CitedSpy

Bruno RF Carvalho not right now, it is in our roadmap planned already and will be done soon, as per priority. https://www.citedspy.com/roadmap

Yuriy – CitedSpy isn’t restricted by country. You set the market and locale per project, and we run your prompts against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode, Claude and Grok from that locale, so local AI visibility for Germany, Brazil or Japan works the same way it does for the US.

Languages: you can write and track prompts in currently in English language, and the responses, citations, sentiment and source domains get parsed in English. The one big caveat the dashboard interface itself is English-only today.

Hello,

I’m a serial entrepreneur with previous experience building and scaling my earlier startup, EquipShare. We grew the business to a strong level of revenue before exiting. After that, I joined a corporate organization as the India Head, a nationwide leadership role.

I had been considering starting another company for a long time, and that led to the launch of CitedSpy with Arshita. The company is currently bootstrapped and we want to grow it to true potential.

Regarding the comparison with Blazely AI, we do not have a separate SEO and GEO portal. Our platform is primarily focused on GEO, but we also recognize that SEO plays an important role in website performance. That’s why we have a technical SEO assessment feature that helps identify SEO-related issues on a website. We don’t currently offer traditional SEO features such as keyword research, but we focus on technical SEO because it is also important for AEO and GEO performance.

For anyone evaluating the business, I would also recommend looking at our changelog. Over the past four months, we have consistently shipped updates every week. You can see our progress through the weekly changelog, along with our roadmap and upcoming plans. https://www.citedspy.com/changelog

We are focused on building this for the long term, and we have already reached good number in MRR.

That’s a brief overview of my background and the business. If you’d like, I’d be happy to connect over Zoom or Google Meet to give you a product demo and discuss things one-on-one.
Please let me know if you’re available.

Hi Ryan,

Absolutely yes, you can replace the MVP website with the new platform while keeping the same domain, and continue using CitedSpy.

When the new website is live, you can re-run/fresh scan your brand and see how your visibility and presence across AI search has changed. The fact that some page URLs change shouldn’t be an issue, especially since you’re already planning to keep URLs where possible and use 301 redirects where needed.

And completely understand the cash-flow situation especially at the startup stage. There’s no pressure at all. We’re really glad you’re looking forward to testing CitedSpy, and whenever the timing works for you, we’ll be happy to have you onboard.

Best,
Arshita

Good question there’s definitely overlap. Both CitedSpy and ZeroRank track how brands appear across AI search, including mentions, rankings, competitors, citations and sentiment.

The main difference is what we optimise for.
ZeroRank is more of an AI search optimisation platform tracking visibility and then taking you into content creation, optimisation and automated workflows.

CitedSpy is built more around AI brand intelligence + measurement + identifying the highest-impact opportunities. We track the actual answers across multiple engines, the competitors being recommended, the sources being cited, and importantly where you’re missing and what you should do about it.

One thing we’re particularly opinionated about is measurement quality. We don’t treat one AI response as the truth. We look at repeated observations across prompts, engines, locations and time, because AI answers are inherently variable.

So I’d put it this way:

ZeroRank → “How do I optimise for AI search?”
CitedSpy → “What is AI saying about my brand, why is it saying that, and where are the opportunities I should act on?”

If you’re evaluating both, I’d actually recommend trying them side-by-side on the same 20–30 prompts. That’s where the differences become much clearer.

Hi, thanks for buying and for the kind words. Glad the Claude and ChatGPT MCP setup went smoothly.
Short answer: right now article generation and optimization are only in the dashboard (Actions > Content). They aren’t in the MCP or the public API yet. The MCP currently covers brands, prompts, runs, dashboards, citations, mentions and competitors.

This is a good request, and it fits where we’re taking the product. Adding content tools to the MCP and API is on our list. They would use the same monthly allowance you already have on Tier 3 (18 articles and 18 optimizations).

On publishing: we’re rebuilding it so it works with any CMS, not just WordPress. Until that’s done, the best workflow is:

1. Generate or optimize the article in Content Studio. It uses your real tracking data: what the AI engines are saying, which competitors they name, and which pages they cite.
2. Export it as Markdown or HTML.
3. Paste it into your CMS, or pass it through a tool like Zapier, Make or n8n to post it.

You can already ask Claude or ChatGPT to pull your prompt reports and citations through the MCP and draft content from them. The Content Studio version is better grounded and gets scored for GEO, though, so we’d suggest it for anything you plan to publish.

We’ll let you know when the content tools reach the MCP.

Hi, thanks for the questions.

1. Which tiers include BYOK? BYOK is part of the white-label agency feature set, so it’s included on Tier 3, Tier 4 and Tier 5. You’re already on Tier 4, so you have it now and don’t need to upgrade for it. Set it up under Agency > API keys, with white label turned on. You then choose which of your workspaces use your keys. Adding a key changes nothing until you assign it to a workspace.

2. Does it cover articles and optimization? Yes. There are three provider slots:
– Bright Data pays for collecting answers (tracking).
– Gemini pays for the analysis on each answer, such as sentiment, mentions and comparisons. It also covers prompt research, and can optionally power Content Studio.
– Claude (Anthropic) can power Content Studio.

When a workspace uses your own Gemini or Claude key for content, articles and optimizations have no monthly credit cap. You pay the provider directly.

For unlimited tracked answers, you need both Bright Data and Gemini keys. Bright Data alone pays for the scrape, but the analysis on each answer still runs on our Gemini, so your normal answer credits still apply.

“Unlimited” means no CitedSpy credit ceiling. Your plan’s other limits (workspaces, brands, seats, refresh cadence) and your provider’s own quotas still apply.

3. Are BYOK answers API-based? No, and that’s a good thing to check. Your Bright Data key is used for the exact same thing our key is used for: loading the real ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Mode interfaces and reading back what a buyer would see. Same scrapers, same country targeting, same parsing. BYOK only changes who pays Bright Data, not how answers are collected.

Your Gemini key is never used to produce the answers. It’s only used to analyze answers that were already collected from the live interface, and for content writing. So answers look the same whether or not you use BYOK.

One more thing: if a key you’ve assigned fails (expired, out of balance), that work pauses and shows a connection error. We never quietly switch you back to our keys, so you always know whose account is paying.
