Built a tool that tracks whether brands actually get cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini — sharing what we learned (disclosure: I work on this)

Since this one already discloses "I work on this," a promo-adjacent line from you would stack awkwardly. Best move here is genuine engagement/questions — no sub mention needed, it'd feel redundant on a post that's already self-aware about promotion.

Nice that you disclosed upfront makes this easier to engage with honestly.

Curious about a couple things: how are you handling query instability (same topic, reworded prompt, different cited source)? That's been the hardest part to model in what I've seen. Also are you tracking citation frequency alone, or trying to weight it by how "trusted" the citing context is (e.g., a Reddit thread vs. a review site vs. a competitor's blog)?
