Best tools to track brand visibility in AI search?
For monitoring how your brand appears across AI answers, buyers most often reach for Otterly, Profound, and Peec AI. Each measures citations across live AI answer engines, with competitor comparisons and weekly trend tracking.

AI engines in the measurement matrix: Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and DeepSeek, by plan.
tracks scored 0 to 100 on every audit: GEO for AI answers, SEO for classic search.
repeatable: the same audit re-run gives the same score, so progress is provable.
Measured to date: 63 audits across 9 domains. Our own current score: CITE 47 / SEO 99. We publish it, gaps and all. How each number is measured is documented on the methodology page.
What does the report actually measure?
CITE grades your domain on citation, identity, trust, and eminence, measured against the competitors that show up instead of you. Dated, so you can watch it move.
- Real buyer queries, not vanity keywords
- Competitor comparison on every query
- A prioritized top-5 fix list

What happens after the first report?
A score you check once is a snapshot. The member dashboard is a full analytics tool: pick a property top-left, then read Overview, GEO, and SEO as separate report pages, each with its own trends, evidence, and next actions.
- Overview, GEO, and SEO as separate report pages per property
- Fix tracker with real before/after attribution
- Content opportunities: the queries AI answers skip you on, and which sources win them
- Citation rate by platform over time, plus the exact sources AI answers cite
- Competitor benchmark on the same buyer queries, no extra runs
- Audit-to-audit diff: exactly what changed since the last run, per dimension
- Peer benchmark: your score against the distribution of every domain we measure
The audit finds the gap. The Content Agent drafts the fix.
Most tools stop at a dashboard. BeCited turns every measured gap into work you can ship, and never ships anything for you: every draft waits behind your approval.
- Content Agent
- On Growth and Scale, a weekly or monthly agent turns your top content opportunities into citable drafts: question-anchored, self-contained, sourced. It drafts; you review and publish.
- Ask your data
- Ask the dashboard questions in plain language: “which competitor took the queries we lost this month?” Answers come from your measured data, with the evidence attached.
- Human gate
- No auto-publishing, ever. Tools that post to Reddit and Medium on your behalf are gambling with your brand. Drafts, evidence, and a publish button that stays yours.

See the agency plansHow does closed-loop GEO work?
- GEO
- Earning citations inside AI-written answers. Optimizes the passage: self-contained, question-anchored, corroborated by third parties. Named by the 2023 GEO research paper.
- SEO
- Earning positions in classic search results. Optimizes the page: crawlable, fast, structured with schema.org markup, deep enough to win the click.
A dated, repeatable baseline
We run your real buyer queries across up to seven AI answer engines, from Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini to ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and DeepSeek, then score where an answer exists, whether it names you, and which competitor it names instead.
The competitor gap, query by query
For every query a rival is cited on and you are not, we find why: structure, statistics, freshness, schema, third-party presence. You see exactly what the answer rewards.
The work, tracked as you ship it
Citable passages, structured data, entity cleanup, directory presence. Mark each one done in the dashboard and the next re-run checks it against the last one automatically. You keep the publish button.
Two tools you can use before you decide anything.
Same deterministic engine as the paid product, scoped down to one question each. No email gate, nothing uploaded anywhere.
Do it yourself, or have us do it.
One ladder. The engine is the same at every step. The only thing that changes is how much of the work we take off your plate.

We built this site to the standard we sell.
Structured data, citable copy, clean entity signals. We score ourselves the same way we score you, publish the fix list, and work it. The measurement is honest about what it can and cannot see.

What we do not promise
- No ranking or citation guarantees. We commit to measurement and work, not to platform behavior.
- No fake mentions, no sockpuppets, no content written only to trick a model.
- You keep the publish button. Every outward step passes a human approval gate.
- The AI-visibility layer is a snapshot and can shift run to run. Nothing we cannot measure is shown as proof.
Answered the way AI engines can quote.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of making a brand visible in AI-generated answers. Where SEO optimizes for ranked links in search results, GEO optimizes for being cited by answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, through citable content, structured data, and third-party presence.
What is the difference between GEO and SEO?
Less than the label suggests. Google's own guidance is blunt: optimizing for generative AI search is optimizing for the search experience, and thus still SEO. There is no separate writing style that AI systems reward. What genuinely differs is the surface you are competing on: an AI answer names a handful of brands and quotes a handful of third-party sources, so being absent from those sources is a distinct, measurable gap that a rank tracker never shows you. BeCited measures the classic fundamentals and that answer surface in one audit, and does not sell you a GEO-specific writing trick.
What does the free BeCited report measure?
The free report computes two scores from real data in seconds: a CITE score for AI-answer visibility, covering citation, identity, trust, and eminence, and an SEO Health score across technical, on-page, content, schema, and performance checks. It includes a prioritized fix list per track.
Does BeCited guarantee citations or rankings?
No. BeCited commits to measurement and work, not to platform behavior. AI answers change run to run, so visibility is reported as dated snapshots, never as a promise. Nothing unmeasured is presented as proof, and every recommendation traces back to a measured gap.
Which AI engines does BeCited measure?
BeCited measures up to seven AI answer engines: Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and DeepSeek. Engine coverage scales by plan, from three engines on Starter to all seven on Scale, and every engine is measured with the same deterministic, repeatable method. The free report includes Perplexity and Gemini, so even the free tier measures a Google-grounded answer surface.
Can I use BeCited from Claude, Cursor, or another AI assistant?
Yes. BeCited ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at becited.co/api/mcp, so any MCP client, including Claude and Cursor, can run audits as a tool. Without a key you get free teaser depth; a dashboard API key unlocks your plan depth, reports, and fix lists.
What integrations does BeCited offer?
BeCited integrates with Slack and Microsoft Teams for score alerts, Google Search Console for classic-search clicks alongside AI visibility, and your own tooling through a REST API with dashboard-managed keys. Members can also embed a live score badge that links back to their public report.
Does BeCited work for agencies?
Yes. Scale includes an agency rollup that shows every client property on one screen, client-ready PDF reports branded with your own logo and colors, and team seats for analysts. Scale covers up to 5 properties and Agency up to 15; larger portfolios get a quote at becited.co/contact. Each client keeps its own dashboard, fix tracker, and audit history.
Does BeCited write content automatically?
BeCited drafts, but never publishes. On Growth and Scale plans, the Content Agent turns measured content gaps into citable draft passages on a weekly or monthly schedule. Every draft waits for human review: no auto-posting to your site or to third-party platforms, ever.
How much does BeCited cost?
The instant report is free with no credit card. Monthly plans run in three tracks: SEO from $39, GEO from $79, and the GEO + SEO bundle from $99 to $899 per month, each adding monthly re-audits, trend history, deeper query coverage, and more AI engines as you go up (3 engines on Starter, 4 on Growth, all 7 on Scale and Agency).
