Scripts can’t tell the truth.
AI engines make stuff up. Brand names drift. Competitors get mixed together. Most of what makes an audit honest happens before the score is written — by hand.
Every quote gets read twice — once by the script, once by me. Brand variants get matched back to one company. Competitor lists get narrowed to who you actually win and lose against. Sources get tiered by who AI trusts, not by domain authority.
If a script could do this honestly, I’d sell you the script. It can’t. AI engines fake citations. “Acme Co.” in one answer is “Acme Cleaning” in the next, and a script counts them twice. National chains crowd out local searches. The honest part of an audit happens before the score — and it happens by hand.
Score. Map. Gaps. Plan.
Four deliverables, one report. A BeCited Score (0–100) with 95% confidence interval. A Source Influence Map of every platform AI cites in your category. Every prompt gap, ranked by revenue impact. A 90-day action plan, prioritized per engine.
The score combines five signals: how often AI mentions you, how strongly it recommends you, which sources cite you, how the four engines agree, and how you stack up against real competitors. Every gap gets a root cause so you fix the real problem, not the symptom.

Every methodology choice below is published, calibrated, or both. If you find a gap, tell me — the audit method is open source on purpose.
Recommended vs. listed vs. mentioned-in-passing is a judgment call. The rubric was inter-rater tested at Cohen’s κ = 0.722 — substantial agreement per Landis & Koch. Most tools won’t publish their rubric, let alone calibrate it.
A score of “57” from 30 prompts isn’t a number; it’s a range. Every dimension ships with a binomial 95% CI so you can tell signal from noise — and don’t over-react to a 4-point movement that’s inside the margin.
AI engines split your brand across spellings — “Acme Co.”, “Acme Cleaning”, “Acme”. Scripts count them as separate entities and miscount your visibility. I match every variant to one company, every audit.
AI engines don’t cite by Domain Authority. They cite category-specific platforms — industry directories, review aggregators, vertical media. The audit tiers sources by who AI actually trusts in your category, not by general SEO weight.
