Summary
CiteVista is a GEO and AEO analytics platform that simulates customer prompts against large language models to measure whether they cite a brand's pages or a competitor's. A separate technical audit checks whether AI crawlers can read the site at all.
- From
- Freethen $15/100 credits
- Free tier
- Yes50 free credits on signup, no credit card required; credits never expire and work across every feature. At the single published rate of 10 credits per Brand Perception report, the grant covers about five such reports.
What it does
- Monitors AI answers
- YesRuns prompts against the models and scores how often the brand's pages get cited versus rivals, but each check is a manual run rather than continuous monitoring.
CiteVista measures your brand's citation visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more — showing you exactly where you appear, where…
citevista.com - Optimises your content
- PartlyIt analyses a page you own and ranks what failed, but the findings are technical and structural (bot access, headings, JS rendering, schema) rather than guidance on the copy itself.
The report identifies your Top Critical Issues automatically — the highest-weight failed checks across all three modules, sorted by impact.
citevista.com/solutions/ai-technical-au… - Generates content
- NoThe only thing it generates is prompt clusters and analysis reports; the vendor describes its own scope as simulate, measure and understand, with no writing feature on any page.
CiteVista gives brands and marketing teams the ability to simulate, measure, and understand their visibility inside AI-generated responses.
citevista.com/about - Publishes to your site
- NoThe five enumerated modules are all analysis and audit tools; no CMS, WordPress or Webflow connection is named anywhere on the site, terms or privacy policy.
GEO and AEO analysis tools built to measure brand visibility in AI-generated answers. Explore each module below.
citevista.com - Technical AEO
- YesA dedicated audit checks robots.txt and per-bot permissions, heading and language structure, JavaScript render dependency and JSON-LD schema including sameAs; it diagnoses rather than fixes.
The AI Technical Audit checks whether your site is technically visible to LLMs: bot access permissions, content structure, JavaScript render…
citevista.com - Done-for-you service
- NoThe terms rule out human delivery explicitly: every report is produced by software, so there is no done-for-you GEO engagement behind any tier.
We do not provide any 1:1 consulting, manual services, or bespoke customized products.

Answer engines
- ChatGPT
- YesOne of three selectable models for citation and query analysis; note the vendor's own caveat that ChatGPT sources reflect pages retrieved, not necessarily pages cited.
Choose which AI model to analyze — ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Then enter your brand domain.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Perplexity
- YesSelectable alongside ChatGPT and Gemini in Citation Visibility and Query Intelligence, though the Brand Perception module still lists Perplexity as coming soon.
Choose which AI model to analyze — ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Then enter your brand domain.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Gemini

Choose which AI model to analyze — currently Google Gemini, with ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity coming soon.
citevista.com/solutions/brand-perception - Google AI Overviews

citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Google AI Mode
- NoGoogle AI Mode is never mentioned on the site and falls outside the closed three-model selector that defines what the platform can query.
Choose which AI model to analyze — ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Then enter your brand domain.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Claude
- NoClaude is named only as coming soon in Brand Perception and is absent from the three-model selector elsewhere; ClaudeBot appears solely as a crawler-permission check in the audit.
Choose which AI model to analyze — currently Google Gemini, with ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity coming soon.
citevista.com/solutions/brand-perception - Microsoft Copilot
- NoThe model selector is a closed list of three chat engines and Copilot is not among them; the word appears nowhere on the site, terms or privacy policy.
Choose which AI model to analyze — ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Then enter your brand domain.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Grok
- NoGrok is not offered: the analysis modules enumerate ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity only, and xAI is not mentioned on any page of the site.
Choose which AI model to analyze — ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Then enter your brand domain.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - DeepSeek
- NoAbsent from the three-engine selector and from every other page; DeepSeek is not named even in the audit's list of six AI crawlers.
Choose which AI model to analyze — ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Then enter your brand domain.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Meta AI
- NoMeta AI is not a selectable model and is nowhere on the site; the enumerated coverage stops at ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
Choose which AI model to analyze — ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Then enter your brand domain.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Coverage in the vendor’s words

What it reports
- Names the cited sources
- YesThis is the core report: the specific source URLs each model pulled, ranked citing domains, and per-query source frequency averaged over repeated runs of the same prompt.
Results show your citation score, which competitors get cited instead, which specific URLs AI is pulling from, and the actual AI-generated response.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Competitor tracking
- YesRivals surface automatically from the same run, ranked by citations, and drill down per prompt and URL; the site describes no way to pre-set a fixed watchlist of named competitors.
Click any competitor to see their citation breakdown by individual prompt and which URLs they're getting cited for.
citevista.com/solutions/citation-visibi… - Brand sentiment
- YesA whole module returns market position, tone of voice, core keywords and a dominant trait with a 0-100 confidence score, run against live web search or training data.
The dominant communication attributes AI associates with your brand — the voice your brand carries in the model's understanding.
citevista.com/solutions/brand-perception - Recommendations
- PartlyTechnical audits rank your highest-impact failed checks, but the vendor itself frames guidance on why visibility gaps exist and what to do about them as still being built.
CiteVista measures both — and is actively expanding toward actionable guidance on why visibility gaps exist and what to do about them.
citevista.com/about - AI crawler analytics
- PartlyIt reports whether six named AI crawlers are permitted for a URL, including CDN rules that silently override robots.txt, but these are permission checks, not log-based counts of real bot hits.
Access Control — robots.txt availability, URL-level blocking rules, per-bot AI crawler permissions (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot,…
citevista.com/solutions/ai-technical-au… - Wrong answers about you
- PartlyBrand Perception flags where the model's representation diverges from your intended positioning; there is no false-claim detector.
This analysis reveals exactly what that opinion is: how AI positions you in your market, which entities and keywords it associates with you, your…

Plans and signing up
- Prompt or credit allowance
- YesMetered in credits rather than prompt seats: 50 free at signup, packs of 100, 200 or 300, and one published unit rate of ten credits per Brand Perception report.
Users purchase credits which are then consumed to initiate specific automated analyses (e.g., 10 credits for a Brand Perception report).
citevista.com/terms - How often it checks
- PartlyOn demand only: every analysis is a run the user initiates and pays credits for at that moment, and no scheduled daily or weekly re-check is described on any page.
Fulfillment occurs the moment the analysis is initiated or the report is generated by the AI system.
citevista.com/terms - Card required to start
- NoThe 50-credit grant needs no card and there is no subscription to cancel; a card is only involved when you buy a credit pack through the merchant of record.
No monthly subscriptions. No credit card required. Start with 50 free credits and only pay for what you use.
citevista.com - Self-serve signup
- YesSign in, spend the free credits and buy packs without talking to anyone; the vendor calls delivery fully automated. Only the Custom Enterprise tier routes through a contact form.
