Citation tracking is the AEO core competency. Tools differ in their depth, some measure only whether your domain is cited, others trace the exact passage the model used as the source. Profound, Temso AI, and Peec AI all surface citation data; the differences show up in whether you can inspect the underlying prompt and answer and in the engine coverage.
