Your rankings earned it. Now collect in AI answers.
The authority your team built over years is exactly what AI engines reward — but the scoreboard moved and the reporting didn''t follow. RankCited adds the citation layer: tracking, placements, and numbers your leadership can read next to rankings.
Why SEO teams add a citation layer
Roughly 45% of Google searches now open with an AI Overview, and the click-through you were measured on is shrinking under it. Meanwhile the queries themselves are migrating into assistants that answer without a results page at all. Your skills transfer — authority, links, content structure all still decide who gets cited — but the reporting stack doesn''t see any of it.
RankCited plugs into that gap without replacing your tooling: prompt-level tracking across ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and the rest, source attribution showing which links and coverage actually feed answers, and a vetted marketplace when you need placements your outreach can''t reach.
Use as much or as little as you want — plenty of SEO teams run the tracking themselves and call us only for the placement work. That''s what the link building marketplace is for.
Frequently asked questions
We already have Ahrefs/Semrush — why add this?
Keep them; they answer different questions. Rank trackers tell you where pages sit on results pages. We tell you whether generated answers cite you, which sources they use instead, and what changed after each placement — data the classic stacks are only beginning to touch, and none of them do the placement work.
Does AI visibility work conflict with our SEO roadmap?
It usually accelerates it. The placements that earn citations carry link equity, and the restructuring that makes pages quotable wins featured snippets. The overlap runs about 80% — the extra 20% is prompt tracking and source attribution you likely aren't doing yet.
Can we white-label or API the data into our own reporting?
Reports export unbranded (CSV and PDF) today, which covers most internal decks. Deeper API access is in development — agencies and in-house teams ask for the same thing, so it's high on the roadmap.
How do we justify the spend internally?
Run the free baseline against your tracked keywords: it shows what percentage already trigger AI answers and who's cited in them. That number — usually 40-60% and climbing — next to your shrinking CTR curve makes the case in one slide.
What Our Clients Say
The baseline showed 55% of our money keywords now trigger AI answers we appeared in exactly twice. That slide got me headcount and budget in the same meeting.

SEO Lead, marketplace
We kept our whole existing stack and bolted their citation tracking on top. Source attribution changed how we prioritize link targets — that alone was worth it.
