Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShoppers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity what to buy — but most merchants can't see whether AI recommends them. Cited runs the buyer questions your customers actually ask ("best [product] for...", "alternatives to [competitor]") through the real AI assistants and scores whether you're cited, and who beats you.

Visibly AI tracks real shopping prompts on a schedule and shows where you stand: your AI Visibility Score (0–100), how often you're mentioned, which products get recommended, and who outranks you.
