Overview
A look at usecite.ai
Cite AI is an answer engine optimization platform that tracks citations of your brand across six AI engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. The platform queries these engines weekly from your target markets—city-by-city for local businesses—and captures exact citations, showing which businesses AI recommends and where competitive gaps exist.
The platform provides automated weekly tracking across all six engines, per-engine attribution to see which engines cite you and how that changes over time, and per-market targeting so you can track prompts at city or neighborhood level. Users can inspect prompt-level performance, identify gaps where competitors are cited and you're not, and audit their website against factors that determine AI citability.
Cite AI offers a 14-day free trial without requiring a credit card, giving access to 20 prompts and 1 project. Paid plans start at $19/month for 30 prompts and scale to $299/month for agencies tracking 10 client projects with 500 prompts.

FAQ
- What is a citation and why does it matter?
- A citation is a reference or link to a website in an AI engine's answer. When an LLM retrieves web pages in response to a question, it cites them as sources. If your brand is cited, you get direct visibility, traffic and trust. For local businesses, AI often names a business with its phone number without linking to any website. Cite AI tracks both citations and business names, matching businesses by Google listing and domain.
- Does Cite AI work for local businesses?
- Yes, it is built specifically for local businesses. When you tag a prompt with a city or metro, Cite AI queries each engine as if from that location, showing competitors for those specific customers. Perplexity only localizes at country level so those results are national. For Google map results, the lever is the Google Business Profile, not website content.
- How often does Cite AI check the answer engines?
- Cite AI probes the supported answer engines weekly to update the dashboard. This weekly schedule filters out daily fluctuations and noise, providing stable, reliable trends for optimization efforts.
- Is a credit card required for the 14-day trial?
- No, you can sign up for the 14-day trial without entering a credit card. The free trial includes access to track 20 prompts in 1 project to experience the platform before upgrading.
- Which AI answer engines are supported?
- Cite AI supports tracking and citation extraction across six engines: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode.
