AI Citation Monitoring
Faro
AI readiness auditing platform. Scores and fixes the technical infrastructure AI agents rely on.
Findrix
AI search visibility and citation tracker
Findrix monitors whether AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity cite your brand or content in their responses. It's a citation tracking tool: you ask questions your audience would ask, and Findrix tracks whether the AI answers mention you. Faro audits the infrastructure that determines whether you could be cited — your API documentation, structured data, llms.txt, pricing transparency, and MCP compatibility.
Faro is for
Faro is for businesses that want to improve their underlying AI readiness before or alongside monitoring. A Faro audit tells you what's blocking citations; Findrix tells you whether citations are happening.
Findrix is for
Findrix is for content and marketing teams that want to measure AI citation frequency and track it over time — effectively an AI analog of rank tracking in traditional SEO.

Starting with monitoring before fixing the foundation is like tracking your search ranking before fixing your website.
Bottom line
Faro is the foundation layer. Findrix is the monitoring layer. If you only use one, start with Faro — there is no point monitoring citations if your site gives AI agents nothing useful to cite.
