Use cases
Who uses Citewise AI?
Anyone whose customers ask AI assistants for recommendations before they buy.
Who it's for
SaaS founders
Find out whether assistants recommend you for the problems you solve, and which competitors they name instead.
Marketing teams
Add AI visibility to your reporting next to SEO and paid. Show leadership a trend line, not anecdotes.
Agencies
Track several client brands in one account, export results and share printable reports with clients.
E-commerce brands
See whether assistants suggest your products when shoppers ask for recommendations and comparisons.
A typical setup, step by step
Most teams start the same way, whatever their market:
- One project per brand. Add your brand name, any alternative spellings and your domain, so Citewise AI can also detect when your own site is cited. Agencies create one project per client, up to 10 per account.
- Three to eight competitors. Pick the brands you most often lose deals to. They power the share-of-voice comparison and show you which answers you're missing from.
- Ten to thirty prompts. Mix discovery questions ("best X for Y"), comparisons, alternatives and a few branded questions. Our buyer prompt generator gives you a starting list, and our guide to writing prompts buyers actually ask explains how to refine it.
- A weekly schedule. Weekly runs are enough to see trends for most brands; switch to daily around launches or campaigns. The pricing calculator shows how many credits a schedule uses.
- Act on the sources. The most-cited domains in your category show where your reputation is being formed. Start there, then watch whether your visibility moves over the following runs.
What each team gets out of it
SaaS founders
A clear answer to "do AI assistants recommend us for the problems we solve?", per engine and per question, plus the competitors that appear instead. Founders often use the answer archive to spot outdated or inaccurate descriptions of their product.
Marketing teams
A trend line for AI visibility that sits next to SEO and paid metrics in monthly reporting. CSV export and the REST API make it easy to pull the numbers into existing dashboards.
Agencies
Multi-brand tracking in one account, printable reports for clients and a credit model that scales with the number of prompts rather than seats. See all features.
E-commerce brands
Visibility for the product questions shoppers ask, such as "best", "cheapest" and "alternatives to", and a list of the review sites and publications assistants rely on in your category.
Use case questions
Can an agency track several clients in one account?
Yes. Each client is a separate project with its own competitors, prompts and schedule, up to 10 projects per account. Credits are shared across projects.
Is Citewise AI useful for local businesses?
Yes, if your customers ask assistants for local recommendations. Include the city or area in your prompts, for example "best accountant in Kansas City".
How long until I see useful trends?
One run shows where you stand today. Three or four weekly runs are usually enough to separate real changes from normal run-to-run variation.
Do I need technical skills?
No. Setup takes a few minutes in the dashboard. The REST API is optional, for teams that want the data in their own tools.
