Every board we do publish is computed from AI responses only and is not for sale, ours included. How the Index is built →
An SEO suite with an AI layer, or an AI visibility platform.
Semrush is the SEO suite many teams already pay for, and its AI visibility features arrive with the $199 Starter plan: 50 prompts tracked daily for one domain, more on Pro+ and Advanced. CiteHawk is built for the AI answers themselves. All 8 platforms are on the $99 Starter plan, every answer is stored verbatim with its model version, and the evidence feeds prompt battles, source gaps and recommendations.
- All 8 platforms named and included on every plan
- Full response evidence and model version on every data point
- A site audit written for AI readability, not a repackaged SEO crawl
Daily prompts, or evidence you can open.
Semrush tracks prompts daily and reports mentions, sentiment and share of voice. CiteHawk runs a full weekly sweep of every prompt on every platform, with manual runs when you need them, and keeps the answer text so a mention is never just a number: you can read what the AI said, which sources it cited and how that changed since the last sweep.
- Every measured answer kept verbatim, with the sources it cited
- Prompt battles: won, contested and lost prompts with the receipts
- The public AI Index: frozen monthly rankings you can cite and claim
White-label reports, or a white-label product.
Semrush’s white-labeling lives in its Pro Report add-on at $20 a month: branded, scheduled reports. CiteHawk’s $999 Agency plan white-labels the product: your subdomain or custom domain, a lead-capturing funnel page, an embeddable audit widget, 30 white-labeled prospect audits a month and a read-only client portal your clients log into.
- White-label subdomain + custom domain: CiteHawk stays invisible
- 30 white-labeled prospect audits a month, funnel and widget feeding your pipeline
- Client portal with read-only access, scheduled reports included
