We pulled 39,948 citation events from 72 audited crypto brands across the 5 AI engines buyers actually use, then read the pages behind 1,357 of those citations by hand, to answer one question: what does it really take to get cited by AI? The findings break a lot of marketing intuition. Here is the data, free.

No vibes, no vanity metrics. Every claim in the report is tied to a number you can act on.
You will get the full cite-rate breakdown by outlet tier, the engine-disagreement data, the methodology behind every number, and a plain-English playbook for where to spend your next marketing dollar.
And the horizontal AEO tools were built for SaaS: they don't rank crypto outlets, understand a token launch, or know a DeFi answer shouldn't cite a gaming blog. So we measured crypto on its own terms. This report is the first cut of that data, and the tool that measures your own version of it goes live this week.
