Stored answers · real audits

What the engines actually said.

Every line below is read back from a stored audit: what was asked, the engines’ real answers, and who they named.

AI answers change. Your score moves with them.

The report card is a free snapshot. Pro re-runs your audit weekly and tracks your score over time, so a slip shows up on your chart before it shows up in your foot traffic.

Real answers in, honest grade out.

  1. Find your business

    Type your name. Google Places resolves your real profile and builds your same-category competitor set automatically. No forms.

  2. We ask the AI engines real questions

    Twelve local-intent questions (“best … near …”, “where should I …”) go to every engine on the current roster — OpenAI · web search, Gemini · Google Search grounding, and Claude · web search — each honestly labeled by API and grounding method. A report is a snapshot, so every card names the engines that actually answered it on the day it was run.

  3. You get a grade and your top gaps

    Code, not an AI, computes your 0–100 score and letter grade from the stored answers, ranks you against your competitors, and diagnoses the gaps holding you back, each with the observed evidence.

Why trust the number?

Every score comes from real engine answers and real Google data. Nothing is simulated. Your report is an immutable snapshot: the link you share renders identically forever, and every claim shows the observed evidence behind it.

Computed in code, never simulated.

Show every client where they stand in AI answers.

Local-SEO agencies use Citation to hand clients an honest, evidence-backed report card: their AI visibility across the major AI engines, ranked against real local competitors and computed from real engine answers, never estimates.

Not surveyed yet

Multi-client workspaces and white-label reporting are on the roadmap. If that's your motion, we want to hear from the first agencies putting it to work.
