What do you see for each question in Gemini?
- Whether Gemini recommended your brand, only mentioned it, or did not name it at all. The dashboard shows three levels: Recommended, Knows you, Not mentioned.
- If recommended, your position in the list.
- The sentence your brand appears in, and the full text of the answer.
- The other brands named in the same answer.
- The pages Gemini cited while building the answer.
- Your Gemini mention rate week over week, in its own column next to ChatGPT and Perplexity.
How is Gemini measured?
Questions go through Google's official Gemini API with grounding in Google Search turned on. Sources come from the grounding sources in the API response; they are not guessed from the answer text.
Each question runs alone, in a clean session. A short instruction, the same on every engine, is added at the end: rely on current web sources, name specific brands, answer as a numbered list. That keeps Gemini's answer comparable with ChatGPT and Perplexity.
We suggest the questions after reading your site; you edit and approve the list. Nothing is measured without your approval.
Limit: this is not identical to what a signed-in user sees in the Gemini app. Account, location and the model of the day can change the answer. Details: methodology.
Does Gemini tracking cover Google AI Mode?
No. Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews are three separate products and can answer the same question differently. AIShortlist measures Gemini today; Google AI Mode and AI Overviews are not measured. Gemini tracking does not stand in for them.
We explain what AI Mode changed for brands in a separate article: What is Google AI Mode?
Why track Gemini separately?
Engines answer the same question with different brands because each runs its own search and reads different pages. Gemini grounds its answer in Google Search results. So a brand named in ChatGPT may not appear in Gemini at all.
In the dashboard each engine has its own column and its own score. You see which engine you are missing from and order the work accordingly.
What do you do if Gemini does not mention you?
Alongside the measurement the dashboard shows the work; everything is ranked in one to-do list.
- Citation analysis: which pages Gemini cites and where you are missing.
- AI bot access checker: whether Googlebot and the other bots can read your site.
- Copy suggestions and new page drafts, using only facts already on your site.
- The usual causes: Why doesn't Gemini mention my brand?
