You can't see how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude describe you — and the numbers swing month to month. The Visibility Tracker measures both, honestly.
Product · ArticleIntroducing the Source-Gap Analyzer: get into the sources AI already trusts
Roughly 90-95% of AI citations point to pages you don't own. The new Source-Gap Analyzer finds the third-party sources ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude cite for your category, shows which ones leave you out, and ranks where to win next.

Before you chase citations, ask the cheaper question: is the page even built to be quoted? Audit My Page scores one URL on the five on-page signals that decide whether an engine can lift your answer cleanly.
Product · ArticleYour AI-visibility data, in your agent: introducing the CitedOS MCP server
A dashboard is a destination. Most of your work happens somewhere else — in your editor, your terminal, your agent. The CitedOS MCP server exposes your visibility and source-gap data as callable tools so you can ask "are we still cited for this?" without leaving the window you're already in.

There is one controlled GEO study. It tested nine on-page content edits across roughly 10,000 queries — here is what it observed, and every reason to read it as early evidence rather than a recipe.
