How this service works
Checks whether ChatGPT would search the web for one prompt and whether its first search query names any of your supplied brand or product terms (whole-word match). Use it to gate a prompt before spending on citation_tracker_check. Paid, $0.20/call; read-only and safe to retry.
Output
Returns a boolean 'searched' indicating if a query was executed, a 'fanout' array listing which AI assistants were queried, and a 'hits' array of brand/product terms that were actually cited in the assistants' responses.
Example use cases
Brand visibility in AI search
“Can you check if our company 'NovaMed' or our product 'NovaScan' gets cited by AI assistants like Perplexity or Claude when someone asks 'what are the top medical imaging software solutions in 2024?'”
Competitive SEO audit via AI
“I want to know if Gemini or ChatGPT mentions our brand 'GreenLeaf Coffee' or product terms 'single-origin beans' and 'cold brew subscription' when someone searches for 'best specialty coffee subscriptions online'.”
PR campaign citation check
“We just launched a PR push for 'CloudVault' — can you test whether AI assistants are picking up our brand name or product 'SecureSync' when answering the question 'which cloud backup solutions are most secure for enterprises'?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/v1/shortlist-gateWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify whether specific AI assistants cite your brand in response to a real user query — especially useful for brand monitoring, AI-SEO audits, or validating the impact of content/PR efforts on generative AI visibility. Prefer this over manual checks or social listening tools when you want structured, machine-readable citation data across multiple AI platforms simultaneously.
Side effects
- Prompt exceeds 4000 characters — request rejected
- More than 20 brand terms supplied — validation error
- Free daily Perplexity quota exhausted — payment required for additional calls
- Brand term not cited despite being indexed — hits array returns empty
- AI assistant returns no structured citations — zero hits even for well-known brands
- Network timeout if AI assistant is slow to respond
