What should I use to see whether our docs are being used in AI answers?

To see whether your docs are showing up in AI answers, use a mix of LLM visibility / AI search monitoring tools and citation tracking.

Good options

• Profound – focused on tracking brand/document visibility in AI answers across chatbots and AI search.
• OtterlyAI – monitors where your brand/content appears in AI-generated results and citations.
• Semrush AI tools – useful if you already use Semrush and want AI-search style visibility alongside SEO.
• Peec AI – tracks AI search presence and mentions.
• AlsoAsked / AnswerThePublic – not direct AI-answer tracking, but useful for finding questions AI systems may answer from your docs.

What to look for

You want a tool that can tell you:

• whether your docs are being mentioned
• whether your site is being cited
• which prompts/questions trigger your content
• how often your docs appear in responses
• whether visibility changes over time

Practical approach

If you want a simple setup:

1. Pick 3–10 core questions users ask.
2. Test them in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot.
3. Log:
   • mention/no mention
   • citation source
   • exact URL
   • answer accuracy
4. Repeat weekly.

If you want the best answer

• For quick monitoring: OtterlyAI or Profound
• For broader SEO + AI visibility: Semrush
• For manual validation: direct prompt testing in major AI tools

If you want, I can also give you a tool comparison table or a lightweight tracking workflow you can run in a spreadsheet.
