From Aiso’s conversation panel
What real conversations actually show
We don’t have to theorize about this. Aiso’s panel of millions of real, anonymized AI conversations shows exactly how assistants handle buying questions.
real, anonymized AI conversations in Aiso’s panel
buying-intent questions got a generic answer — no specific brand named
the most common number of brands a recommendation named — 63% named just one
A few real questions from the panel
- “What's a good lightweight podcast app for an older Android phone?”
- “What are ten companies that offer similar products and/or services to Diffbot?”
- “Which MBA is the best in 2025?”
Across tens of thousands of buying-intent conversations, the assistant named a specific brand only about a third of the time — the other two-thirds got a generic answer with no company named at all. And when it did recommend, 63% of those answers named a single brand. That is the visibility gap Perplexity brand tracking exists to close: knowing whether Perplexity names you at all, and whether you’re the one name it picks. See the full methodology.
What Perplexity brand insights cover
Perplexity brand insights are six measurements of how Perplexity represents your brand to users: citation frequency, share of voice, sentiment, source attribution, competitor presence, and trend over time. Aiso captures all six on every tracked prompt.
| Metric | What it measures | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Citation frequency | Number of Perplexity answers that cite your domain | Direct proxy for AI-driven referral traffic |
| Share of voice | Your brand mentions as a percent of all brand mentions for a prompt | Shows competitive positioning in Perplexity answers |
| Sentiment | Tone of each mention: positive, neutral, negative | Identifies reputation risks before they spread |
| Source attribution | Which pages Perplexity cites when discussing your brand | Shows which content earns AI citations |
| Competitor presence | Frequency and sentiment of competitor mentions on the same prompts | Benchmarks your visibility against the category |
| Trend over time | Daily change in each metric | Quantifies the impact of content and PR work |
How Perplexity grounding differs
Perplexity grounds every answer in live web sources and shows citations inline, so source authority and freshness matter more than in ChatGPT. Pages with strong recency signals and clear declarative claims are cited more often.
