Product overview
What is Ahrefs?
Brand Radar is Ahrefs' AI-visibility product, sold standalone or bundled into the main Ahrefs plans.
It lets you research any brand's presence across AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity using a pre-built database of 400M+ organic prompts, or add your own custom prompts to track daily.
Content creation, technical audits, and crawler-bot analytics live in separate Ahrefs products (AI Content Helper, Site Audit, Bot Analytics) rather than in Brand Radar itself.
Based on its published feature set, Ahrefs brings brand mention monitoring, citation tracking, sentiment analysis, competitor benchmarking, prompt discovery, and share-of-voice reporting into one workflow, with 1 more verified capabilities documented below.
How it measures AI visibility
The recorded coverage spans Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok.
