How Gemini decides which brands to recommend
When someone asks Gemini for the best option in your category, it composes an answer from the sources it trusts — and only brands present in those sources get mentioned. For Gemini, those sources are typically Top Google results, YouTube, and Reddit. If your brand is missing there, you are invisible in the answer, no matter how good your product is.
How to check your Gemini visibility
- List the questions your customers ask (“best X for …”, “X 推荐 …”).
- See whether Gemini names you — or only competitors.
- Find which sources it cited, and get placed on the ones you're missing.
- Re-check over time, because AI answers change weekly.
Sumhound's free checker does all four automatically — and shows Gemini next to other Western and Chinese engines, so cross-border sellers see both sides of the firewall in one report.
