SEO agencies are losing clients because ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are citing competitors instead of them. CiteSpy fires live queries across all four engines every week and shows exactly which domains — and which URLs — are being cited for each query instead of yours. Weekly citation matrix, clickable source URLs, and a Monday morning email report. Starts at $59/month. Google AI Overviews coming next.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built CiteSpy after watching SEO clients ask the same question over and over: "Why isn't our site showing up in ChatGPT results?"
The honest answer was: I didn't know. And neither did any tool I could find. Semrush and Ahrefs have AI visibility scores, but they're database snapshots — they can't tell you the exact URL being cited instead of you.
So I built CiteSpy. It fires live queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity every week, maps exactly which domains and URLs are being cited for each query, and emails you a fresh report every Monday.
The free scan takes about 2 minutes. No credit card required.
A few things I'd love feedback on:
- Is the citation matrix easy to read at a glance?
- What other AI engines should I add first?
- Would you find per-query "why they win" explanations useful, or just noise?
Happy to answer any questions below. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

How are you handling the cases where one engine cites a page but another shows a completely different source for the same query? I imagine that kind of inconsistency makes the weekly matrix pretty noisy to actually act on.

@memetidp8 Great question — and you're right that different engines often cite completely different sources for the same query. That's actually one of the most valuable signals in the matrix.
When ChatGPT cites one page and Perplexity cites another for the same query, it tells you two things: first, there's no single dominant authority on that topic yet (which means there's an opportunity to become one), and second, you can see exactly which content formats each engine favours — ChatGPT might prefer a long-form guide while Perplexity pulls from a news source.
The matrix isn't meant to give you one clean answer — it's meant to show you the full picture across engines so you can prioritise. A query where you're missing on all four engines is a clear gap. A query where you're cited on two but not the others tells you your content exists but isn't structured the right way for those engines.
Happy to show you a real scan if you want to see how it looks in practice — free scan at citespy.app.

Spent a few minutes poking around CiteSpy and the weekly matrix is genuinely eye-opening. Seeing the exact source URLs that get pulled into Perplexity answers makes it obvious where to focus outreach instead of guessing.

Really useful seeing exactly which URLs the four models are pulling from each week, the source links make it easy to pitch fixes to clients. Wish the Monday email was a bit more customizable, but the citation matrix alone is worth the price.
