AI Search Share of Voice

Compare AI-search visibility for a target brand against competitors across every major LLM engine, then analyse the topic clusters each brand owns and where gaps exist.

Prerequisites

• DataForSEO MCP server connected.
• User provides: (a) target domain and its brand name, (b) list of competitor domains and brand names, (c) country (default: us), and (d) optionally, which engines to analyse (default: all supported: ai-overview, chatgpt, perplexity, gemini, ai-mode).

Process

1. Leaderboard snapshot mcp__dataforseo__ai_opt_llm_ment_top_domains + mcp__dataforseo__ai_opt_llm_ment_agg_metrics; Google AI Overview presence from mcp__dataforseo__serp_organic_live_advanced (AIO block)

   • Pull the LLM-mention leaderboard (top cited/mentioned domains) for the target domain's category in the target country; for the AI Overview engine, read the AIO citation block from serp_organic_live_advanced on the category's seed keywords.
   • Capture mention counts and share percentages per engine, per domain.

2. Heatmap table

   • Build a table: rows = domains (target + competitors), columns = engines, cells = % share of voice.
   • Highlight the leader per engine and the worst performer.

3. Prompt sampling per domain mcp__dataforseo__ai_opt_llm_ment_search, mcp__dataforseo__ai_opt_llm_ment_top_pages; for actual answers mcp__dataforseo__ai_optimization_chat_gpt_scraper / mcp__dataforseo__ai_optimization_llm_response

   • For each domain (target and each competitor):
     • Use ai_opt_llm_ment_search to pull prompts/queries where the domain appears as a cited source (link mention) and where the brand is mentioned by name; ai_opt_llm_ment_top_pages surfaces the specific pages cited.
     • Where a live answer is needed to confirm a mention, scrape it with ai_optimization_chat_gpt_scraper (ChatGPT) or ai_optimization_llm_response (other models).
   • Save query text and the exact sources cited so the user can validate.

4. Topic clustering

   • Group prompts by theme (e.g., pricing, feature comparison, tutorials, alternatives, reviews).
   • For each brand, note which clusters it dominates and which it is absent from.

5. Gap and recommendation synthesis

   • Identify 3 to 5 topic clusters where the target underperforms competitors despite having relevant content.
   • Recommend specific actions: new content angles, structured data additions, partnerships with frequently-cited sources, comparison pages, FAQ/How-To schema.

Tips

• Do not hallucinate citation counts. If the API returns zero prompts for a given domain/engine, report zero, do not estimate.
• For each competitor, validate the brand-name match in the prompt text. Sometimes "Wix" appears in a sentence about "wiktionary" or a person's name. Flag ambiguous matches in the raw-prompt file.
• base_domain scope is the default; do not narrow to subdomain unless the user asks.
• DataForSEO allows up to 2,000 calls/min, 30 concurrent; pace sequentially. With 5 domains and 2 mention queries per engine per domain, pace the loop. DataForSEO bills per call — cap large mention lists with limit and ai_optimization_llm_mentions_filters.
• The report is not a one-time artefact. Recommend the user re-run monthly and diff results to see ranking momentum.
