AIs are highly inconsistent when recommending brands or products (opens in a new tab) SparkToro. January 2026. Sample: 2,961 runs of 12 prompts by 600 volunteers.
Every AI answer either cites your pages, names your brand, or leaves you out. ziptie.ai captures the answer each engine actually returned for your prompt, measures all three on every engine you track, and rolls them into one score your leadership can follow.
Your pages used as sources in AI answers. Citations drive direct, high-intent traffic.
Your brand named inside the answer itself. Mentions drive branded searches and awareness.
How the answer portrays you: positive, neutral, or negative. Sentiment decides whether a mention helps or hurts.
The three, in one number.
Citations, mentions, and sentiment in one 0-100 trend line. One glance tells you whether you are winning AI search.
Order inside an answer changes from run to run, so ziptie.ai reports how often you are named and cited across many checks, never a position in ChatGPT.
One loop in three steps: discover what the engines say, prepare the change, verify what followed.
What do the engines say, and why?
The Project Wizard interviews you, researches your business, and proposes prompts written the way your buyers ask. Every prompt runs in the country you pick, on the engines you track, on the schedule you set. ziptie.ai keeps the full answer and the sources behind it, including the Reddit threads and YouTube videos the engines lean on. Your history starts with your first check: no engine publishes what it said before, so nothing can be backfilled.
What should we change?
The Action Center turns those answers into one ranked queue per project, ordered by severity: a prompt no engine answers with you in it, an engine that stopped naming you, a competitor that just passed you. Each item links to the screen where you do the work. With the Content Generation add-on, a gap becomes a brief and then a draft, grounded in material you supply.
Did the answer move?
Record the URL where a piece went live and see which engines cite it. Mark the date on your AI Success Score trend, with Search Console clicks and impressions alongside. You publish the change where you always do; ziptie.ai never touches your site.
Then the loop starts again: new prompts to track, fresh gaps in the queue, the next brief.
Built by SEO experts who saw AI search coming. Priced so the whole team, and every brand it manages, fits on one plan.
One prompt, checked once on one engine, works out at $0.01. You pay for the prompts and engines you choose, not for a package you have to outgrow.
Turn on any of them yourself, Google AI Mode and Bing AI Overview included. Price follows how many engines you run, never which ones.
Run the brand you are fixing on a daily project and the long tail on a monthly one, from one subscription.
Bring your whole team and every brand you manage. Pricing never counts seats, projects or competitors.
The three-step loop runs on top of the core modules and three optional add-ons, each built to answer one question well.
Public API & MCP is a flat $10 a month, Content Generation is $20 a month per content context, and UGC Impact Analysis multiplies your whole prompts-and-engines subtotal by 1.8x.
Your AI presence at a glance. AI Success Score, citation rate, mention rate, and sentiment shape, each with its change across the date range you pick, plus best and worst prompts and your top competitors - one screen, the whole story.
Every brand AI recommends in your space, ranked by mention share. See which prompts pull a competitor instead of you, and where the gap is closeable.
Your full library of tracked queries. Each one shows its AI Success Score, per-engine citation, mention, and sentiment indicators, and the full AI-generated answer for every engine. Link your pages to prompts to see which content wins citations.
Compare slices of one project on the same charts. Branded against unbranded prompts, and the same pair for a competitor, is one view. Read it as a trend over time, or as a snapshot that tells you, for each gap against your baseline, whether it is likely a real difference, could be noise, or rests on too few answers. That read says nothing about what caused a gap. Click any number to open the answers behind it.
Performance trends across all 7 engines, side by side. Spot a Perplexity drop early. Catch a ChatGPT win and double down. Toggle between citation, mention, sentiment, and AI Success Score views.
Guided chat onboarding that reads your site, runs web research, and proposes prompts written the way your customers ask AI engines - including category, comparison, and persona queries. Skip the spreadsheet exercise.
Google Search Console, fully integrated: clicks, impressions, top queries, and top pages next to your AI answers, so classic search and AI answers sit in one view for one decision.
