Citation Pulse
Longitudinal AI visibility tracking over time
What it does
Citation Pulse runs real API calls to 5 AI platforms to build snapshots of your brand's visibility. Each snapshot is stored in the database, allowing you to see trends over weeks and months. You get platform-specific scores, competitive comparison, sentiment tracking, and AI-generated insights based on historical data. The velocity indicator shows whether you're trending up, down, or stable — and the streak counter keeps you motivated.
The Problem
You lack longitudinal data on AI visibility.
- One-time scans give a snapshot — but no trend
- You don't know if visibility is improving or declining over time
- Competitors can take over positions without you noticing
- No tools combine historical tracking across AI platforms
The Solution
Citation Pulse builds a timeline of your AI visibility.
- Real API calls to 4 platforms per pulse — no simulated data
- Historical snapshots stored for trend analysis over time
- Velocity indicator shows direction and momentum
- AI-generated insights and recommendations based on history
Features
- Longitudinal Tracking: Build a timeline with repeated pulses over weeks and months.
- Platform Comparison: See scores per platform with trends and strongest/weakest queries.
