Citation Tracking
Citations are the currency of AI search
AI platforms don't just make up recommendations — they cite their sources. Scope shows you exactly which sources they trust, and which ones you're missing from.

Simple. Automatic. Actionable.
01
Extract citations from AI responses
When AI platforms respond to prompts, they often include or reference sources. Scope analyzes these verbatim responses to identify every URL, domain, or publication being cited in the context of your business category.
02
Map citations to your visibility
We correlate citation sources with your mention rate. Which directories, review platforms, and publications do AI models cite when recommending businesses like yours? Which ones do your highest-ranking competitors appear in that you don't?
03
Prioritized listing opportunities
Scope ranks citation sources by their impact on AI visibility in your category. You get a prioritized list of exactly where to list your business — with the highest-ROI sources at the top.
Use Cases
Built for real business outcomes
Stop guessing which directories to list in
There are hundreds of business directories. Most of them do nothing for AI visibility. Citation Tracking shows you the 5–10 that actually move the needle for businesses in your category — based on real data about what AI platforms cite.
Build a citation profile that AI trusts
AI recommendation systems favor businesses with consistent, authoritative mentions across trusted sources. Understanding exactly which sources matter for your category lets you build a citation profile that signals credibility to AI platforms.
Monitor citation changes over time
As you add new listings and build your citation profile, Scope tracks whether those sources are being cited in AI responses. You can directly measure which citation investments are improving your AI visibility.
Capabilities
Under the hood
Platform-specific citation preferences
Each AI platform weights sources differently. Perplexity tends to cite review sites and listicles. ChatGPT has different preferences based on its training data. Scope distinguishes between these preferences so you can prioritize sources that move the needle on each specific platform where you're underperforming.
Review sentiment in cited sources
It's not enough to be listed — the sentiment of your reviews and mentions in cited sources matters. A business with 50 five-star reviews in the right directories will outrank a competitor with 200 mixed reviews. Scope tracks the review quality of your citation profile, not just the presence.
Competitor citation gap analysis
Scope shows you every citation source where your competitors appear that you don't. These are your highest-priority targets. We even estimate the expected visibility impact of filling each gap — so you can prioritize your effort for maximum return.

We had no idea we weren't showing up in ChatGPT. Within six weeks of following Scope's action plan, we became the top-recommended clinic in our area. New patients are now telling us they found us through AI.
Sarah Chen
Owner, Bright Smile Dental
Our SaaS wasn't appearing when people asked AI for 'best project management tools'. Scope fixed that. Within a month we're consistently recommended on all four platforms.
Alex Kim
Founder, TaskFlow
The monthly reports show exactly where we stand. It's like SEO analytics but for the AI era. We went from 32 to 78 — and leads from AI referrals are up 40%.
Jennifer Park
Marketing Director, Summit Law
Scope told us exactly which directories Perplexity was citing for our category. We listed ourselves in 3 of them and within two weeks we started showing up in recommendations.
Marcus Rodriguez
Owner, Verde Landscaping
I was skeptical — we've tried every SEO tool. But Scope is different because it actually shows you the AI responses verbatim. Seeing your business missing from those answers is a wake-up call.

I run a roofing company. I had no idea what 'AI visibility' even meant until I did the free scan and saw my competitors being recommended instead of me for every single query. Got that fixed within 3 weeks.
