Are Gemini mentions comparable to AI Overview mentions?

Directionally, not exactly. Gemini is signed-in and personalisable, so we keep the two engines reported separately.

Do you capture mentions on ungrounded answers?

Yes. Those are precisely the runs where mentions are the only available evidence.

Gemini app brand mentions tracking

geminibrand_mentionsAccount required

Because Gemini grounds inconsistently, unlinked brand mentions carry more of the signal here than on any other Google surface. Nostimates matches your brand and alias list against the full answer text on every sample, grounded or not.

How it renders

Plain text in the answer body, frequently with no corresponding chip.

Sampling

Mentions are more stable across samples than citations, because the model's underlying association with a category changes more slowly than its choice of sources.

Gotcha

On ungrounded runs mentions are the only field with any content. A citation-only tool reports Gemini as empty for those prompts, which is not the same as your brand being absent.

What the API returns

A single collection call against Gemini app for the brand mentions field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
