Track your visibility in Perplexity

Perplexity sees itself as an answer engine: every statement with a source, every source clickable. For brands, that makes it the AI interface with the most direct route to a website visit.

What makes Perplexity special

While other assistants tend to show sources in passing, Perplexity puts them center stage. Its users are often research-minded, compare providers deliberately and click on the linked pages more often than average. That is why source presence is the most important metric here.

How KI.SO evaluates Perplexity

KI.SO asks the same questions as with the other assistants and evaluates the answer text and the source list separately. You see in how many answers your brand is named, how often your domain is cited and which third-party domains dominate your topic area.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan includes Perplexity?

Perplexity is included from the Pro plan upward.

Why do the results differ from ChatGPT?

Perplexity uses its own search index and weights sources differently. It is normal for a brand to be strong in one assistant and barely visible in another – which is why KI.SO evaluates each provider separately.

Is Perplexity worth it given its smaller user base?

Its reach is smaller than ChatGPT's, but the willingness to click is high. Especially in B2B and for products that need explaining, Perplexity is often the AI channel with the most measurable traffic.
