🧩 What is CitationMapper?

CitationMapper is the first prompt competition analyzer built for the AI era.
It shows companies, agencies, and marketing teams which entities large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude surface when users ask questions.

It answers the critical questions marketers now face:

• “Who shows up when I ask ChatGPT about my industry?”
• “Which competitors dominate Gemini answers for my category?”
• “How difficult is it to rank for a prompt like ‘best AI visibility tools’?”

🚀 Why We Built It

Traditional SEO tools measure backlinks, rankings, and domain authority. But none of those explain visibility inside AI assistants.

AI discovery works differently: answers are drawn from structured citations, trusted platforms, and entity relevance.

This creates new challenges:

• Volatility: AI answers can change monthly.
• Competition: Only a handful of entities fit into a single AI response.
• Visibility gap: Agencies and directors have no dashboard to show whether their brand is present or absent.

CitationMapper closes this gap by providing:

• Entity mapping across LLMs.
• Prompt visibility competition scoring (PVCS™).
• Opportunities to find lower-competition prompts and quick wins.
• Dashboards to track prompts, entities, and results over time.

⚙ How It Works

1. Prompt Testing – Run structured prompts like “best AI marketing tools” or “top citation platforms for visibility”.
2. Entity Extraction – Identify which companies, tools, or datasets appear.
3. Citation Mapping – Reveal which Tier-1 sources (e.g., Wikidata, Hugging Face, Zenodo, Medium) feed those answers.
4. Prompt Visibility Competition Score (PVCS™) – Quantify how difficult it is to rank for a prompt.
5. Prompt Variants – Generate short-tail, mid-tail, and long-tail versions to uncover quick wins.
6. Dashboard Storage – Save and track prompt results for trend analysis and reporting.

🌍 Why It Matters

AI assistants are rapidly replacing Google as the first stop for product research and recommendations.

• If you are absent from LLM answers, you don’t exist in the new discovery funnel.
• If irrelevant or outdated entities dominate, your brand reputation is at risk.

CitationMapper gives SEO agencies and Marketing Directors a clear, testable way to:

• See which competitors already appear.
• Measure prompt difficulty.
• Identify opportunities to grow visibility in AI discovery cycles.

📊 Current Focus

The current release of CitationMapper is focused on:

• Prompt analysis across short-, mid-, and long-tail queries.
• Entity extraction and mapping.
• Competition scoring (PVCS™).
• Dashboard tracking of prompts and results.

These features form the foundation for deeper visibility insights and future roadmap development.
