Projects
A Project is a dedicated workspace for a specific brand domain. Within each project, you configure domains, competitor targets, tracked prompts/queries, and scheduled cadences.

Project Management & Queries
Three Ways to Add Queries
All added queries show up in your Project Details → Queries tab. Once configured, they are submitted to AI search engines to track your brand citations.
1. Custom Queries
What it does: Lets you manually type specific search queries and configure custom intent (e.g. commercial, informational), subdomain, local geographic market (geo), and whether the query is freshness-sensitive.
Why use it: Best for tracking highly specific search terms, long-tail customer questions, or exact keywords relevant to your local SEO target audience.
2. Catalog Queries
What it does: Allows you to pick from a pre-loaded library of common industry-specific templates categorized by business type (e.g. Legal Services, Banking, Software).
Why use it: Best for bootstrapping your project quickly with high-value standard industry search terms without typing them manually.
3. Generate AI Queries
What it does: Uses Gemini to analyze your website domain, geographic market, and business description to formulate 15 custom queries your target customers actually ask conversational search engines.
Why use it: Best for identifying conversational search trends, question-based prompts, and unexpected search phrases tailored specifically to your unique business offerings.
Scheduled Runs
Projects execute automatically weekly at the beginning of the week. Aggregated runs keep history charts stable. Projects under expired trials are skipped from scheduled runs until upgraded.
Automatic Initial Run
When you add queries to a project for the first time, Cite AI automatically triggers an initial onboarding run immediately. This lets you view your first report within minutes without waiting for the weekly scheduled run.
Competitor Tracking
Monitor up to 10 competitor domains. Their visibility scores and citations are tracked alongside yours in the Comparison and Content Gap tabs.
