Announcing CiteBoost Platinum
Now tracking 40,000 prompts you will never appear in
Your competitor just earned a Google AI Overview citation for your best commercial query. You could fix the page that lost it, or you could watch the loss arrive in Slack. Welcome to CiteBoost Platinum.
For too long, growth directors have followed a tedious manual routine: open a search tab, type in a category query, and feel quietly sick when the answer cites three competitors, a comparison table, and a forum thread from 2021. The whole process can consume four valuable minutes every Thursday morning. I knew there had to be a more scalable way to experience that feeling.
CiteBoost Platinum is an Answer Engine Optimization suite engineered to document your digital absence across 40,000 prompts. Practitioners have spent months testing specialized AEO and GEO trackers only to find themselves comparing the share of queries where a rival appears with the share where their own domain does. We take that dynamic and give it twenty-eight browser tabs. Why merely suspect that buyers are seeing someone else when you can pay to watch it happen in real time?
Our product philosophy is simple: measurement is the product; action is an unnecessary liability. Other search workflows burden marketing teams with page rebuilds, rendering audits, and copy production. We do not touch your tag manager, edit your product schema, or ask a developer to fix unrendered code. We monitor your brand not appearing, refresh the canvas, and notify your executive team before the coffee cools. The work stays exactly where it was: on a page somebody else will have to change. Our contribution is making that page’s failure considerably easier to admire.
Features Built for Pure Observability
Absence Alerts: Know the moment someone else gets cited
When a buyer enters your highest-converting category query into Perplexity or Google AI Mode, timing matters. Without us, you might remain unaware that a competitor got the citation until somebody checks. With Absence Alerts™, a banner lands in your company’s primary Slack channel when our next check finds a competitor cited instead of you. It includes their domain in bold, an excerpt of the answer, and a crisp, unclickable tag confirming your status as NOT_FOUND.
You get the adrenaline of a lost opportunity without the cognitive fatigue of addressing it. As practitioners discussing GEO and AEO tools have noted, tracking can identify a visibility gap without resolving what caused it. We embrace that distinction. The alert is the deliverable. If someone asks which page needs work, the excerpt offers a useful starting point. Finding an owner for the page would turn a notification into a task, which is a different product entirely.
The Gap Report: 300 missing topics, one immaculate PDF
Every Monday, our automated engine compiles The Gap Report: a 48-page PDF outlining 300 topics, comparison tables, and query variations for which your domain did not receive a citation. It arrives in executive navy blue, with color-coded severity badges and an appendix devoted to questions where forums and video sites appeared instead.
Those sources are worth noticing. One analysis of AI search citations puts Reddit at 21% and YouTube at 18.8% of Google AI Overview citations, and Reddit at 46.5% on Perplexity. CiteBoost Platinum captures the losses, turns them into non-editable vector charts, and emails them to your CMO. The report can then rest undisturbed beside the quarterly brand equity studies.
The appendix is particularly reassuring. It shows what an answer used without insisting that anyone ask why that source helped the buyer more than your page did. A list of missing topics can look remarkably like a content plan from a distance. From up close, it is still a list.
Visibility Score 2.0: Progress without a new citation
A flat line makes for an awkward marketing standup. That is why CiteBoost Platinum includes our Synthetic Visibility Index, or SVI. When your citation count stays at zero because an important page cannot be read, our scoring layer offers another perspective. It blends brand mentions with hypothetical retrieval probability, producing a chart that need not follow the stubborn direction of the citation count.
Share of Model metrics lack a standard definition. One chart may count mentions; another may count citations. Our sample dashboard demonstrates the flexibility: the score rises 14 points after we remove queries containing the letter ‘E’ from the denominator. No page changes. No new citations. A much nicer line. Anyone looking only at the line sees progress; anyone looking at the underlying queries sees a smaller set. We recommend presenting the line first.
Transparent Pricing Built Around Prompt Depletion
Choose how much absence you want to see
Some GEO monitoring plans ration prompt checks by tier. CiteBoost Platinum follows that familiar model, with room for the growing team that needs its missing citations presented at enterprise scale. Choose the appropriate level of observability:
- Starter — $499/month: Track 50 prompt checks per day on Google AI Overviews. If buyers search a 51st category variation, that variation remains a mystery. CSV export is available on alternate Wednesdays.
- Growth — $1,499/month: Track 250 prompt checks per day across Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot. Includes Slack Absence Alerts, weekly PDF gap reports, and Share of Model charts designed to look encouraging at a glance.
- Enterprise — ‘Schedule a Bespoke Strategic Alignment Call’: Custom annual contracts starting at $4,500 monthly. Adds tracking across Perplexity and Claude, white-label PDF watermarks, and a Customer Success Associate to review forty slides about why your product pages did not appear.
Every automated check uses one unit of your daily prompt allowance, whether the query is best enterprise inventory software or industrial chiller suppliers. Test enough variations before lunch and the day’s monitoring stops. Our notification will explain that you can wait for your allowance to renew or authorize a $750 overage block. The fee buys more checks, not a fix.
Few things protect a marketing budget quite like paying extra to confirm that an answer engine still cites your primary rival. The allowance also encourages a healthy discussion about which questions deserve a check. We suggest settling that question only after selecting a plan.
Sample Copy for Your Stakeholder Update
‘We have never been more informed about being ignored’
Need language for the quarterly deck? Our approved sample testimonials capture the CiteBoost Platinum experience without requiring anyone to change a page:
‘Before CiteBoost Platinum, our team had to look up queries to discover we were absent. Now twenty-two alerts can tell the executive channel in a single afternoon. We still have no answer-engine pipeline to attribute to those alerts, but the record of our absence is much easier to find.’
— Sample stakeholder testimonial
‘The board asked what we had deployed for Answer Engine Optimization. We presented the 48-page Gap Report. Nobody had to read it: the charts matched our brand guidelines, and the visibility index rose after we adjusted the baseline query set. The renewal slide practically wrote itself.’
— Sample renewal testimonial
The quotes are templates. The reporting workload they celebrate is entirely plausible.
