How to use CiteHawk.

CiteHawk measures how AI platforms mention and cite your brand. Every week it asks the AI platforms the questions your buyers ask, keeps every answer that comes back, and turns the record into scores you can track and argue from. These pages explain how that works and how to use each part of the product.

Where you place against your competitor set on every metric, and how each AI platform ranks you individually.

The buyer questions CiteHawk asks the AI platforms on your behalf, and how prompt discovery suggests new ones.

Every tracked prompt on the latest run scored as won, contested, or lost, with the rival who took it.
