Understand your brand's
AI visibility
Cite AI tracks how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity cite your brand in their answers. Use these docs to understand each feature and what to do with the data it surfaces.
play_circleQuickstart Guide
Getting started with Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) tracking only takes a few minutes. Follow these steps to set up monitoring for your brand:
- Create a Project: Input your company's primary brand domain (e.g.,
yourcompany.com). This domain is used to highlight your brand citations in all reports. - Add Tracked Queries: Define the exact prompts and questions you want to track (e.g., “best CRM for real estate agents”).
- Add Competitors: List up to 10 competitor domains to calculate your comparative Share of Voice.
- Initial Run: Cite AI automatically triggers an initial run as soon as you add your first queries so you can see results immediately without waiting for the weekly scheduled run.

Before analyzing your reports, make sure to read our concept guides detailing how generative search recommends your brand:
Important Billing & Plan Details
Cite AI provides a 14-day cardless free trial when you register, allowing you to track up to 5 queries under 1 project. Once the 14-day period expires, scheduled weekly executions are suspended (no new data will populate) until you upgrade to a paid subscription plan.
What is a “Tracked Query”?
Unlike traditional SEO tools where you track thousands of individual keywords, Cite AI tracks complex queries (full questions or prompts). Each query is executed continuously across multiple LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) to monitor citations.
Run Frequency & Scheduling
All projects run automatically on a scheduled weekly cadence at the beginning of the week. Active projects also trigger an initial run immediately when queries are first configured.
