Supported AI providers
GeoBubbles monitors your brand across the AI surfaces that are actually shaping buyer decisions today — both conversational chat assistants and Google's AI-driven SERP features. Each one answers questions differently, so coverage across all six gives you the full picture of how your brand is being represented when people search with AI.
The six surfaces we monitor
| Surface | Type | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Conversational chat | The benchmark assistant — broadest user base, most common starting point for "which brand should I pick?" prompts. |
| Claude | Conversational chat | A research-leaning assistant favored for long-form analysis. Often pulls from different sources than ChatGPT, so it reveals coverage gaps the others miss. |
| Gemini | Conversational chat | Google's standalone assistant. Tightly integrated with the Google graph, so brand entity recognition matters more here than anywhere else. |
| Google AI Mode | Google SERP feature | The full conversational AI experience embedded inside Google Search results. Replaces the classic 10 blue links for an increasing share of commercial queries. |
| Google AI Overviews | Google SERP feature | The AI-generated summary that appears at the top of many Google search results. The single most-seen AI answer on the web. |
Chat assistants vs Google AI surfaces
The six split into two distinct categories, and you generally want strong coverage in both:
- Conversational chat assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) — users open these apps with an explicit intent ("recommend me…", "what's the best…", "compare X and Y"). Visibility here predicts whether you'll be in the consideration set when a buyer is actively shopping.
- Google AI surfaces (AI Mode, AI Overviews) — these intercept users inside Google Search, often before they ever click a result. Visibility here predicts whether you'll keep the click-through traffic SEO used to guarantee.
A site can rank #1 organically and still be invisible in AI Overviews, and a brand can be cited by Gemini yet ignored by ChatGPT. That's why we measure each surface independently.
Plan coverage
- ChatGPT is included in every paid plan.
- Claude, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overviews can be enabled per workspace from Settings → Billing → LLM Add-ons.
You can switch add-ons on or off at any time; new surfaces start appearing in your next measurement cycle.
How each surface is queried
For every active prompt on your site, we send the prompt to each enabled surface during the measurement cycle and parse the response for:
- Mentions — the brand name appears in the answer text.
- Citations — the brand domain appears in the source list (when the surface returns one).
- Position — where in the answer or source list the brand falls.
- Competitors — which rival brands appear alongside or instead of yours.
These signals feed directly into your VS, SOV, TMR, and AIS metrics. See LLM measurement runs for why we repeat each prompt multiple times per cycle.
