See exactly how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews answer when buyers search your brand, your category, or your competitors. ~60s scan. Free. No signup. Then act on a P0/P1/P2 fix script ranked by impact.
Four signals power one score, measured across 50 prompts × 5 engines, re-scored weekly.
We query 5 AI engines on category prompts in real time. Stream the transcript as it scans. Reveal 3 walled insights instantly. The full forensic report is in the $299 Audit Plus.
We audit the engines your buyers actually use, weighted by real buyer share, not hype. Claude and Grok join as their crypto query volume grows.
Real category prompts, intercepted across engines. The brands AI names, and where you land.
It's the most common objection. We hear it every week. The answer is honest: yes, but you'll get a screenshot, not a strategy.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode all return different results based on where you're searching from. Running the prompt yourself from your office shows you your office's answer, not what a buyer in Singapore sees.
What you need isn't "did I show up?", it's "across 20 buyer-style prompts spanning discovery, comparison, trust, implementation, due diligence, what's my appearance rate?" That's a measurement, not a screenshot.
Knowing you're at 12% citation rate doesn't fix anything. Knowing the 3 specific moves that lift you to 28% in 90 days does. That requires comparing your results against the dataset of 3,646 events we've collected.
Two sample brands. Both at low single-digit citation rates at start. After implementing the audit's P0/P1 moves over 4–6 weeks, both moved into the top 4 most-cited brands for their category.

The forensics that move your citation rate, measured continuously, not once.
We map how every engine positions you across category prompts, pinpoint the queries you're losing, and hand you the moves that flip them.
Every rival's citation share, side by side over time. See who's gaining, who's slipping, and which answers are up for grabs.
P0/P1/P2 moves ordered by effort vs. projected score lift, so your team always knows the single highest-leverage thing to ship next.
20 buyer-style prompts across the full journey × 5 engines. Real coverage of how buyers actually ask, every cited URL captured, every miss flagged.
