Gemini visibility tracker: see when Gemini names your brand

Depra AI captures Gemini from gemini.google.com, the consumer web app people open in a browser. It records the answer as the app serves it, including source links when Gemini shows them. Gemini has no search switch to force on, so some answers carry sources and some do not, and Depra AI stores both kinds. For every engine, see how Depra AI captures AI answers.

Gemini and Google AI Overviews are separate products. AI Overviews are the AI summaries at the top of some Google results pages, and Depra AI tracks them as a separate engine with separate scores on the Google AI Overview tracker. Google AI Mode is another Google surface, and how AI Mode differs from AI Overviews and Gemini explains how they differ.

Each question is asked from inside the country you track, at country level, in any of 40 markets and up to 10 per project. Depra AI does not target cities or add personas. Checks run once a day, and every full answer is kept.

Depra AI shows your Gemini visibility, position, sentiment, cited websites and change over time, with every answer stored. It scores Gemini on the same numbers it uses for every engine, so your Gemini result sits next to your ChatGPT and Perplexity results. Each number covers you and every competitor you track, from 3 to 12 per project depending on plan.

Depra AI's study measured the drop and did not establish the cause. Across 480 answers collected from inside India on 14 August 2026, Gemini attached at least one source to 90.0% of English answers and 41.3% of Hinglish answers. In the October 2026 re-run (479 answers), the figures were 73.4% and 56.3%, so the gap narrowed. Hinglish is Hindi and English written together in English letters, the way many Indians type a question.

In August, Gemini's Hinglish answers were also about a third shorter, and 8 of its 80 Hinglish answers came back in Devanagari script, which the person asking had not typed. The brands changed too. The study counted the brands two answers to the same question have in common: for Gemini, that share was 7.8 percentage points lower between an English and a Hinglish answer than between two runs in the same language. The gap was 2.2 points on ChatGPT and 23.4 on Perplexity. In the October re-run, the Gemini gap was 2.0 points, no longer significant, against 0.8 on ChatGPT and 28.2 on Perplexity.

For tracking, this means an English-only Gemini score may not match what Hinglish buyers see, and the difference can change from one month to the next. Depra AI suggests Hinglish versions of your questions when India is one of your markets. On Growth and above, your report splits visibility by English and Hinglish. The study covered 10 skincare and fashion questions, so check your own category. Method and tables: English vs Hinglish AI shopping study.

Google-Extended is a token you can name in robots.txt, the file that tells bots which pages they may use. Google's crawler documentation (opens in a new tab), checked 7 Oct 2026, says it controls whether content Google crawls may be used to train future Gemini models and for grounding, which means giving Gemini pages from the Google Search index while it writes an answer. Google also says it does not affect inclusion or ranking in Google Search.

The same Google page says no bot visits your site as Google-Extended. Google's normal crawler fetches the page, and the token decides how Gemini may use it. Depra AI's AI crawler checker lists it as an opt-out token, separate from crawlers that send traffic, and shows the exact robots.txt rule for 41 AI crawlers and tokens from 26 vendors, for your site and your competitors'. The guide to AI crawlers explains each one.
