CiteGraph measures which products AI assistants actually recommend, and shows you how to become one of them. When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity "what's the best tool for X", the same few brands take almost every answer. CiteGraph asks those real buyer questions across all four engines, repeatedly, and reports how often you are named, who wins instead, which pages the engines cite, and the exact sentence your site is missing. Every rate is published with a margin of error, because AI engines answer differently run to run and single-run scores are noise.
What it does
Each scan runs 10 to 20 buyer questions, 3 to 5 times per engine, across four engines. You get a shareable report with the verbatim answers, the competitors named instead of you, the pages the engines cited, and, for every lost question, a drafted fix: the specific claim that would put you in the answer and where it needs to exist. Weekly re-scans track movement, flag question-level wins and losses, and surface newly discovered rivals along with the verbatim phrases AI uses to describe each brand.
Who it's for
Founders and marketers who suspect AI assistants are recommending their competitors, SEO and content teams adding answer-engine optimization to their work, and agencies reporting AI visibility to clients (white-label reports on the Agency plan).
Pricing and access
There is no free tier, because every scan makes real API calls. Instead there are two honest ways in: pay per scan (first purchase is 2 full scans for $12, then $12 a scan, no subscription) or subscribe for weekly tracking, from $49/month (Starter) up to $499/month (Agency), each with a 7-day trial. CiteGraph's public category leaderboards, research and methodology are free with no signup.

Quick answers
Does CiteGraph guarantee AI will mention my product? No, and no honest tool can. It shows you exactly why you are absent and what to change; the next scan measures whether it worked.
Which AI engines are covered? The ChatGPT family, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, all queried via official APIs with live web search.
Is there a free version? The category leaderboards and methodology are free without signup. Scans are paid because they cost real money to run.
