Being mentioned is not being chosen.

Most trackers count a mention. A buyer acts on the recommendation. MentionX measures both, and its headline number is Recommendation Rate: how often AI tells the buyer to pick you.

“Best CRM for a 20-person sales team?”

“For a team of 20, go with Vela: it is built for small sales teams and the pipeline view is the easiest to set up.”

This is the answer that wins the deal. Only this counts toward Recommendation Rate.

HubSpot AEO points at the gap. MentionX closes it, on any site.

Seeing the gap is step one. MentionX decides what to fix, builds it in your brand, sends it to your site as a draft and measures whether AI changed its answer.

Daily tracking is a mood ring. Weekly is a trend.

Ask an AI engine the same question twice and you can get two different answers minutes apart. That is how these models work. A daily line mostly charts that randomness, so it jumps without anything about your brand changing.

Teams who watch it chase false alarms: a drop on Tuesday, a recovery on Thursday, a meeting about neither. Nobody can ship a fix in a day anyway.

MentionX runs the same prompts four times a month and keeps every answer. The weekly trend shows what really moved after you published, and every point opens to the answers behind it.

Daily runsWeekly trend, same promptsIllustration

We knock on the front door. Scrapers climb through the window.

How a tool collects AI answers decides whether you can trust them. MentionX asks every engine the way a new buyer would, through its official API.

MentionX: official APIs

Fresh session every time. No login, no memory, no location, so the answer is what a new buyer sees, not what your own account has been trained on.
Within the rules. Each engine through its official API where one exists, and a licensed search API for Google AI Overviews and AI Mode.
Repeatable. The same prompts, the same way, every scan, so a change is a real change.
Stored as evidence. Every raw answer and citation is saved before any number is calculated.

Scraping a chat window

Biased answers. A logged-in chat knows the account, its history and its location. Your buyer is not that account.
Against the terms. Automated scraping of chat interfaces breaks most AI engines’ terms of use.
Fragile. When the chat interface changes, the data breaks or quietly goes missing.
Hard to audit. If an answer cannot be reproduced, neither can the number built on it.

HubSpot’s AEO page does not say whether answers are collected through each engine’s official API. Checked 22 Oct 2026.

What is the difference between MentionX and HubSpot AEO?

HubSpot AEO (beta) tracks 25 prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for $50 a month and recommends content to create inside HubSpot. MentionX starts at $19.99, covers Google AI Mode and AI Overviews too, puts your Google top-10 rank beside every AI answer to the same buyer question, and builds the fix with Creative Studio and the GEO Content Agent for WordPress, Ghost, Shopify or Netlify.

Is MentionX cheaper than HubSpot AEO?

To start, yes: MentionX Starter is $19.99 a month and HubSpot AEO is $50. HubSpot’s content creation tools come with Marketing Hub Pro or Enterprise; MentionX includes Creative Studio and the GEO Content Agent from Spark ($149).

Which AI engines does HubSpot AEO track?

ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. MentionX includes up to seven in its plans, among them Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot and DeepSeek, with Claude, Grok and Meta AI as add-ons.

Do I need HubSpot to use MentionX?

No. MentionX works with any website and sends drafts to WordPress, Ghost, Shopify or Netlify. If you run HubSpot, you can keep it as your CRM and use MentionX for the AI answer, the Google rank beside it and the fix.

Does HubSpot AEO show Google rankings next to AI answers?

No. HubSpot’s AEO page lists AI visibility, share of voice, sentiment and citations, not Google organic rank. MentionX fetches Google’s organic top ten for each buyer question and shows it in the same row as the AI answers, on every plan.

Can MentionX create content to fix what it finds?

Yes. The GEO Content Agent drafts articles from your scan evidence, and Creative Studio makes posts, carousels, video and landing pages in 19 formats in your brand kit, with every number checked against the scan. Drafts go to your site for approval.
