# Scout LLM: AI Search Visibility Tracker > Scout LLM tracks whether a brand is cited by the major AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Google AI Overview and Google AI Mode) for the questions real buyers ask, and helps improve it over time. Two connected surfaces: a free anonymous citation check (top of funnel) and a paid multi-tenant SaaS that tracks visibility daily across engines and regions. Built by Top4 Technology, an Australian digital agency specialising in Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and traditional SEO. Part of the White Pearl Technology Group AB. ## What it does Scout LLM answers one question: when buyers ask an AI engine for a recommendation in your category, does it name you, and if not, who does it name instead? It runs each tracked prompt across the AI engines, records whether the brand was cited or merely mentioned, the position when cited, the competitors named when not, and the sentiment of the mention. Results roll up into a Visibility Score, Share of Voice and Average Position, tracked day over day. ## The free check (no signup) An anonymous visitor enters a domain plus up to three buyer-style queries. Scout LLM runs four engines in parallel for every query — Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Google AI Overview and Perplexity — and returns: - A per-engine summary (cited / not cited / skipped) for the overall check - A keyword-by-engine matrix: the result for each individual query, with the position when cited and the competitors named when not - A plain-language "where you stand" summary and the concrete cost of the gaps - The single highest-leverage first action to take To open the report the visitor confirms their email via a magic link. The remaining plays of the action plan sit behind a "talk to Top4 Technology" gate. ## The paid SaaS (organisations, brands, daily tracking) Signed-in users work inside organisations, track brands over time, and see Visibility / Share-of-Voice / Average-Position trends, competitor and source-and-citation analysis, sentiment, topic grouping, query fan-out, city-level location tracking, page audits and white-label agency reports. Paid plans track daily; the free check runs weekly. ## Engines monitored Six engines are supported. A paid plan picks any four of the five in the base pool; Claude is a separate add-on rather than a pool engine, because it is the costliest to run. Base pool: - Google Gemini (with Google Search grounding) - OpenAI ChatGPT (with web search) - Perplexity (Sonar, native citations API; city-level localisation switches to Sonar Pro) - Google AI Overview (the AI answer on a real Google search, via DataForSEO for city-level precision, with a live scrape as fallback — the only engine Scout LLM scrapes) - Google AI Mode (Google's conversational search surface, via DataForSEO) Add-on: - Anthropic Claude (Claude Haiku, with web search) — purchased separately on any paid plan, on top of the four pool slots Each engine receives the buyer's query verbatim with no rewriting, so the answers Scout LLM reads are the answers a real customer would see. Localisation is a native location parameter, not a query rewrite. ## Plans (AUD, monthly) - Free: the anonymous check across Gemini, ChatGPT, AI Overview and Perplexity, refreshed weekly. 3 tracked prompts, 1 brand, one region.

Scout LLM distinguishes both. - **Per-keyword visibility**: citation status for one specific query in one specific engine. The atomic unit of the matrix view. - **Share of Voice**: the share of tracked answers that cite the brand versus its competitors. ## Public pages - [Homepage](https://scoutllm.ai/): product overview, run a free check - [Pricing](https://scoutllm.ai/pricing): plans and limits - [Features](https://scoutllm.ai/features): the full feature set - [What is AEO](https://scoutllm.ai/what-is-aeo): Answer Engine Optimisation explained - [Compare](https://scoutllm.ai/compare): how to choose an AI visibility tool - [Solutions](https://scoutllm.ai/solutions): by team: in-house, ecommerce, local - [AI tools](https://scoutllm.ai/ai-tools): AI search tools explained - [Sitemap](https://scoutllm.ai/sitemap.xml) ## About Top4 Technology Top4 Technology is part of the White Pearl Technology Group AB, an Australian digital agency specialising in AI search visibility, Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), traditional SEO, content strategy and paid media.
