Why does YouTube matter for AI visibility?

YouTube is one of the most cited domains in AI answers, especially in Google AI Overviews and Gemini, where video results are surfaced directly. If your brand publishes video, YouTube is often how AI models discover and recommend you.

How do you detect YouTube citations?

We monitor your tracked prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, detect every youtube.com and youtu.be citation, and enrich each one with channel, video title, view count, duration and format metadata.

Can I see only my own channel?

Yes. We match cited videos and profiles against your channel, so every table and chart flags your content with a "Yours" badge and reports your share of all YouTube citations.

Can I see which video formats get cited?

We split citations by format (regular, Shorts, live) and by video age, so you can see whether AI favors newer uploads or evergreen content for your topics.
