Find what shapes the answer

AI models cite their sources. Citations turns those into a ranked list of the pages and domains deciding what AI says about your brand.

Source of the answer

AI answers are built from cited pages. Citations shows you exactly which ones, ranked by how often they are used.

Share of voice

Every source comes with its share of all citations, so you can see who dominates the narrative about your category.

Pages or domains

Group by individual page to find the exact content winning citations, or by domain to see the sites that matter.

Find the gaps

Spot the sources cited about your competitors that never mention you, and know where to earn your next citation.

SDKs and tools

One API. Every way to build.

Start with Node.js over REST, or hand the query to an agent. The same visibility contract sits underneath.

01

REST API

API docs

One predictable contract for visibility checks, normalized results, and organization-scoped access.

02

SDK

Coming soon

Official TypeScript and Python clients are on the way.

03

AI agents

AI docs

Let Claude, Codex, Cursor, or your own agent query Trackee through MCP and agent-ready tools.

Dashboard

Open app

Use the same underlying data in a visual workspace for teams that prefer to inspect and compare results.
