CitedLogic
Compare

The only premium local option with a real-market AI ranking engine.

Synthetic dashboards track where AI mentioned you. CitedLogic runs the local market from physical devices, builds the priority-weighted ranking and reputation plan, ships the fixes, re-runs the prompts, and proves the climb with screenshots.

Corner one

National & synthetic

Profound, Peec and Otterly measure brand mentions at the national level through APIs and headless browsers — never on a real device, never controlled to a city.

Corner two

Local & bargain

Local Falcon goes by-city at a bargain price, but the readings are still synthetic — simulated, not what a customer’s phone actually returns in the metro.

The empty quadrant

Premium + local + AI ranking engine

CitedLogic uses a real-market AI ranking engine, controlled to each metro, with screenshot-and-transcript proof for every ranking move.

Green is a clean yes. Amber is partial or qualified. A muted cross means it isn't offered.

The one-question test

Ask any vendor to prove it: a real device, at a real lat/long, with a timestamped app screenshot.

Every other tool queries an API or scripts a headless browser at the country level. Most won’t even disclose how they measure — because the answer is “synthetically.” CitedLogic is the only one that hands you the receipt.

Based on each vendor’s publicly documented methodology and pricing as of June 2026. “Partial” reflects a qualified, country-level, Maps-only, or undisclosed capability. Engine coverage shown is the three CitedLogic measures; several tools track additional engines.

The difference, in one image

Dashboards chart estimates. We hand you the artifact.

Every tool on this page can draw a trend line. None can hand you two untouched device captures of the same query, weeks apart, with the engine explaining the climb in its own words.

French Investments, Pensacola, FL. The before capture: ChatGPT wrote “ranks last due to no verifiable presence.” Fifteen days later, the same engine ranked them #2 — and explained why. No dashboard produces that.

Pricing context

Not the cheapest. The one you can cite.

Synthetic tools compete on price. CitedLogic competes on evidence a stakeholder will trust.
