Ahrefs Brand Radar

AI visibility tracking from an established SEO vendor, across AI answers, YouTube and Reddit

Visit Ahrefs Brand Radar Verified Oct 2026 · Next review scheduled Jan 2027

Brand Radar tracks where and how often a brand appears in AI answers, YouTube and Reddit, reporting mentions, citations, AI share of voice and estimated impressions. It comes from Ahrefs, so the AI data sits beside the link and search data many teams already use, which lowers the adoption risk for a cautious buyer. The AI Visibility Index covers Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot; Custom Prompts adds Claude.

For comms teams: teams already using Ahrefs.

Best for

  • • Teams already using Ahrefs
  • • Comms teams wanting AI visibility from an established vendor
  • • Teams that want AI citations next to link and search data

Pricing

USD, billed monthly: Custom Prompts from $50/month; AI Visibility Index $199/month (83 prompts a day, 2,500+ checks a month, overage $0.020 per check). Custom Prompts are included in paid Ahrefs Lite plans and above, from 5 prompts and 150 checks a month on Lite.

Verified 15 October 2026 against ahrefs.com/brand-radar. The page shows a dollar sign with no currency code, does not say which Ahrefs plan the Index requires, and shows an unexplained '$699/MO FOR ALL MODELS'. Each Claude update uses 8 checks. Earlier directory notes quoting about $129 a month are superseded.

Pricing last verified Oct 2026 – check vendor site for current rates.

What works well

  • + Established vendor, with SEO data alongside the AI data
  • + Published monthly prices with a low entry point
  • + Covers YouTube and Reddit as well as answer engines

Watch out for

  • - Metered checks make cost depend on prompts and engines tracked
  • - Plan requirements for the Index are not stated on the page
  • - The SEO framing is heavy for a pure PR user

When to choose this

Choose Brand Radar when you already use Ahrefs, or want AI visibility from a long-standing vendor rather than a young specialist.

Who should look elsewhere

If you manage several client brands and want unlimited seats, Peec AI is built for that. If you want the simplest setup for one brand, Otterly AI is lighter. And if GEO is not yet a priority, test a few prompts by hand before paying for a subscription.

Key features

  • • Mentions, citations and AI share of voice across AI answers
  • • YouTube and Reddit visibility tracking
  • • Estimated impressions and AI traffic and bot-visit modules
  • • AI Visibility Index across six engines
  • • Custom Prompts, including Claude
