# Cision AI Visibility Dashboard — Cision's AI-visibility feature inside CisionOne, tracking brand mentions, sentiment and share of voice across nine named AI platforms via its own Trajaan search-intelligence acquisition — bundled into an existing, sales-gated CisionOne subscription with no separate self-serve signup.

Cision AI Visibility Dashboard is an AI-answer-visibility feature launched July 14, 2026 inside CisionOne, the media-monitoring and communications-intelligence platform built by Cision, a Chicago-headquartered PR/media-intelligence company (Wikipedia dates its lineage to 1867 through predecessor press-clipping firms) taken private by Platinum Equity in a roughly $2.7 billion deal completed January 31, 2020, the same transaction that folded in PR Newswire. Cision's own materials describe it as serving over 75,000 companies and organizations, including 84% of the Fortune 500, though independent third-party estimates of current headcount conflict (roughly 3,800-5,700 depending on source) and neither could be confirmed against Cision's own site, which sits behind a Cloudflare bot challenge on every page checked. The dashboard runs on data from Trajaan, a Paris-based search-intelligence platform Cision itself acquired on December 11, 2025 — despite the launch press release's "powered by data from Trajaan, the industry leader in search intelligence" phrasing reading like a third-party partnership, Trajaan is now a Cision-owned asset also feeding Cision's Brandwatch and PR Newswire products, not an independent vendor.

## Verdict

A genuinely broad AI-platform monitor — the largest raw named-platform list in this index — with a real structural advantage for teams already living inside CisionOne: AI-visibility data sits next to existing media monitoring and outreach rather than in a separate tool. But it's not purchasable on its own, carries no published price, misses Microsoft Copilot, and as a July 2026 launch has zero independent review yet. A fit for PR/comms teams already committed to CisionOne, not a standalone AI-visibility purchase.

## How it works

1. The AI Visibility Dashboard runs on Trajaan search-intelligence data (a company Cision itself acquired in December 2025) inside CisionOne, monitoring brand, competitor and topic presence across nine named AI platforms — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode and Mistral.
2. It tracks visibility trends over time on customizable dashboards and benchmarks share of voice against named competitors.
3. It reports the sentiment attached to brand mentions inside AI-generated responses and identifies which prompts and topics drive brand appearances.
4. It separately surfaces which journalists, publications and domains AI models cite most on a brand's topics, connecting that to Cision's existing media-monitoring and outreach data inside the same platform.
5. It's available today to existing CisionOne users — there's no separate signup, self-serve trial, or published rate card for the feature on its own.

## Who it's for

- PR and communications teams already running CisionOne for media monitoring who want AI-answer visibility added to the same workflow rather than a separate tool.
- Comms teams that want to cross-reference which journalists and publications AI models cite most against their own earned-media outreach data.
- Enterprises comfortable with a custom annual contract (no published price) and no self-serve signup or free trial.

## Strengths and weaknesses

- ✓ Monitors the largest raw list of named AI platforms of any listing in this index — nine, per Cision's own release (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, Mistral) — though on this taxonomy's own six structured engine facets it ties Meltwater GenAI Lens at five of six, missing Copilot instead of AI Overviews.
- ✓ Built into CisionOne alongside existing media monitoring, social listening and outreach data rather than sold as a separate disconnected dashboard — a real workflow advantage for teams already inside CisionOne.
- ✓ The underlying AI-platform data comes from Trajaan, a search-intelligence company Cision itself acquired in December 2025 — an owned data asset rather than a reseller relationship on a third-party API that could change terms or pricing.
- ✗ Not available as a standalone purchase — it requires an existing, fully sales-gated CisionOne subscription with no published price; Vendr's real-deal data puts the median contract at $12,625/year, well above most self-serve AI-visibility trackers in this index.
- ✗ Doesn't claim Microsoft Copilot anywhere in Cision's own launch materials, the one engine most tools in this index's five-engine tier also miss.
- ✗ No AI-Visibility-Dashboard-specific API or MCP endpoint found — CisionOne documents a general REST API for media-monitoring data, but nothing indicates AI-visibility data is exposed through it.
- ✗ Too new (launched July 2026) for any independent third-party review — every account of this specific feature found during research traces back to Cision's own press release and its wire-service redistributions, not an outside evaluation; Cision's own product and pricing pages sit behind a Cloudflare bot challenge that blocked direct verification.
- ⚠ No independent (non-Cision) review or comparison of the AI Visibility Dashboard specifically was found as of this listing's verification — this is a feature launched July 2026 inside a much larger, long-established platform, and every account traces back to Cision's own release and its wire redistributions.

## Key features

- **Nine-platform AI monitoring** — Monitors brand, competitor and topic presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode and Mistral, per Cision's own launch materials.
- **Visibility trend dashboards** — Tracks visibility over time through customizable dashboards rather than a single point-in-time check.
- **Share of voice vs. named competitors** — Benchmarks a brand's AI-answer visibility and share of voice against competitors it's tracking.
- **Sentiment in AI answers** — Reports the sentiment attached to a brand's mentions inside AI-generated responses.
- **Prompt/topic attribution** — Identifies which specific prompts and topics drive a brand's AI-answer appearances.
- **Journalist and source citation tracking** — Surfaces which journalists, publications and domains AI models cite most often when discussing a brand's topics.
- **Unified with existing media data** — Connects AI-visibility signals directly to Cision's existing media monitoring, social listening and outreach activity inside CisionOne, rather than a separate disconnected dashboard.

## Use cases

- **PR team adding AI-answer tracking to existing media monitoring** — A communications team already running CisionOne for press and social monitoring turns on the AI Visibility Dashboard to see whether the same brand narrative it tracks in traditional media is also showing up — and how it reads — inside ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity answers.
- **Connecting earned coverage to AI citations** — A comms team cross-references which journalists and publications AI models cite most on a topic against its own media-outreach data, to see whether recent press placements are actually feeding the sources AI models draw from.
