citAEOtion is citation infrastructure for the AI answer era - built by SEO operators who got tired of guessing.
Why it exists
Every other "AI visibility" tool asks you to pick the prompts you want to rank for, then reports a score on prompts you made up. citAEOtion does the opposite. It reads the real crawler traffic already hitting your site and shows you which AI bots are actually reading you, what they read, and how often.
The difference is simple: they track prompts you invented. We track the bots that showed up. Real visits, real pages, real data.
What the data looks like
One tracked site - a Brooklyn real estate site on our network - logged 13,735 AI crawler visits from 24 distinct crawlers in 60 days. Not just GPTBot and ClaudeBot: Amazonbot, PerplexityBot, Applebot, Meta, Google's Gemini crawler, DeepSeek, ByteDance, Cohere, Common Crawl. Classified by what they do: training, search indexing, or live assistant fetches.
That last category is the one that matters. ChatGPT pulled pages from that site 489 times in 60 days - live, mid-conversation, while a real person asked a question. That is a citation happening in real time, and citAEOtion is the only place you can watch it.
Who builds it
citAEOtion is built by Full Contact AEO and its founder Joe Harvey - a search operator since the dial-up era, Google Partner since the AdWords days, named a top-30 global eCommerce influencer alongside Neil Patel, and the builder of every layer of this stack: the collector, the crawler taxonomy, the dashboard, and the WordPress themes it ships inside. The product exists because we needed it ourselves - we run it on our own agency portfolio first, every feature, before it ships to yours.
Where it is going
citAEOtion is in active development, shaped by the agencies and operators using it. If there is a feature you need, tell us. Early adopters drive the roadmap - the Agency plans and Founders Club exist for exactly those people.

No. citAEOtion watches the bots that crawl your site, not the humans who visit it. It does not track your visitors, build advertising profiles, set marketing cookies, or sell data to anyone. It reads your server's record of crawler requests - the bot's name, the page it asked for, and the time - and nothing about your readers. The bots are what it measures; your visitors are left alone.

How much does citAEOtion cost?citAEOtion.AI2026-06-20T21:52:16-04:00Is citAEOtion an SEO tool or an AEO tool?
citAEOtion is an answer-engine tool, not a Google ranking tool. Where traditional SEO tools track where you place in blue-link search results, citAEOtion tracks which AI crawlers read your content and how often - because that is what feeds answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews. It tells you whether AI can read and cite your site, not where you rank in ten blue links.
Is citAEOtion an SEO tool or an AEO tool?citAEOtion.AI2026-06-20T21:52:20-04:00What does "the GA for AI" mean?
It means citAEOtion is to AI crawlers what Google Analytics is to human visitors: a live, factual record of who showed up, what they looked at, and when. Google Analytics shows you the people reading your site; citAEOtion shows you the AI bots reading it - GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and dozens more - sorted by what each one is doing. Full data on the machines that decide whether you become the answer.

It reads your site's real server traffic and shows you which AI bots crawl you, what they read, and when - GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bingbot, Meta's crawlers, and the rest. Instead of guessing whether AI can see your content, you get the actual record of who is reading it. Single-site tracking starts at $34.99 a month.
What is citAEOtion?citAEOtion.AI2026-06-20T21:52:08-04:00Who is behind citAEOtion?
citAEOtion is built by Full Contact AEO, a Florida-based AI-first SEO agency. The team has spent years ranking sites and watching how AI engines actually consume the web, and built citAEOtion because they needed it for their own client work. It is in active development, with early adopters shaping the roadmap.
Who is behind citAEOtion?citAEOtion.AI2026-06-20T21:52:11-04:00Why was citAEOtion built?
citAEOtion was built because every other AI visibility tool asks you to invent the prompts you want to rank for, then scores you on questions you made up. The operators behind it wanted the opposite: proof of which AI bots are actually reading a site. So they built a tool that reads real crawler traffic instead of guessing at prompts - real visits, real pages, real data.
