Multi-engine citation tracking

Seeing, per engine, whether AI cites you, where you rank, and who it cites instead.

AI search is not one box

There is no single AI search engine to check. People ask Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and Claude, and each one assembles its answer from sources in its own way. Being cited by one does not mean being cited by another.

So RankMoss asks each engine your real questions, with live web search, and records what comes back. For every question and every engine, it shows whether that engine recommended your site and, when it did, where you sat among the sources it drew on.

Per query and per engine: a tick means you were cited, a dot means you were not.

Who gets cited when you do not

Knowing you are not cited is only half the picture. The more useful half is knowing who is cited instead. For each question, RankMoss shows the third-party sites the engines quoted, so you can see exactly who you are up against in the answer.

That turns a vague sense of missing out into a concrete target. If the same few competitors keep appearing for a question that matters to you, that is the question to write or strengthen a page for next.

Checked continuously, and on demand

Citation checks run automatically on a schedule, so your picture stays current without you doing anything. When you want an immediate read, you can run a check on demand; it works in the background and fills in results as each engine responds.

You can also choose to be told the moment a question starts getting cited, so you learn about a win when it happens rather than the next time you happen to open the dashboard.
