How is CiteRank AI different from legacy SEO tools?

Legacy SEO tools measure Google rankings. CiteRank AI measures whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, xAI Grok and Meta AI actually recommend a brand when buyers ask a question. The two are complementary, but AI search is a separate surface with its own ranking signals that traditional rank trackers do not audit.

Which AI engines does CiteRank AI track?

CiteRank tracks citations across ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, xAI Grok and Meta AI. Each prompt is fired 10 to 30 times per engine to control for model variance.

How accurate is the visibility score?

The visibility score is a composite of citation share, recommendation order and sentiment, aggregated across 10 to 30 replays per prompt per engine, and is reported with 95% confidence bands so users can distinguish signal from model variance.

Can I track competitors with CiteRank AI?

Yes. Basic tracks 5 competitors, Growth tracks 25, and Premium is unlimited with local per-branch tracking. There is no per-competitor charge on any plan.

What does the free audit include?

A 14-day free trial includes AI citation audits across keywords and all tracked LLMs, monitoring, PDF export, and a competitor view showing which brands AI cites instead of yours. No credit card is required to start.
