Answer tracking
We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your buyers ask, every week.
You see who each assistant cites and names, and how that changes from one check to the next.
FirstCite is answer engine optimization, done for you. We track what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity tell your buyers, publish the pages that earn your citations, and show every gain in a live dashboard.
