Every keyword you target inside CiteClip gets checked daily against Tavily, and the same-cost paid tiers add Perplexity Sonar + Google AI Overviews. When a citation appears (or drops), you get an alert. When you publish a new article, we auto-track its target keyword from day one. Free 14-day trial, no credit card.

Why AI citations matter
Google's classic ranking model rewards backlinks and dwell time. AI search engines reward extractable, quotable content. A URL that scores well on the first can score zero on the second if it's missing the on-page signals AI engines scan for.
The practical question isn't “am I on page 1 of Google”. It's “when someone asks Perplexity or ChatGPT about my category, does my URL show up in the cited sources at the bottom”. If yes, that reader is now reading YOUR page instead of a competitor's summary. If no, you don't exist for that query.
Read our 23-signal GEO checklist for the specific signals AI engines score on, or run our free GEO audit to score a specific URL.
FAQ
Which AI engines does this cover?
Tavily is the AI search substrate behind Perplexity, Claude web search, and many third-party AI agents. Strong proxy for “am I citable by AI”. The paid product runs dedicated checks against Perplexity Sonar and Google AI Overviews independently.
What if my site isn't cited?
You'll see who IS cited. That's your competitor set for GEO. The fix is usually one of the 23 GEO signals — FAQPage schema, TL;DR block, llms.txt, or sentence structure under 25 words.
