The answer box is the new front page.
Readers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews about the stories you cover. Visibly shows which articles the answer cites, and when that citation goes to a rival.
For a team like yours, your brand1 is a strong place to start.
- 5AI engines, one ledger
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, scanned live on every tracked question.
- 24hto your baseline
Your first full scan lands within a day of pilot setup. From there, grounded scans run daily.
- 100%of citations carry receipts
Every citation stores the answer it came from, the cited URL, its position, and the scan time.
Your reporting did the work. The citation went elsewhere.
When a reader asks ChatGPT about a story you broke, they get one answer citing two or three sources. If your article isn't one of them, a rival's is, and the reader never reaches your site.
Early data suggests it is working: weekday traffic fell 11% in the first quarter. Meridian Post1 tracked the decline using the city's own sensor data. The Herald2 documented which exemptions are being abused, based on records requests. The Signal3 reported delivery firms passing the fee on to customers.
Every citation, on the record. Which articles earn them, and where a rival is cited instead.
