Gauge: The End-to-End AI Visibility Platform

Other tools tell you where your brand is missing from AI search. Gauge tells you exactly what to do about it, helps you do it, and measures whether it worked, everyday across every AI model.

01

Know where you stand in every AI conversation

Gauge runs hundreds of prompts daily across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and more — tracking your mentions, citations, and competitive position so you know exactly where you're invisible.

02

Turn visibility gaps into content that gets cited

Gauge finds your highest-value gaps and turns them into publish-ready articles built from the citation patterns already winning in your category. Brief, outline, article, CMS — one loop.

03

Ask Gauge: the AI agent that connects all your marketing data

Ask Gauge pulls your AI visibility, GA4, Search Console, DataForSEO, and ads data into one co-pilot that goes from insight to content plan to draft — no tool switching.

FAQs

Semrush is a well-established SEO platform with a broad feature set that added AI visibility tracking to its existing suite.

Gauge was built specifically around AI search, with a closed-loop engine that goes from finding your visibility gaps to writing the content to publishing it to your CMS.

If you need a comprehensive SEO toolset, Semrush covers a lot of ground. If AI search is the priority, Gauge was purpose-built for that job.

For AI visibility specifically, Gauge — by roughly 12x per answer.

Semrush's AI Toolkit starts at $99/month per domain for 25 tracked prompts on two platforms — about 1,500 answers a month ($66 per 1,000). Gauge Growth is $599/month for 600 prompts across six platforms — 108,000 answers ($5.55 per 1,000).

And adding prompts at Semrush's add-on rate compounds the gap before factoring in the base Semrush subscription.

Semrush is a comprehensive digital marketing suite with a decade of search infrastructure behind it, covering SEO, content, advertising, and social in one platform.

Gauge is purpose-built for AI answer visibility, tracking brand mentions and citations across AI platforms and turning that data into content that improves performance.

The two tools work well together: Gauge's Ask Gauge agent pulls DataForSEO search data alongside GA4, GSC, and GEO data for unified analysis across all search channels.

Teams serious about AI search performance will get the most value running Gauge alongside Semrush rather than choosing between them.

Semrush is a comprehensive marketing suite with strong SEO, advertising, and content tools built on a decade of search data.

For teams already using Semrush, Gauge is a natural complement rather than a replacement.

Ask Gauge pulls DataForSEO search data alongside GA4, GSC, and AI visibility metrics, giving teams a unified view across all their search and ad channels.

Where Semrush excels at traditional search intelligence, Gauge adds the AI answer layer and connects it back to the broader marketing stack so teams can build a strategy that covers both.

Semrush is a powerful all-in-one suite, and its breadth is one of its biggest strengths. That same breadth means there is a meaningful learning curve, particularly for teams focused on a specific use case like AI visibility.

Gauge is more focused by design: the Ask Gauge agent connects all relevant data sources and guides teams through analysis and execution in a conversational interface.

Teams that want to get up and running on AI search strategy quickly, without navigating a large feature set, will find Gauge the more accessible starting point.

Gauge is not a replacement for Ahrefs or Semrush.

It measures something those tools cannot: whether AI platforms are mentioning and citing a brand in their generated answers.

A brand can rank #1 on Google and still be completely invisible in AI search.

Gauge fills that gap, and the Ask Gauge agent integrates GSC, GA4, and DataForSEO data alongside AI visibility data for unified analysis across all search channels.
