CiteRank

CiteRank is a visibility-monitoring service for the new class of AI answer engines. It re-asks configured buyer questions to multiple AI engines on a weekly cadence and records whether each engine linked a page on your domain (cited), typed your brand without linking (named), or left the question to somebody else (absent). The product presents results as a board (one row per question, one column per engine) and supplements that board with weekly lists of the competitor domains and the third-party pages the engines read instead of yours. Reports are delivered by email and the dashboard is accessed by a single emailed link (no password). The tool is aimed at product and marketing teams who want an operational work queue (pages to appear on) rather than a vanity visibility metric.

One row per buyer question, one column per engine. From $5/mo.

Key Features

Weekly multi-engine probes

Re-asks each configured buyer question of the covered engines once every seven days and records cite/named/absent/not asked states.

Board view (one row per question, one column per engine)

A matrix that shows a straight answer in every cell for the questions and engines covered by your plan.

Competitor share-of-voice and cited-source lists

A weekly list of competitor domains engines cited and the third-party pages behind answers to drive remediation work.

Emailed dashboard link & weekly reports

Reports are mailed on a Monday and the only credential is a dashboard link emailed on purchase; no password is created.

Shared scheduled browser pool

Probes run on a shared, scheduled browser pool (design choice that underpins weekly scheduling rather than on-demand runs).

Plan-based coverage

Plans control number of brands/products, questions, and which engines are probed (e.g., Solo covers three engines; Founder and Studio cover five).

Privacy-minded payment handling

Card details are handled via Stripe Checkout so payment card data never reaches the site.

Use Cases

Monitor AI visibility across engines

Track whether major answer engines cite your site or mention your brand for target buyer queries and watch trends weekly.

Prioritise content and outreach work

Use the cited-source and competitor domain lists as a hands-on work queue to get your pages onto the third-party pages engines read.

Competitive share-of-voice analysis

See which competitor domains answer your buyer questions across AI engines to identify where to focus SEO/PR efforts.

Product marketing performance monitoring

Founders and product teams can watch whether the engines surface their product for core buyer questions and measure change over time.

Integrations

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude

The answer engines CiteRank probes weekly to record citation and naming behavior.

Stripe

Payment processing: card details entered on Stripe Checkout and never reach the site.

Supabase

Serves the product's own index database.

Vercel

Hosting and edge delivery; request logs are recorded there.

Resend

Delivers the one email the subscribe form sends (and other transactional emails).

PostHog

Product analytics with IP-truncated data.

Benefits

Clear weekly measurement of whether AI engines link to or name your brand for buyer queries.
Actionable lists of third-party pages and competitor domains to target (work queue rather than a single visibility metric).
Low-cost entry plans for small teams and founders with predictable weekly cadence.
No password to manage — dashboard access via emailed link; payment handled by Stripe.

Limitations

Weekly cadence only — probes run on a weekly schedule rather than on-demand (design choice based on probe reliability).
The product measures visibility; it does not modify or influence engine answers.
Coverage and frequency are plan-limited (number of brands/products, questions, and engines depend on chosen plan).
Access is via an emailed dashboard link only (no password), which has security trade-offs if the link is exposed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does $5 buy?
Solo at $5 gives ten of your own questions on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, re-asked every week with no metering.
I ship more than one product. Is that more than one subscription?
No. Studio is $19 for six brands and one report each; multiple products can be covered under one subscription depending on the plan.
Why weekly and not on demand?
Answer engines do not change their minds hourly and single runs are unreliable; a weekly cycle makes trends meaningful. On-demand probing at volume is available from enterprise tools.
What is the difference between cited, named and absent?
Cited means the engine linked a page on your domain. Named means it typed your brand into the answer without linking. Absent means somebody else answered the question.
Will this get me into ChatGPT?
No. CiteRank measures what engines say; it does not change an engine's answers. The product provides the list of pages engines read instead of yours so you can act.
What happens when an engine cannot be reached?
The report states when a probe could not run; a 'could not ask' is never reported as an absence of citation.
I lost the dashboard link. How do I get back in?
Enter the address you subscribed with on the dashboard-link page and the dashboard link is emailed to that address again.
How do I cancel?
Cancel from the Stripe receipt or by writing to [email protected]; cancelling stops the next charge and new probes but history stays readable.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Step 1: Choose and purchase a plan (Solo $5, Founder $12, Studio $19) via the site.
  2. 2 Step 2: Receive the dashboard link emailed to the address you subscribed with (this link is your credential).
  3. 3 Step 3: Review or edit the suggested questions (the product reads your site and proposes three questions) and let weekly probes run; read weekly emailed reports.