CSV, Excel, and PDF exports, white-label client reports with your logo and your client's, and public share links for stakeholders who live outside the dashboard, so the people who never log in still see the win.
The third-party sources shaping AI answers, ranked by citation share with per-platform trends, a deep read of every cited Reddit thread and YouTube video, auto-clustered topics, and a topic graph. ziptie.ai even suggests new prompts to track based on the conversations that keep coming up.
Briefs and full content pieces engineered for AI search. Learn your writing style from your existing pages, draft pieces with a built-in fact-check and revision loop, and ship with inline citations and a bibliography. Publish it where you always do, then read what the next scheduled check shows.
REST and Model Context Protocol access at api.ziptie.ai. Pull every prompt, response, mention, citation, and metric programmatically, or hand the same surface to Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and other MCP-aware agents with one token. The full reference, with the OpenAPI spec and live requests, is at docs.ziptie.ai.
That platform is already the daily tool for the people writing the AI-search playbook. Real data, real workflows, real results.
ZipTie has become my go to tool to monitor my sites, clients and competitors inclusion in AI Overviews, effectively assess the impact over traffic and identify the best way to optimize for them. I can highly recommend it!
ZipTie has been essential for tracking AI Overviews in their early roll out. Our team loves being able to monitor the AI Overview landscape for our clients and as a competitive research tool.
ZipTie covers two critical datapoints you can hardly find anywhere else: site indexing and AI Overviews. Without being indexed, you cannot rank. Without monitoring AI Overviews, you cannot tap into opportunities. That makes ZipTie a critical tool for SEO teams for me.
Featured in
For agencies with a client roster and in-house teams with a portfolio of brands.
ziptie.ai tracks how AI search engines talk about your brand and finds the gaps worth closing. We monitor ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Bing AI Overview, and Google Gemini - capturing mentions, sentiment, citations, full responses, and competitor recommendations - then turn that data into ranked next steps.
What you get:
Minutes for a single project via the Project Wizard. An hour for a careful multi-brand or multi-region rollout. The wizard reads your site, proposes prompts, configures your country and language, and you're collecting data the same day. Nothing on your site has to be wired up first.
Each tracked prompt gets a single 0-100 score that summarizes how well you're performing on that prompt across AI engines. The score is built from three signals captured for every prompt:
Sort by score and you have your optimization queue - work on what's underperforming first.
A single AI answer is a sample, not a fact - the same prompt can vary cycle to cycle. ziptie.ai captures and archives every measurement, so trends are built across many measurements over time rather than depending on a single snapshot. A real change in visibility separates itself from random variance over a few cycles; one-off outliers stay visible as the underlying data point but don't move the longer trend. You can drill into any score and see the actual responses that produced it.
No. Your prompts, the AI responses captured on your behalf, and your account data are used to operate the ziptie.ai monitoring service for you - not to train any model, and not shared with third parties for training purposes. The AI engines we monitor are public consumer products; the data we generate from them on your behalf belongs to you.
Yes. A 7-day free trial covering ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot, with no card required at signup. The other engines (Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Bing AI Overview, and Google Gemini) unlock on a paid plan. You can downgrade or cancel from workspace settings any time. We don't refund paid subscriptions, so we recommend using the trial to validate ziptie.ai fits your workflow before upgrading.
What's in it: 25 monitored prompts on a daily refresh.
What isn't: the API and MCP surface and the add-ons (UGC Impact Analysis, Content Generation) start on a paid plan, and the trial is once per person.
Nothing is tiered: you build your own plan from prompt count, refresh frequency, and engine coverage, with optional add-ons on top. Teammates and projects are unlimited, with no per-user charge. The pricing page shows current numbers. Longer billing periods carry a discount vs. monthly: 3 months -5%, 6 months -10%, annual -20%. For unusual configurations or large prompt volumes, see custom plans below.
These never appear on an invoice:
What you pay for is the prompts you monitor, how often they run and how many engines run them, plus any add-on you switch on. The pricing page shows the numbers.
7 days free: 25 daily prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. No card required, no auto-billing.
