    The tool category you're looking for is called AI Citation Tracking or GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) software.

    These tools show you exactly which websites and individual URLs ChatGPT cites when answering questions about your industry, including competitors' sources and third-party publications.

    My recommendation

    I'd shortlist three:

    1. Otterly.ai – Good starting point for tracking exact URLs on a smaller budget.
    2. Profound – Worth considering if you want deeper enterprise-level competitive intelligence.
    3. Ahrefs Brand Radar – Particularly interesting if you already use Ahrefs for SEO.

    What you should be looking for

    Ideally, the tool should let you:

    • See every website ChatGPT cites in your industry.
    • See the exact article or webpage, not just the domain.
    • Identify which competitors are being cited.
    • Discover which industry publications, blogs and forums ChatGPT trusts.
    • Track which sources appear repeatedly.
    • Identify opportunities to get your own business or website cited.

    One important distinction: tracking brand mentions is not the same as tracking citations. You want actual source URLs.

    One question

    What industry is your business in?

    I can narrow this down to the best tool for discovering the exact websites and pages ChatGPT is using to answer questions in your industry, including where your competitors are getting their AI visibility.
