The problem

Your buyers ask AI. But AI does not mention your brand.

Buyers now ask engines like these before they ever visit your site. The answer they read decides who makes the shortlist.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common answers about ThriveStack citedby, answer engine optimization and how AI visibility fits with ThriveStack.

What is ThriveStack citedby, and how does it relate to ThriveStack?

ThriveStack citedby is a product from ThriveStack. It tracks and improves how AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Grok mention your brand. It is quick to set up, and it connects to the full ThriveStack Revenue Intelligence suite when you want to upgrade.

What is an AI visibility tool, and what should it track?

An AI visibility tool shows whether engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Google AI Overviews mention and cite your brand when buyers ask category questions. That is your AI brand visibility. A good tool tracks citations by engine, compares you with rivals, ranks the fixes and ties AI traffic to revenue. ThriveStack citedby does all four in one place.

What is answer engine optimization (AEO), and how is it different from SEO?

In the AEO vs SEO and GEO vs SEO debate, you do not pick one side. SEO aims to put your pages at the top of Google. AEO, also called GEO, aims to get AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini to mention and recommend your brand. For a quick start, read our guide to increasing AI visibility within days. Then see our research on how Reddit discussions feed AI citations.

How does the pricing work, and is the audit really free?

Yes. The first AI readiness and SEO content audit is free. Paid plans start at $28 a month, billed annually, plus usage. You get copy-and-paste schema, ongoing prompt tests, ChatGPT Ads monitoring and revenue attribution.

Do I need engineering help to deploy the fixes?

No. ThriveStack citedby is built for go-to-market and growth teams. It writes finished schema, answer-shaped content briefs and tag components. You push them to Webflow, WordPress, Next.js or any modern CMS with one copy-paste or click.

How does ThriveStack citedby tie citations to pipeline value?

It uses ThriveStack's attribution layer. It connects visitor referrals and the search question behind each visit to signups and closed deals in your CRM. That gives you a dollar value for each AI platform that recommends you.
