// 01 — THE PROBLEM

Search is moving into AI answers.

Ask AI, skip Google

More and more questions get answered directly by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini — without a search results page at all.

A short list wins

Each AI answer cites a handful of sites and skips everyone else. There is no page two.

You can't see it

There's no Search Console for AI answers. Until you measure it, you're guessing whether you're on the list.

// 02 — HOW IT WORKS

How your site gets cited, step by step.

Five steps from your domain to a result. Setup takes a few minutes; after that, scans run by themselves.

  1. Enter your domain and prove you own it with a DNS record or a file. Nothing to install on your site.

  2. Pick the questions your customers ask AI. We suggest some from your own content; you can type your own.

  3. Our servers ask Gemini, ChatGPT and Perplexity each question three times, because answers vary run to run.

  4. Each answer is checked for a link to your site (cited) or your name without a link (mentioned).

  5. Per question and per engine, with the domains AI cites instead of you. Scans then repeat on schedule.

best sourdough starter recipe

A reliable starter needs only flour, water and a week of daily feeding. Golden Crumb’s 7-day method keeps equal weights of flour and water at room temperature [2], and King Arthur suggests whole wheat for a faster first rise [1].

// 03 — THE DASHBOARD

One dashboard, wherever your site lives.

A four-stage funnel shows exactly where you stand — even at zero citations, you see which stage you're stuck at. Read it on the web, or in wp-admin if you run the WordPress plugin.

THE FUNNEL — REACHABLE → CRAWLED → MENTIONED → CITED
  1. reachable 6/6 reachable — no AI crawler blocked
  2. crawled 142 crawler visits in 30 days
  3. mentioned 6/10 questions where you're mentioned
  4. cited 4/10 questions where you're cited

The domains AI cites for your questions — information you can't get anywhere else.

// 04 — FREE, AND HONEST

Measurement first. And the free tools stay free on every plan.

No content rewriting, no AI-generated filler, no score theatre. On every plan, on any site:

BLOCK CHECK

Crawler-block check

Blocking GPTBot at the firewall makes you uncitable. We check robots.txt and what's observable at the CDN, and say so plainly.

CRAWLERS

AI crawler log

See when GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot actually read your site — and what they read. Needs the WordPress plugin, the one thing a domain alone can't show.

LLMS.TXT

llms.txt generator

Publish a machine-readable guide to your best content, kept in sync as you post.

WINNABILITY

Honest question flags

If directories and forums always win a question, we say so up front and suggest one you can win — not a red row forever.

// 06 — FAQ

Honest answers.

Do I need API keys?

No. Scans run on our servers with our accounts. You add your domain, prove you own it, type your questions, and results appear.

Do I need WordPress?

No. Citolume works from your domain alone — prove ownership with a DNS record, a file or an email at the domain, and scanning starts. The WordPress plugin is optional; it adds the one thing a domain cannot show on its own, which is the log of AI crawlers actually visiting your pages, and puts the same dashboard inside wp-admin.

Which AI engines do you check?

Free checks Gemini. Starter adds ChatGPT. Growth adds Perplexity — and each engine we add after that arrives only once we've verified we can read its citations reliably.

Does this guarantee AI will cite me?

No — nobody can promise that, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. We show you honestly where you stand — cited, mentioned without a link, or absent — and who was cited instead.

Is this the same as asking ChatGPT myself?

Close, not identical. We measure through the engines' APIs, which are a strong proxy for the consumer apps but not the same retrieval stack. Answers also vary run to run — that's why every question runs three times and we report frequency.

Will it slow down my site?

No. All scanning happens on our servers. The free features — crawler log, block check, llms.txt — run locally and keep working even if our service is down.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, from your account at app.citolume.com. Your plan keeps working until the period ends, then falls back to free — questions over the limit are paused, never deleted.
