AI is recommending your competitors.
Are they recommending you?
Every day, millions ask AI assistants for recommendations. Your competitors might be winning those recommendations while you're invisible. Traditional SEO tools can't tell you—that's where CiteScore comes in.
- You don't know if AI recommends you—or your competitors instead
- You can't see your share of AI recommendations in your category
- Competitors may be gaining ground while you're blind to it
- Traditional SEO doesn't cover generative AI answers
CiteScore shows you exactly who AI recommends and which sources it cites—then fixes the gaps, with you or for you.
User asks:
"What's the best analytics tool for marketing teams?"

I built CiteScore because I kept seeing brands lose traffic to AI assistants and having no way to measure it, let alone fix it. The tools that existed either stopped at tracking or jumped straight to expensive consulting. There was nothing in between that gave you a score, showed you the gaps, and helped you close them.

AI SEO & GEO questions answered.
Everything you need to know about AI visibility, AEO, and LLM SEO.
