How to track your brand's AI answer visibility against rivals with Open

Run one self-hosted pass that shows how often AI engines mention your brand versus competitors.

Who it is forA marketing or SEO lead who needs a defensible number for how often ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini mention their brand, and who does not want a closed SaaS holding the prompts and data.

The problemAI assistants now shape which brands buyers hear about, but there is no trustworthy, auditable view of whether your brand appears in their answers or how you compare with competitors.

The outcomeA local dashboard with visibility, share of voice and a competitor ranking, where every number shows the sample of answers it rests on.

What you need first

  • macOS or Linux terminal with curl
  • Either a free Limelit Cloud account (sign in with Google) or your own provider API key, such as OpenAI's
  • Your brand domain, category and up to five competitor sites

Steps

  1. Run mkdir -p ~/limelit && cd ~/limelit && curl -fsSL https://github.com/limelit-co/open/releases/latest/download/limelit_$(uname -s | tr A-Z a-z)_$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/;s/aarch64/arm64/').tar.gz | tar xz limelit to download the binary. (inferred, check the README)
  2. Run ./limelit serve and Open localhost:1515 in a browser.
  3. In the setup wizard, enter your domain, your category, up to five competitors, and one key (the free Limelit Cloud allowance via limelit login, or your own OpenAI key).
  4. Press Run, then read the Overview as each engine returns answers; numbers with fewer than 20 answers are marked as thin.

Prompt for your agent

Using the limelit-co/open repository, download the binary, start `limelit serve`, and complete the setup wizard for the domain <target-domain> with competitors <competitor-domains>. Press Run and report the visibility and share of voice per engine. Verify that each figure shows its answer count n.

Caveat. Results come from vendor APIs with web search on and from scrapers for Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode and Bing Copilot, so they are not the same as what a person sees in the consumer apps.
