Does ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI mention your brand — or your competitor?
Pick the prompts your buyers actually ask. AuditAE runs them across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — and reports back: cited, not cited, and who ranked instead of you. Every audit also captures your Google rankings and Core Web Vitals.
What is AI visibility tracking?
AI visibility trackingis monitoring whether AI language models — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — mention or cite your brand when users ask questions relevant to your product category.
Traditional SEO tells you where you rank in the blue links. AI visibility tracking tells you whether you appear in the AI-generated answer above those links — the answer that increasingly replaces them. There is no page-2 for AI answers. Your brand is either cited with a source URL, mentioned without a link, or absent entirely.
AuditAE makes that visible — prompt by prompt, engine by engine. For the fundamentals, see AI visibility vs. SEO and answer-engine optimization.
How does AuditAE track AI citations?
The buyer questions your audience actually asks — branded (“is AuditAE legit?”), category (“best AI SEO tools 2026”), or comparison (“Ahrefs vs Semrush for AI search”). Up to 10 per run.
Each prompt fires against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini simultaneously. The full answer is captured, your brand detected, every URL citation recorded.
Cited or not, which URL, and who appeared instead — for every prompt × engine cell. Plus your Google keyword rankings and Core Web Vitals, so the whole picture lives in one workspace.
What is a good AI citation rate?
Your citation rate is the share of prompt × engine combinations where you earn a citation. Below 30% on the prompts you should own is a warning signal. 0% means AI engines are sending your buyers entirely to competitors.
AuditAE tracks your rate over time, so you can see whether content and schema changes are actually moving it — scored with a transparent methodology. (And here’s why ranking doesn’t mean cited.)
Competitors consistently win citations on your core prompts.
Some prompts earn citations, others not yet.
A recognized source on most relevant prompts.
Engines cite you consistently across your query set.
Find the prompts competitors win.
Prompt gap mining shows every prompt where a competitor earned a URL citation and you didn’t — your exact content gap, ranked by leverage.
How is AuditAE different from Ahrefs, SEMrush, Otterly, and Profound?
Ahrefs · SEMrush
Excellent at backlinks, keyword rankings, and site audits. Their “AI visibility” dashboards track AI Overview keyword presence — not whether your brand is cited with a URL in the answer, prompt by prompt.
Otterly · Profound
Strong breadth of AI mention monitoring, but enterprise-priced — and AI data lives apart from your Google rankings and Core Web Vitals.
AuditAE
Real prompts fired against live engines, reported at the prompt × engine level — alongside your rankings and Core Web Vitals.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI citation?
An AI citation is when an AI engine — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or Gemini — references your brand in its generated answer and links your website as a source. A citation is materially better than an unlinked mention: it directs traffic and signals authority to the AI system.
How is AI visibility different from SEO?
SEO optimizes your position in the blue links. AI visibility optimizes whether your content is selected as a source in AI-generated answers. They're related but distinct — a page ranking #1 in Google can still earn zero citations in AI Overviews, and vice versa. You need to track both.
Can I track competitors' citation rates?
Yes. AuditAE records which competitor domains are cited on every prompt × engine combination. The competitor breakdown shows share of voice, and prompt gap mining surfaces the exact prompts where a competitor earned a citation and you didn't.
Does AuditAE store the AI engine answers?
Yes. Every answer is stored with your audit — full answer text, exactly where your brand appears, and which URLs were cited as sources.
What's the difference between a one-time audit and a tracker?
An audit is a single snapshot — a baseline or a pre/post content experiment. A tracker is a scheduled recurring audit on a fixed prompt set, building the citation-rate trend that shows whether your content and schema work is moving the needle.
Is there a free trial?
Every new account starts with $5 in free credits — 100 checks, no credit card, no time limit. That covers a full 5-prompt × 4-engine audit across five different topics.
