AI Citation Tracking

Track AI citations.
Then act on them.

See exactly which sources ChatGPT, Google, Copilot and Perplexity cited, where your competitors appeared in those answers, and what you can do about it, all from one platform.

Why It Matters

AI engines don't return links.
They return one answer.

Your SEO tool tells you how you rank on Google. It tells you nothing about whether you show up when someone asks ChatGPT for a product recommendation.

The shift

Synthesised answers, not ranked lists

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview draw on sources they've decided to trust. A synthesised answer has no position 2 or 3. You're either mentioned in it or you're not.

The risk

Competitors may already be there

Citation data shows exactly which brands appear in AI answers for your category — and which don't. Most brands have no idea where they stand. Their competitors do.

The blind spot

Traditional SEO is blind to this

Rank trackers and analytics tools measure Google search performance. None of them tell you whether you appear when someone asks an AI engine for a recommendation in your category.

How It Works

Track. Act. Measure.

Track which sources AI engines cite, act on the gaps directly from the platform, and measure how your footprint changes over time.

Step 01

Define the questions your customers are asking AI engines.

Define the questions your target customers are asking AI engines. Set up prompts for any market, run them across multiple engines, and BPG starts building your citation footprint from day one.

Step 02

See exactly what sources AI is citing.

Run prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview, and get a full record of every source cited in their answers. The URL, domain, category, which engine returned it, and whether your brand appeared.

Step 03

See where competitors appear and where you don't.

See exactly where competitors appear in AI answers for your category, which sources are driving their citations, how your footprint compares across engines, and where the gaps are largest.

Step 04

Act on every citation from a single dashboard.

Reddit thread cited? Submit human-reviewed content into it. Article cited? Find the journalist behind it. YouTube video cited? Find the creator.

Step 05

Measure how your footprint changes over time.

Track how your citation footprint changes as your actions take effect. Connect a specific gap to a specific action taken and see whether it moved the needle. Weekly or daily updates depending on your plan.

What You Can Do

Every citation is a starting point,
not just a data point.

The type of action depends on the source. All of it happens inside the platform — no separate tools, no agency relationships required.

Reddit threads

Submit content into cited threads

Your team writes the content. We post it using established accounts with real karma and history, and every submission is reviewed before it goes live. AI engines have already decided that thread is a credible source. Getting your brand mentioned in it has a direct, measurable effect on your future citation results.

News & editorial

Find the journalist behind every cited article

Pull from a database of 280 million verified contacts to find the author's name, verified email, LinkedIn profile, and social accounts. Every contact is saved with outreach status tracking, so your citation data becomes a live editorial pipeline, built around the exact journalists and bloggers AI engines are already treating as authoritative in your category.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

What is a prompt, and how do I set one up?

A prompt is the question your target customer would ask an AI engine — for example, "what are the best cargo liners for a 4Runner?" or "which protein powder is best for building muscle?" BPG runs those prompts across major AI platforms on your behalf and logs which sources the engines cite in their answers. Setting one up takes under a minute inside the platform.

Which AI engines does BPG track?

BPG currently tracks citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview — the three platforms that account for the majority of AI-driven product discovery. Additional engines are on the roadmap.

How does the Reddit submission feature work?

Your team writes the content — a genuine, value-adding comment that mentions your product naturally. BPG reviews it for quality and accuracy, then posts it through one of our established Reddit accounts with real karma and post history. Nothing goes live without BPG's review. This is not automated bulk posting — every submission is manually reviewed before it goes live.

What's included in the free Lurker plan?

The Lurker plan lets you monitor one AI prompt, see citation data as it comes in, and submit content into cited Reddit threads using credits. There's no subscription fee — you only pay when you post ($10 per comment, $20 per post). It's a real working account, not a trial with artificial limits on core functionality.

What are credits and do they expire?

Credits are spent on Reddit submissions and contact reveals beyond your monthly subscription allowance. They never expire — buy them when you need volume, hold them when you don't. This structure works for brands that track heavily and post rarely, as well as those that do the reverse.
