Answer-engine tracking asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity your target questions once a week and records whether your site is cited. Each engine needs its own API key, pasted under Settings → Other keys.
What you will need
- OpenAI: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys. Gemini: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey. Perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai/settings/api. Each with a small balance.
