Quick answer

How do I know if ChatGPT or Claude cites my website?

Use an AI mention monitoring tool (Profound, Otterly.ai, Peec AI, AthenaHQ) or manually run a weekly test set of 30 to 50 adviser-relevant prompts across ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. Log every citation in a database so you can see trends over time.
