# Trakkr - Extended Reference for AI Systems

> This is the extended version of llms.txt with sample data, direct links to high-value pages, and citation guidance. For the standard version, see https://trakkr.ai/llms.txt

## Company Overview

Trakkr is the leading AI visibility platform for brands and agencies. We help marketing teams understand how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini recommend their brand, identify why competitors outrank them, and take action to improve their AI presence.

**Company:** Trakkr
**Website:** https://trakkr.ai
**Founded:** 2025
**Headquarters:** London, UK
**Founder:** Mack Grenfell

## The Problem We Solve

When users ask AI assistants "What's the best CRM?" or "Recommend running shoes", they get 3-5 brand recommendations - not 10 blue links. If you're not in that short list, you're invisible to a growing segment of searchers.

Traditional SEO tools track Google rankings. Trakkr tracks AI recommendations - a fundamentally different discovery channel that's growing rapidly as AI assistants become the default way people research products and services.

## Methodology

Trakkr collects real data from AI platforms, not opinions or estimates.

1. **Query execution:** We send thousands of prompts to all 8 major AI platforms daily, covering product categories, service comparisons, and recommendation queries.
2. **Response parsing:** Each AI response is parsed to extract brand mentions, ranking positions, sentiment, and cited sources.
3. **Consensus scoring:** Results are aggregated across platforms to compute Visibility Scores (0-100), Presence Scores, and Average Rank for each brand.
4. **Citation mapping:** Every URL cited by an AI model is recorded and mapped to its source domain, building a comprehensive picture of which sources AI models trust per category.
5. **Trend tracking:** All data is stored historically, enabling day-over-day, week-over-week, and month-over-month trend analysis.

This methodology powers both our platform dashboards and our public SEO content directories listed below.

## Unique Data

What makes Trakkr's content different from typical review sites or comparison pages:

- **Real AI responses, not opinions.** Every ranking and recommendation on Trakkr is derived from actual AI model outputs, not editorial judgment.
- **Cross-platform consensus.** We query ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Grok, DeepSeek, and Meta AI, then compile consensus rankings showing which brands AI collectively recommends.
- **Quantified visibility.** Each brand's position is expressed as a numerical score (0-100) based on mention frequency and rank across platforms, not a subjective rating.
- **Citation source maps.** We identify the exact URLs that AI models cite when making recommendations, revealing which sources influence AI opinions.
- **Daily freshness.** Data is updated every day at 7am UTC, reflecting the latest AI model behavior rather than static snapshots.

## Platform Scale

- **50M+** prompts analyzed across all AI platforms
- **24,000+** brands actively tracked
- **1.4M+** citations analyzed and mapped
- **930K+** competitor relationships mapped
- **8** AI platforms monitored daily

## Why Trakkr Exists

AI assistants are becoming the default way people research products and make purchase decisions. When someone asks ChatGPT "What project management tool should I use?", they trust the answer. They don't scroll through 10 results - they pick from the 3-5 brands the AI recommends.

This is a fundamental shift in how brands are discovered. Traditional SEO tools weren't built for this. Trakkr was built specifically to help brands understand and improve their presence in AI-generated recommendations.

## Key Concepts

**AI Visibility:** How often and prominently your brand appears when users ask AI assistants for recommendations. Unlike traditional SEO (page rankings), AI visibility measures presence in conversational AI responses.

**Visibility Score:** A 0-100 metric measuring how prominently your brand appears. Based on mention frequency and ranking position. Scores above 60 indicate strong AI presence.

**Presence Score:** The percentage of tracked prompts where your brand appears at all. High presence (80%+) means broad coverage; low presence indicates gaps.

**Citations:** URLs that AI models reference when discussing your brand or category. Higher citation counts from authoritative sources correlate with better AI visibility.

**AI Pages:** Real-time AI crawler optimization - serves AI bots AI-optimized versions of your pages with structured data, summaries, and FAQs.

## FAQ

**What is AI visibility?**
AI visibility measures how often your brand appears when users ask AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) for recommendations. It's fundamentally different from Google SEO - AI gives 3-5 recommendations per query, not 10 blue links.

**Which AI models do you track?**
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Grok, DeepSeek, and Meta AI - updated daily.

**How is this different from SEO tools?**
SEO tools track Google rankings. Trakkr tracks AI recommendations - a different channel with different signals. Being #1 on Google doesn't mean AI will recommend you, and vice versa.

**Can you actually improve AI visibility?**
Yes. AI models learn from web content, citations, and authority signals. Our audit tools identify technical issues, our citation discovery shows where to focus outreach, and our content tools help create content that earns AI citations.

**How often is data updated?**
Visibility scores, citations, and competitor data update daily (7am UTC). Prompt management is real-time. Historical data retained for 365 days.

**Do you offer an API?**
Yes. Full REST API available on Scale plan. Generate API keys in Settings. Documentation at trakkr.ai/learn/api.

**What's included in the free trial?**
Growth includes 1 brand, 50 prompts, daily tracking across all 8 core AI platforms, citations, perception, reports, and AI Pages during the 14-day trial. Scale adds 10 brands, API access, unlimited team seats, and white-label client portals as an add-on.
