What to do with this data
Gemini now has more than a billion monthly users and runs inside Search, Android, Chrome and Workspace. That makes it one of the answer engines a brand has to check, not an afterthought.
- Track Gemini as its own engine. Gemini, ChatGPT and Perplexity can cite different sources, so one blended score hides gaps. Mentionova tracks Gemini alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Reddit on its Scale plan and has agents draft the fixes; compare it with others in the best AI visibility tools.
- Do not stop at the Gemini app. AI Overviews and AI Mode run on Gemini too. Our AI Overviews tracking tools roundup covers tools that watch Google’s AI answers.
- Check the other engines. Pew finds ChatGPT still leads in the U.S., and Perplexity matters for research-heavy buyers. See ChatGPT rank tracking tools and Perplexity tracking tools.
- Plan for voice and images. With most users talking to Gemini and millions of images generated daily, answers about your brand will not always be text on a screen.
