FAQ
AI search visibility measures how often your brand appears in responses from AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — when users ask questions relevant to your category. As AI-driven discovery grows, this metric is becoming as important as traditional search rankings.
CiteFit currently tracks ChatGPT-API proxy (gpt-4o w/ web search), Perplexity AI, and Google AI Overviews. We're actively evaluating additional platforms — including Claude and Gemini — for future support.
On the free plan you can trigger manual scans whenever you like. Paid plans include automated scheduled scans — daily or weekly depending on your tier — so you always have fresh data without any manual effort.
Yes. Every scan captures competitor mentions alongside your own, giving you a share-of-voice breakdown. You'll see which brands AI recommends in your category and exactly where you stand relative to them.
Yes — track one brand, run manual scans, and view your visibility score for free with no credit card required. Paid plans unlock automated scanning, multiple brands, alerts, and deeper analytics.
We run a statistically significant number of varied prompts per scan to capture how AI responds across different phrasings. Because LLM outputs vary, results represent a probabilistic visibility score — giving you a realistic picture rather than a single-query snapshot.
