- Week 3AI search visibility (GEO/AEO)
Start the citation log
Ten questions × three assistants, once a month, in a spreadsheet: cited, mentioned, absent. This log is the measurement; a tracker earns its slot only when the log outgrows the sheet.

Lite $25/mo annual, $29 monthly (15 prompts) · checked 2026-09
Only with the trigger: you publish weekly and the monthly manual log (three questions × three assistants) has outgrown a spreadsheet. The cheapest credible AI-visibility tracker, and the first upgrade from the manual log. Fifteen prompts is plenty for a small site.
