Brand Radar is Ahrefs' answer-engine visibility product, built on top of its existing search and backlink index rather than as a separate company. It tracks how a brand appears across six AI answer surfaces (Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot) against a bank of over 300 million search-backed prompts modeled on real queries, distinguishing a mention (the brand is named) from a citation (the brand's page is linked as a source). It also extends tracking to video, checking YouTube titles, descriptions and transcripts for brand mentions, and reports alongside Ahrefs' existing web-visibility and search-demand metrics so AI visibility sits next to traditional organic performance rather than in a separate tool. It suits SEO and content teams who already use Ahrefs and want AI-answer tracking without adding a standalone platform, more than teams needing deep generative-engine-optimization workflows.
