See whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI recommend your business or a competitor. Tracked every month, with a list of what to fix.
Every report covers all four engines, Claude included. 20 real buyer questions, one score you can act on.
We ask the AI engines the questions your customers ask, record every answer, and score how often you're named, how high up, and how positively. Then we tell you exactly what to fix, in order.
Your first report arrives within 48 hours. Then we re-test every month, so you can see what changed and whether your fixes worked.
How monthly tracking works →Local services, online stores and B2B brands each get asked different questions. We test the right ones.
"Near me" questions now get two or three named businesses, not ten links. We check your Business Profile, reviews, directory listings and LocalBusiness schema.
“Emergency plumber open Sunday in Austin?”
45% of consumers now use AI tools for local recommendations, up from 6% a year earlier. BrightLocal, 2026
Local businesses →AI shopping answers compare products and link to whoever they trust. We check product schema, merchant feeds and the review sites the answers cite.
“Best running shoes for flat feet under $150?”
ChatGPT now discovers products through Shopify Catalog. OpenAI, March 2026
E-commerce brands →Buyers shortlist vendors in ChatGPT before they ever book a call. We test discovery, comparison, pricing and integration questions.

Your first report arrives within 48 hours. Every month after: fresh answers, an updated score and your next fixes.
Yes. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode now answer questions like 'best dentist near me' or 'emergency plumber open on Sunday' with two or three named businesses. They lean on Google Business Profile data, review volume and ratings, consistent name, address and phone details across directories, and local lists and review sites. Citedify runs the local questions your customers ask and shows which businesses get named instead of you and which sources the answers cite.
AI shopping answers pull from product pages with clear Product, Offer and Review schema, merchant feeds and catalogs (ChatGPT now discovers Shopify products through Shopify Catalog), and the review sites, Reddit threads and 'best of' roundups they trust. Brands missing from those sources get replaced by marketplaces or competitors. Citedify tests the product and comparison questions buyers ask and shows where your products drop out of the answer.
Answer engine optimization is the work of getting your business named in the answers AI assistants give, in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. SEO earns you a ranking in a list of links; AEO earns you a place in the two or three names an AI actually recommends. It is also called generative engine optimization (GEO).
We generate 20 questions your buyers actually ask (discovery, comparison, constraints, integration and pricing questions), ask them to ChatGPT with web search, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and record every answer. Each answer is scored for whether you are mentioned, how high up, and how positively. You get a visibility score, the competitors named instead of you, the sources AI cites, and a prioritised list of fixes.
Every month. Your first report arrives within 48 hours of signing up. After that we re-run your questions monthly, so you can see what changed after each model update and whether your fixes are working.
Every report covers ChatGPT (with web search), Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. There are no per-engine add-ons.
The score runs from 0 to 100 and weighs four things: mention rate (40%), how often you are named in relevant answers; position (30%), whether you are the first recommendation or an afterthought; sentiment (20%), how positively you are described; and engine coverage (10%), how consistent you are across engines.
AI engines recommend the businesses their sources agree on. Competitors that appear more often usually have more reviews and mentions on sites the engines trust, clearer and more consistent information across the web, structured data that is easy to read, and pages that answer the exact questions buyers ask. Your Citedify report shows which of these gaps matter most for you.
