Frequently asked questions.

CiteLadder is AI visibility software that helps teams inspect brand mentions, cited sources and competitor presence in tracked AI answers. It connects that answer evidence with website findings so teams can investigate what to improve. Explore AI share of voice

Answer engine optimization is the work of making your organization, pages, and claims easier for AI answer engines to find, understand, and cite. Traditional SEO still helps people discover the page. AEO asks whether the engine uses that page when it writes the answer. The two share crawl access, clear structure, and consistent facts. They are measured differently.

SEO is about ranking and using a results page. AEO is about being named or cited inside a generated answer. A page can rank well and still never appear in ChatGPT. A page can be cited in an answer and send little classic organic traffic. CiteLadder puts site health, Search Console, GA4, content work, and AI visibility in one workflow so those views are not siloed.

A mention means a brand or product appears in the answer text. A citation identifies a source referenced by the answer. Neither observation, on its own, proves a referral visit or a purchase. Explore citation tracking

Available engines and collection options depend on the current product configuration and the providers you connect. Check availability when setting up your project, and keep the collection source in view when interpreting a result.

No. Results reflect the prompts, source and conditions used for the observation. Consumer experiences can differ because of factors such as account context, location, conversation history and collection method. Read the AI citation tracking guide

CiteLadder keeps AI visibility, source analysis, Site Health and connected workflows in one project. Open the evidence behind each observation to decide what to investigate next.

Connect evidence, analyze and prioritize gaps, declare an implemented action, observe later crawl or audit evidence, and track comparable outcomes. Verification reports what was observed afterwards. It does not claim causality.

Yes. AI Visibility is the Track station. It records how answer engines mention and cite your brand and competitors. Every metric traces back to stored responses from a versioned prompt portfolio.

Content Intelligence uses Agent workflows to prepare briefs, proposed page edits and internal-link plans. Review factual claims and source support before implementation. Nothing is published automatically, and Agent access is not included in the public trial. Content Intelligence

Connect supported Google Search Console, GA4 and Bing evidence. Demand Intelligence examines first-party queries and pages; AI Referral Analytics examines identifiable GA4 visits and reported outcomes. Connection, mapping and coverage requirements apply. Integrations

You make the product decisions that matter: save a piece of content, and run or schedule an audit. There is no approval queue or review inbox. CiteLadder shows the evidence work between those decisions with its source, status, and limitations.

Every derived number opens the artifact it came from: the crawl, the imported row, or the engine answer, stored as it was observed. A claim with no resolvable source does not render as a conclusion. Scores show their coverage beside them. They are not rescaled over whatever happened to be measurable, because missing evidence usually marks a weakness rather than a neutral gap.

It does not claim that a change caused a ranking, traffic, or revenue outcome. Verification recrawls and reports what it observes afterwards. CiteLadder does not present aggregate correlations as causal. Unavailable, not configured, and genuinely zero are three different states, not one empty chart.

Site Health safely crawls your website, records the acquired page as evidence, classifies its structural purpose, and applies deterministic checks suited to that page type. It persists scores, issues, architecture snapshots, changes, and prioritized opportunities so you can inspect every result.

Classification uses observable evidence such as the URL path, headings, visible content, forms, links, delivery signals, and structured data. The resulting page type selects the relevant checklist and schema contract. Structured data is one signal and never certifies its own page type.

CiteLadder classifies the page as other instead of forcing it into the wrong type. General checks can still run, while page-type-specific rules stay out of scoring until the evidence supports a reliable classification.

Every customer fact is scoped to its workspace and project and never crosses workspaces. CiteLadder versions product rules and analyzers independently, so stored results keep their source and you can read them against the rules that produced them.

Yes. Every recommendation carries a typed evidence chain back to the crawl, integration import, or answer that produced it. Later observations append to the record. They do not rewrite earlier evidence.

No. Saving content and running or scheduling an audit are your decisions, and the API enforces both, not only the interface. Crawling, classification, gap detection, and prioritization run without asking, and each result appears with the evidence behind it.

Model calls run on your own provider keys, billed to your provider accounts at their rates and never marked up. Provider secrets are encrypted at rest and resolved only at execution time. They are never returned, logged, or placed in a prompt.
