Campaigns report visibility, competing brands and cited sources. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://localdominator.co/features/ai-tracker/ | | Price | from $39/month billed monthly, $33/month billed annually | | Free trial | Partly | A free trial on the Lite plan, taken from the 'Try for free' links which register with plan=lite&trial=true. The vendor states 'No credit card required' and 'Cancel anytime' beside it. No standing $0 plan exists, and the trial length is not stated in the page text; the pricing page meta description calls it a 7-day trial. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Core purpose of the module: it runs generated prompts against named AI engines and records whether the brand is mentioned, with a visibility score and per-engine trend over time. > Local Dominator AI Tracker helps you see how your brand appears across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, and other AI-driven search experiences, monitor changes over time > — https://localdominator.co/features/ai-tracker/ · Hero section, paragraph under 'The All-in-One AI Tracker for Agencies & Local Brands' **Optimises your content** · Yes — Two separate surfaces do this: the AI Tracker Opportunities tab suggests fixes for missed prompts, and the platform's Site Audit crawls pages you already have and returns prioritised technical fixes. > The Local Dominator Site Audit is a specialized website crawler that finds the hidden technical errors blocking your search traffic. It comprehensively scans your HTML code, internal links > — https://localdominator.co/features/site-audit/ · Hero paragraph, 'Prepare Your Website for AI Search With a Technical Site Audit' **Generates content** · Partly — Writing is not part of AI Tracker; it lives in the separate AI Assist module, which drafts Google Business Profile posts, review replies and Q&A answers rather than web pages or articles. > AI Assist includes an AI GBP Post Writer that generates localized, high-quality posts from a keyword with a single click. It can also help draft on-brand review responses, and Q&A answers > — https://localdominator.co/features/ai-assist/ · Frequently Asked Questions, 'Can AI write my GBP posts?' **Publishes to your site** · Partly — It can publish to Google Business Profile on a schedule, including in bulk across many profiles, but the vendor documents no push to a website CMS such as WordPress or Webflow. > Local Dominator includes a built-in Google Business Profile posting tool that lets you schedule and rotate content. This helps you keep your listing active without logging in every time. > — https://localdominator.co/faq/ · FAQ accordion, 'Can I manage Google posts through Local Dominator?' **Technical AEO** · Yes — The Site Audit module explicitly checks AI-bot access, text structure and AI schema, and scores AEO readiness alongside traditional SEO health; schema markup appears as its own fix layer. > We verify that bots like ChatGPT and Claude have access to your content.

Being mentioned across all six engines is better than appearing on just one. > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-visibility-score/ · Section 'How Your Score is Calculated', point 3 ## What it reports **Names the cited sources** · Yes — The prompt detail panel lists the exact URLs each engine used to answer, and flags when your own domain is not among them, so you see which domains win the citation. > Sources: Lists the specific website URLs the AI engines referenced to answer the prompt. It displays a red warning reading “Not cited in any sources” if your domain is missing from the results. > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-tracker-opportunities/ · Section 'Analyzing Prompt Details and Sources', Sources bullet **Competitor tracking** · Yes — A dedicated Brands tab shows competitor analysis, and the Opportunities table counts how many rival brands were mentioned on prompts where you were not. > Data Tabs: You can navigate between three distinct tabs to view your Scan Results (Prompts), Competitor Analysis (Brands), and AI-driven Opportunities (Opportunities). > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-tracker-setup/ · Section 'Understanding Your Campaign Dashboard', Data Tabs bullet **Brand sentiment** · Partly — Sentiment is scored per engine as a weighting inside the visibility score and shown in the prompt breakdown, but the vendor never claims to surface which attributes AI associates with the brand. > Sentiment: The context of the mention. Positive citations carry significantly more weight than neutral or negative ones. > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-visibility-score/ · Section 'How Your Score is Calculated', point 4 **Recommendations** · Yes — The Opportunities tab does more than report: it gives an AI-written explanation per missed prompt and names the competitor sources to chase, and the vendor frames it as execution. > Overview: Provides an AI-generated summary explaining your engine coverage. It suggests general actions like optimizing your site for local SEO and building authoritative backlinks. > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-tracker-opportunities/ · Section 'Analyzing Prompt Details and Sources', Overview bullet **AI crawler analytics** · No — No AI bot log analytics in the plan feature matrix; the bundled Site Audit checks bot access, which is not crawler traffic reporting. > TRACKING & VISIBILITY AI Tracker SERP Tracker Geo Grid Scans Map View BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & OPTIMIZATION GBP Management Listing Management Site Audit Review Velocity Keywords & Prompts Finder > — https://localdominator.co/pricing · Full plan comparison table, feature-row labels (Business & Agency plans) ## Plans and signing up **Prompt or credit allowance** · Partly — Plans meter shared credits rather than prompts: 5,000 a month on Lite up to 450,000 on Enterprise Ultra, with campaign cost set by prompts multiplied by engines and a 50-prompt ceiling per commit. > Each scan consumes credits based on a specific formula multiplying your total number of prompts by your selected number of AI engines. > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-tracker-setup/ · Section 'What you will need', second sentence **Projects or brands** · Yes — Several: each tracked brand is its own campaign created from a Campaigns list, and plans scale managed profiles from 1 on Lite to 200 on Enterprise Ultra. > Open the Wizard: Click the + New Campaign button on the main Campaigns page. > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-tracker-setup/ · Section 'How to Set Up Your Campaign', step 1 **Countries** · Partly — Location is a campaign field and the vendor publishes a country-by-country table, but coverage is uneven per engine and the table only covers ChatGPT, AI Mode, Perplexity and Gemini. > AI Tracker monitors your business visibility across major AI engines, but not every engine supports every country yet. Use this table to confirm AI Tracker coverage before setting up a campaign > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/supported-countries-ai-tracker/ · Opening paragraph above the country coverage table **How often it checks** · Yes — Cadence is chosen in the setup wizard from three options, so scheduled monitoring is weekly at best; there is no daily scan and no continuous mode. > Select your target AI Engines and choose your schedule: On-Demand, Weekly, or Monthly. > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/ai-tracker-setup/ · Section 'How to Set Up Your Campaign', step 2 **Card required to start** · No — The pricing page states no card is needed beside the trial call to action, and the trial link registers on the Lite plan without a payment step. > Try for free No credit card required Cancel anytime > — https://localdominator.co/pricing/ · Reassurance line directly beneath the page heading 'Plans that grow with your business' **Self-serve signup** · Yes — Every Business & Agency and Enterprise tier has a self-serve Get this plan link; only the unpriced Custom tier routes to sales, so a buyer can start unaided. > Try for free or Get this plan > — https://localdominator.co/pricing/ · Lite plan card, call-to-action row (Business & Agency tab) ## Access and integrations **API** · Partly — There is a documented AI Tracker Public API with campaign, results and rankings endpoints, but the plan cards put API access on Pro and above, so the two cheapest tiers cannot use it. > Partner-facing AI Tracker endpoints available through the Public API gateway. Endpoints are authenticated by ld_... API keys and include server-side credit charging where applicable. > — https://app.localdominator.co/api-doc/ · Section heading 'AI Tracker Public API', introductory paragraph **MCP server** · Partly — A first-party MCP connector exposes AI Tracker data to Claude Desktop, but it is read-only by design and needs an API key, which the plan cards gate to Pro and above. > This gives Claude direct, read-only access to your SERP Tracker, Site Audit, Geogrid, AI Tracker, and Review Velocity data, so you can ask for reports and analysis in plain English > — https://help.localdominator.co/articles/connect-local-dominator-claude/ · Opening paragraph, 'Connect Local Dominator to Claude Desktop' **BI export** · Partly — The vendor states the route to a dashboard is the public API rather than a connector, and names no Looker, Power BI or warehouse destination; CSV export endpoints exist for SERP, not AI Tracker. > Currently, Local Dominator supports public API access, allowing agencies to integrate scan results and ranking data into their custom dashboards or CRM platforms. > — https://localdominator.co/faq/ · FAQ accordion, 'Does Local Dominator integrate with reporting dashboards or CRMs?' ## Coverage elsewhere | Source | Kind | Read | | --- | --- | --- | | localseotactics.com | Independent source | 2026-07-19 | | gbppromote.com | Independent source | 2026-07-23 | | trustpilot.com | Review platform | 2026-07-23 | | capterra.com | Review platform | 2026-07-23 | ## CitedIndex in AI answers 1 of 4 answers cite CitedIndex. | Engine | Result | Question | Asked on | Other sources | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ChatGPT | Cites CitedIndex | Local Dominator AI Tracker alternatives | 2026-10-12 | logowik.com, mobilestalk.net, maprankerpros.com, banque-stellantis-france.com, auralocal.com, mopa1.com | | Claude | Does not cite CitedIndex | Local Dominator AI Tracker alternatives | 2026-09-04 | marketraa.com, gbppromote.com, g2.com | | Gemini | Does not cite CitedIndex | Local Dominator AI Tracker alternatives | 2026-09-04 | localfalcon.com, reddit.com, localo.com, getapp.com, semrush.com, localdominator.co | | Perplexity | Does not cite CitedIndex | Local Dominator AI Tracker alternatives | 2026-10-12 | marketraa.com, gbppromote.com, gridranktracker.com, searchatlas.com, socialpilot.co, sureshotsystems.com | ## What changed - 2026-09-26 — Capabilities · Free tier - 2026-09-02 — Capabilities · Free tier - 2026-09-01 — Capabilities · Free tier · Price - 2026-08-31 — Capabilities · Free tier · Price - 2026-08-22 — Alternatives · Summary ## Corrections If you represent Local Dominator AI Tracker, or anything here is wrong or out of date, send a correction with a source.
