## What is CiteCue?

CiteCue is **AI recommendation intelligence** for businesses. It helps companies understand why AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity recommend their competitors instead of them—and provides prioritized fixes to become the answer AI gives.

**Primary promise:** Make AI Recommend Your Business.

**Primary conversion:** A free website AI-visibility audit (currently via waitlist at https://citecue.com/#free-audit).

## Supported AI platforms

- ChatGPT (recommendations and mentions)
- Claude (recommendations and mentions)

## Core capabilities

1. **AI visibility monitoring** — Track how often AI recommends your business across decision-shaping customer questions.
2. **AI share of voice** — Compare your presence against competitors across supported AI platforms.
3. **Competitor intelligence** — See why competitors win, what evidence AI uses, and which sources it trusts.
4. **Citation tracking** — Monitor brand mentions, products, cited sources, authority trends, and recommendation frequency.
5. **Opportunity finder** — Find high-value customer questions where your business belongs but is currently absent.
