  1. 01. CHECK TODAY'S SOURCES

    See which sources AI cites for one question.

    Ask one buyer question across the default AI services. See every distinct cited source, which services cited it, and whether a page you care about appears.

    You ask your AIWhich sources does AI cite for “best startup CRM,” and is acme.example included?

    Your AI saysAI cited 6 distinct sources. The most common source appears in 3 AI services. Your guide is cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity.
  2. 02. CREATE A TRACKER

    Save the same citation check on a schedule.

    Choose a weekly or monthly schedule. Cite42 MCP saves the question, optional page, and AI coverage as a Draft for your review.

    You ask your AIRun this citation check every Monday at 08:00 London time.
    Cite42 MCPTracker setup
    Your AI saysWeekly citation tracker saved as Draft. Every Monday at 08:00. Estimated cost: $0.13 per run. Nothing runs until activation.
  3. 03. REVIEW COST AND ACTIVATE

    Approve the per-run limit and start tracking.

    Activation authorizes the current estimate as the cost ceiling. Later runs use current AI-service prices up to that ceiling. Cite42 pauses before calling an AI model only when the estimate rises above it.

The example is $0.13 for one prompt across the 3 default AI services. A tracker with multiple prompts multiplies that estimate by the number of saved prompts. You confirm the complete run ceiling at activation, and Cite42 pauses the tracker for review if a later estimate exceeds it.

Questions about AI Citation Tracker.

Each run records the pages AI models cite for every saved buyer question, how many models cite each one, and whether the page you chose to watch was cited.
No. Each AI Citation Tracker watches one page, shared by every question in it. Create another tracker to watch a different page.
Weekly or monthly, at the day, time and timezone you choose. You can also run it manually at any time between scheduled runs.
$0.13 per saved question across the three default AI models, or $0.20 across all five, so 10 questions cost $1.30 per run. Creating and managing the tracker is free.
Yes. An authorized agent can read every stored run through Cite42's tracker MCP tools, so you can ask Claude or Codex how results changed since the last run. The same history is in the dashboard and the REST API.
