About CiteHawk

CiteHawk monitors AI-generated answers across platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews to determine how frequently a brand is recommended, mentioned, or cited. It compares visibility with competitors and records the sources influencing each response. The tool stores every answer verbatim along with the model version, enabling users to see what changed, understand the cause, and decide what to improve. It connects with Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console to relate AI visibility with real search and referral data, helping identify AI referral traffic and assess whether visibility improvements produce measurable results. CiteHawk provides an AI Visibility Score, rankings, and Scout recommendations to explain movements and suggest fixes. It supports both brands and agencies, offering a single platform to track one brand or manage multiple client portfolios with white-label reporting and client portals. The tool also integrates with AI platforms via MCP and API connectors, allowing users to access scores and citation gaps directly within their existing workflows.
