CitedSpy

CitedSpy is a generative engine optimization (GEO) platform that tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and Google AI Mode describe and recommend your brand, then provides specific action items to improve your AI visibility.

What is CitedSpy?

CitedSpy is a generative engine optimization (GEO) platform launched in 2026 by Arshita Sharma (CEO) and Chitransh Agnihotri (CMO), based in India. The tool addresses a specific gap in digital marketing: as buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot which product to use — and most never click through to a website — brands need a way to see how AI describes and recommends them. CitedSpy runs the same set of prompts across six AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and Grok), collecting answers from the live product interface rather than through an API, which matters because API responses don't always match what real buyers see. Every prompt runs seven times per week per engine, producing a mention rate rather than a single snapshot, with per-engine sentiment and competitor share of voice. The platform tracks up to 15 competitors per brand, shows citation sources (which websites AI pulls from when recommending your category), and generates specific action items with expected impact and time estimates — which Reddit threads to engage, which Wikipedia paragraphs to fix, which FAQs are missing. Higher tiers add white-label reporting with custom domains, API access, a Looker Studio connector, and an MCP server for querying GEO data directly inside Claude Code, Cursor, and Codeml. Pricing is public: Solo at $16/mo (annual), Growth at $125/mo, Pro at $399/mo, with a 14-day free trial. The Earlybird lifetime deal offers one-time pricing from $79 to $799 depending on the tier, plus an extra 10% off with code EARLYBIRD.

Who is it for?

• Agencies managing multiple client brands who need white-label AI visibility reporting
