citAEOtion.AI
citAEOtion.AI is an analytics platform that monitors real server traffic to identify and classify AI crawlers accessing websites. It detects bots like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Meta-ExternalAgent, categorizing them by intent (AI training, AI search, AI assistant, data scraper). The dashboard provides live aggregated data across single or multiple sites, showing crawl frequency, pages accessed, and trends over time. Unlike prompt-based ranking tools, citAEOtion relies on actual bot visits, enabling site owners to understand how their content is being used by AI systems. It supports up to 100 sites per account, includes white-label reporting for agencies, and surfaces technical issues (e.g., robots.txt, sitemaps) that affect AI visibility.
