The problem
Is ChatGPT citing your site — or your competitor's?
Google rankings are measurable in Search Console. LLM citations are not. ChatGPT answers a question about your niche — and you have no idea whether it linked to your guide or your competitor's. By the time you find out, you've already lost months of compounding AI-search traffic. CitationDesk closes that gap — starting with a free readiness audit today, and weekly programmatic polling in early access.

The free AI Visibility Score is live today. Citation tracking, drift detection, competitor-displacement alerts, citation graph, CSV export, and Slack/Discord/Telegram webhooks are rolling out in early access.
Weekly poll engine (early access)
At launch: archetype-aware test queries will hit four canonical LLM surfaces every Saturday 04:00 UTC (Free) or every 4h (Team), with full provenance per citation.
Drift detection
Slack, Discord, or email the moment your citation count drops 30% week-over-week — or a competitor displaces you on a tracked query.

Competitor displacement view
See which sites the LLMs cite when they stop citing you. Four-week timeline. Per-query, per-model.

FAQ
How CitationDesk works — five common questions.
Why does LLM citation matter if my pages already rank on Google?
Two reasons. First, AI-mediated search is growing fast (per Semrush 2025: 8-18% CTR on cited sources vs 2-5% on traditional SERP #3) and the same content can be invisible to ChatGPT while #1 on Google. Second, citation is a different optimization surface — extractability, entity coherence, and corroboration matter more than backlinks. CitationDesk surfaces that gap.
How does the poll engine reach Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini without an API?
Perplexity has a paid API (we use it primary). Anthropic Claude has an API. ChatGPT and Gemini we hit via authenticated browser automation for the surfaces that lack public APIs. We pass API costs through transparently — Free tier uses minimal calls; Pro and Team absorb costs.
How is this different from Otterly, Profound, or AthenaHQ?
See our /vs/ pages. Short version: we lead with Citation Readiness Score (a shareable, free audit) and we polled four LLM surfaces from day one. Most competitors focus on one or two surfaces and charge $200-1,000/mo entry pricing. Our €49 Pro tier is built for the SMB + content-creator segment they leave behind.
Do you store the actual responses?
Yes — full provenance (model, query, response timestamp, paragraph quoted, source URL position). You see every citation as a row, exportable to CSV. Retention: 12 months on Free, 24 months on Pro, indefinite on Team. Deletable on request.
Is the Free tier really useful, or is it a teaser?
The free AI Visibility Score (readiness audit) is genuinely useful right now — a full 0-100 audit of any URL, no signup. Continuous tracking (≈60 citation checks/month in a dashboard) is in early access; the Pro upgrade — daily granularity, more queries, alerts — lands at launch.
The free Citation Readiness Score takes 90 seconds and runs without signup.
