Every Monday the Schedule Trigger starts the workflow.\n2. The **Settings** node holds your questions (one per line), your brand, your website and your competitors.\n3. The **AI Search Visibility Tracker** Actor on Apify (`plainrows/ai-search-brand-visibility`) asks each question to ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode and checks each answer for your brand, your site and your competitors.\n4. A Code node turns each answer into one dated row: engine, mentioned or not, position against competitors, site cited or not, competitors named, top cited domains.\n5. The rows are appended to the `AI visibility` tab, so you can chart the trend.\n\n### Requirements\n- An Apify account (free plan available) and its API token.\n- A Google Sheets account and a spreadsheet with an `AI visibility` tab.\n- The Apify node is the verified community node `@apify/n8n-nodes-apify` (available on n8n Cloud; on self-hosted n8n install it from Settings > Community nodes).\n\n### How to customize\n- Edit `questions`, `brand`, `website` and `competitors` in **Settings**.\n- Keep only some engines by editing `engines` in the Apify node.\n- Post a Slack message when `brandMentioned` is false for a question that mattered last week.\n\nPricing: one AI answer per question and engine per week; failed engines and empty answers are free.",
