What problem does it solve?
You publish helpful pages but have no repeatable way to see whether AI answer engines actually cite your URLs or only link to incumbents.
Who is it for?
Indie founders and technical marketers who already ship content and want agent-driven AEO citation audits without manually opening five different AI products.
Skip if: Teams that only need classic Google Search Console rankings, backlink counts, or on-page Lighthouse scores with no AI-citation angle.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registration, your agent can run citation checks per query and you get a clear picture of which domains and pages win AI citations so you can adjust content and structure.
- Per-query citation visibility across five AI answer surfaces
- Competitive citation gap signals for content updates
- Agent-callable citation checks inside your dev workflow
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Citation visibility is the core GEO problem after you ship content—you need to know if Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews are picking your pages versus competitors. GEO subphase is the canonical shelf because the server’s job is multi-engine citation checking, not classic rank tracking alone.
How it compares
MCP integration for multi-engine AI citation checks, not a monolithic SEO crawler or a one-off ChatGPT prompt template.
