Your AI picks the right one for the question. Each is priced per result and refunded if it fails.

Which AI engines are checked?+
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answer boxes. Pick the engines on each call.
Can I track changes over time?+
Yes. Each row includes the previous result for the same prompt and engine, so scheduled runs show what changed.
Do I need a Web & SEO API key or developer account?+
No. Sourcelane runs the connectors for you. You top up a balance with a card, create an agent key, and your agent calls the connector — there is no Web & SEO app review, OAuth setup or rate-limit juggling on your side.
Which AI tools can use it?+
Anything that speaks MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) can connect to the Sourcelane MCP server with one config block. ChatGPT can use it through a Custom GPT Action, and any agent framework can call the REST endpoint directly.
Can I stop an agent from overspending?+
Yes. Every agent key has its own per-call cap, daily and monthly limits, an optional lifetime budget, an allowlist of connectors, and a kill switch.
