How Qwen answers

How does Qwen decide which brands to recommend?

Qwen is China's leading consumer AI assistant and is wired into Alibaba's commerce apps. For brands selling into China, it is where product research increasingly starts.

Search powered by Alibaba's Quark

Qwen's web search builds on Alibaba's Quark AI search, which favors the Chinese-language web. Your presence there shapes what Qwen can find.

From answer to purchase

Qwen is connected to Taobao, Tmall, Alipay, Fliggy and Amap, so a product answer can end in a purchase without leaving the app.

A different set of competitors

Qwen often names brands that Western engines rarely mention. Tracking it separately shows who you are really up against in Chinese-language answers.

Frequently asked questions

Qwen visibility, answered

What is a Qwen visibility tracker?

A Qwen visibility tracker runs the questions your buyers ask through Alibaba's Qwen on a schedule and records whether your brand is mentioned, where it ranks, how it is described and which sources it cites. Sona does this daily and compares you with your competitors.

Who should track visibility in Qwen?

Any brand that sells to Chinese-speaking buyers, or competes with brands that do. Qwen is one of the most-used AI assistants in China and is built into Alibaba's shopping and payment apps.

Does Qwen recommend different brands from ChatGPT?

Often, yes. Qwen relies on different search sources and a different model, so its shortlist for the same question can differ from Western engines. Sona lets you compare engines side by side.

How can I improve my brand visibility in Qwen?

Publish clear Chinese-language content about your products, make sure you are listed accurately on the platforms Qwen draws on, and earn coverage on the sites it cites. Sona shows which sources appear in Qwen answers for your prompts.

Can agencies track Qwen visibility for several clients?

Yes. Sona tracks multiple brands in one workspace, each with its own prompts, competitors and topics, so an agency can report Qwen visibility for every client side by side.

Which AI engines does Sona track besides Qwen?

Sona tracks brand visibility across the major AI engines, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Mistral, plus Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, so you can compare how each one talks about you.
