Track Your Brand's Mentions in Claude
TL;DR
Tracking your brand in Claude means running your category's buying questions through it on a schedule and recording where you appear, the sentiment, and the sources it cites. Claude tends to give measured, source-aware answers and it incorporates web content, so its citations are especially actionable. Track those citations as closely as the mentions, and compare Claude's view against the other models to see where they disagree.
Why Claude is worth tracking
Claude has fewer users than ChatGPT but carries weight with technical, decision-making audiences, the people who often shortlist B2B tools. It searches the web, so recent, well-structured content can shape its answers faster than on a training-only model. Because Claude is comparatively careful about sourcing, the citations behind its answers are a clear signal of what content it trusts, which makes them a direct lever for improving how it describes you.
How to track it
- List the real buying questions your customers ask, not prompts engineered to flatter you.
- Ask each in Claude and record whether you appear, whether it is a recommendation or a reference, and the sentiment.
- Capture the sources Claude cites, and note which of your pages, if any, are doing the work.
- Record which competitors appear when you do not.
- Repeat on a schedule and compare against your ChatGPT and Perplexity results, since the surfaces often disagree.

What good looks like
You appear in most answers to your core questions, the mentions lean toward recommendation, and Claude cites your own content rather than only competitors' pages. If Claude cites a competitor's domain when describing your category, that domain is shaping the narrative, and earning your own citations there is the work. Our analysis of what AI trusts and cites explains which content earns that trust.
