What is AIsearchmap?
AIsearchmap is a monitoring tool for AI search optimisation (GEO/LLMO) from CINC Inc. It periodically collects answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews, then ranks how often your brand and your competitors are mentioned (Share of Voice) and which sites are used as citation sources. Two things set it apart: the answer list shows every response in full and can be filtered by whether your own brand appeared, and the prompt generator writes the measurement prompts from nothing more than your company name and domain. Pricing runs from a free plan that still includes every feature (ChatGPT only, 25 prompts, 20 competitors) to an enterprise plan covering all five models, quoted individually from ¥50,000 per month with invoicing. Companies only.

About "AIsearchmap"
What is AIsearchmap
AIsearchmap is a monitoring tool for AI search optimisation (GEO/LLMO) from CINC Inc. It periodically collects answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overviews, then quantifies how often your brand and your competitors are mentioned and which sites are being used as citation sources.
The tool was announced on 18 May 2026, and an enterprise plan for companies followed on 28 July 2026. It is sold to companies only — individuals and freelancers cannot sign up.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews
Every feature included
Up to 20 competitors
Quoted individually, invoicing available
It counts how often AI names you, not where you rank
SEO has rankings; AI answers do not. The metric AIsearchmap puts at the centre is SOV (Share of Voice): ask the AI the same question repeatedly, count how many times each brand is named, and express it as a share.
Conventional SEO metrics
- Position in the results page
- Clicks and impressions
- Measured page by page
What AIsearchmap measures
- Share of Voice in AI answers
- Brand mentions and domain citations
- Read relative to competitors
The dashboard leads with three figures — brand SOV, brand mentions, and domain citations — each with a week-on-week delta. A line chart overlays your brand and your competitors, so you can see whether the gap narrowed in the week you acted.
Below that sit two rankings: the brands mentioned most, and the domains cited most. Who is being named, and which sites the answers rest on, on one screen.

When your name does not come up, who is named instead
The usual dead end in GEO/LLMO work is learning that you are absent without learning what to do next. AIsearchmap extracts every mentioned brand and every cited domain and ranks them.
The brand ranking lists rank, brand, number of prompts that mentioned it, mention count, SOV, and the trend column. If you are fifth, you can see exactly who the four above you are and by how much.
The domain ranking is a list of the media the AI is treating as evidence. Once you know which outlets your competitors are cited from, you know where to work next.
You can read the answers themselves, not just the totals
The answer list shows every collected response in full. Filter by model (ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode, Perplexity, AI Overviews), cited domain, cited brand, tag, prompt name, or a keyword in the answer text.
Because you can filter on whether your own brand appeared, it is easy to pull out only the answers where you were left out and read them. Exports to CSV are supported.
How to use it
-
Apply for the free plan
Sign up through the form on the official site. The service is sold to companies, so individuals and freelancers are not accepted. The free plan includes every feature.
-
Register your brand and domain
Enter your company name and domain into the prompt generator and it writes the measurement prompts for you. You do not have to design the questions yourself.
-
Add competitors
Register the competitor brands and domains you want to compare against — up to 20 on the free plan.
-
Review what was collected
Answers to your prompts are collected automatically on a regular cycle. Watch SOV and mention counts on the dashboard, then read the raw answers in the answer list.
-
Follow the citations to a decision
Use the domain ranking to identify what the AI treats as evidence. Outlets that cite your competitors — and comparison articles you are missing from — become your next targets.

Who makes it
CINC Inc. is the company behind Keywordmap, a research and analysis tool for SEO and content marketing. Its business spans solutions, analytics, and M&A advisory.
AIsearchmap is described as the productised version of the analysis its consultants were already doing by hand. That is the reason the prompt generator ships with what the company calls its own accumulated know-how built in.
How it differs from other LLMO/GEO tools
Several vendors now offer AI-search visibility tools; they differ in the models covered, whether there is a free tier, and whether they propose improvements.
| Tool | AI models | Free tier | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| AIsearchmap | 5 (ChatGPT only when free) | Yes (all features, 25 prompts) | Answers collected in a close reproduction of a real user's environment; prompts generated for you |
| ミエルカGEO | Major models | Free trial | From the SEO vendor Mieruca. Mentions and citations broken out per AI model |
| Genview | Major models | 14-day free trial | Works backwards from the state you want to be described in |
| LLMOinsight | 5 | Yes (Free) | A 100-point AI score, with improvement proposals and content generation on one screen |
| AKARUMI | Major models | Free trial | Broad analytical axes; treats AI search as a management metric |
A rough guide to choosing:
- To measure where you stand at no cost — the AIsearchmap free plan carries every feature, so you can check your SOV and citation sources without a budget
- To measure and improve in one tool — LLMOinsight and Genview include improvement proposals in the product itself
- To keep it continuous with existing SEO work — ミエルカGEO is built as an extension of an SEO tool, and AIsearchmap likewise comes from a company with an SEO product (Keywordmap)
