What’s the best CRM for a 20-person B2B SaaS team?

For a team that size, Brightgrid and Fieldnote come up most often. Fieldnote is a good fit if you want lightweight pipeline tracking[1], while Brightgrid suits teams that need heavier automation[2]. Ledgerly costs less but has fewer integrations[3].

The problem

Ranking on page one doesn’t mean AI recommends you.

A top ranking shows where your link sits. It doesn’t show what an AI assistant says when a buyer asks which product to choose, or who it names instead of you.

  1. Missing from the answer

    Buyers ask AI for recommendations. If your brand isn’t in the answer, you’re not on the shortlist.

  2. A competitor named instead

    When AI lists options, a competitor can take the spot you wanted, and nothing in your analytics shows it.

  3. Other sites doing the talking

    AI often cites review sites and roundups instead of your own pages, and those sources shape how you’re described.

What Aucited tracks

Six signals, each with evidence.

Each finding is tied to a recorded answer. Not every AI platform exposes every one of these signals, so reports note what each platform shows.

  • Brand Visibility

    How often the brand appears in the tracked responses.

  • Recommendations

    Whether the answer explicitly recommends the brand.

  • Competitor Mentions

    Which competing brands appear in the same answers.

  • Sentiment & Sources

    What AI says that is positive or negative, and which sources it comes from.

  • Response Evidence

    Screenshots and recorded answers that support each finding.

  • Visibility Trends

    How results change across repeated reporting periods.

Three signals, never blended

Mention

The brand is named in the answer.

Says nothing about whether the answer favors it.

Recommendation

The answer explicitly advises choosing the brand.

A stronger signal than a mention.

Citation

The answer links or references a source URL.

Not an endorsement. The source may favor a competitor.

How it works

From questions to action list, in three steps.

Checks run weekly and your report arrives monthly. It’s a hands-on service, so a person stays accountable for what you receive.

  1. 01

    Define the questions

    We select relevant buyer questions based on your brand, market, audience and competitors. The prompt set is agreed with you before tracking begins.

  2. 02

    Track real AI responses

    We run the agreed prompts in real browser sessions on the supported AI platforms, record each full response and its citations, and capture a screenshot as proof.

  3. 03

    Get your report and action list

    You receive a clear report by email: where you appear, how you compare, what AI says about you and what to improve. Next month, it shows what changed.

Evidence and methodology

Every finding has a receipt.

Aucited runs your prompts in a real browser, as a buyer would, and keeps what it sees. You can check any number in your report against the original answer and its screenshot.

What gets recorded

  • The full text of each AI response
  • Screenshots of the tracked browser session
  • Cited URLs, where the platform shows them
  • The prompt, platform and week of each run

The amount of evidence depends on the plan. See pricing for details.

Read results within their scope

AI answers can vary by time, session, model and context. Your report describes what was observed in the the tests we ran, with the prompts, platforms and weeks stated. It is not a universal measure of every possible answer, and it does not claim to reproduce every user’s experience.

How we measure

Measure AI visibility where people actually search

Not all AI visibility tools measure the same experience.

Browser-based AI search visibility tracking records what AI assistants actually show people in a browser, and keeps a screenshot as proof.

Many tools

API-generated responses

Many tools rely on APIs to generate responses, which can differ from browser-based sessions.

Aucited

Browser-session responses

Aucited captures responses directly from browser-session AI interfaces.

What you get

Not just data. A clear list of what to improve.

Every monthly report turns the findings into plain-language insights and next steps, then shows whether they moved.

  1. See where you stand

    Are you mentioned, recommended, or missing? And how do competitors compare?

  2. Get your action list

    A short, prioritised list of what to improve, written in plain language.

  3. Check progress next month

    We re-run the same prompts, so your next report shows what changed.

What AI says about your brand

Positive

  • “Easy to set up”Source: review site
  • “Good for small teams”Source: comparison blog

Negative

  • “Limited integrations”Source: forum thread
  • “Pricing unclear”Source: outdated listing

You see the good and the bad, and the exact sources behind the negatives, so you know where to act.

Your action list

  • Correct the outdated pricing on the listing AI keeps citing.
  • Answer the “limited integrations” complaint on your integrations page.
  • Add a clear comparison page for the prompts where a competitor is recommended instead.

Work through them, then check next month’s report to see if they helped.

What we can and can’t promise

AI answers work on probability, so no one can guarantee you’ll be mentioned in every answer. We can show you what to improve and track whether your AI search visibility is improving.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What is browser-based AI search visibility tracking?

It is recording what AI assistants actually show people in a normal browser session, then measuring whether your brand is mentioned, recommended or cited.

Aucited runs an agreed set of buyer questions in browser sessions, saves each full response and its citations, and captures a screenshot as proof.

Why do AI visibility numbers differ between tools?

Tools can measure different things: some generate answers through APIs, while others record what appears in the browser.

Consumer apps and search pages add features such as web search, citations and product-level instructions, so API answers can differ from what people see. If a tool’s numbers don’t match what you see yourself, check how it collects its answers.

Are API responses the same as what users see?

Not always. An API response can differ from the consumer app or search page in wording, sources and citations.

Browser-based tracking records the user-facing result instead. Neither method reproduces every user’s experience, which is why each run in a report states its platform, prompt and week.

Does Aucited provide screenshot evidence?

Yes. Findings are paired with the recorded answer, any cited URLs and a screenshot of the tracked browser session, where the platform shows them.

You can download screenshot evidence each month, and the files are automatically deleted after 30 days. Research includes more extensive evidence collection.

Which AI platforms do you monitor?

Starter covers ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, Growth adds Google AI Mode, and Research adds Perplexity.

Not every platform exposes the same information, so findings are reported per platform.

What do I actually receive each month?

A report by email with your visibility findings, competitor comparisons, sentiment and sources, screenshot evidence and an action list.

There is no live dashboard at this time. The next report shows whether the numbers moved after you act on the list.

Can Aucited guarantee that AI will mention my brand?

No. AI answers work on probability, so no one can guarantee a mention in every answer.

Aucited shows you what to improve and tracks whether your AI search visibility is improving over time.

How is Aucited different from automated analytics software?

Aucited is a hands-on service built around evidence. Automated tools trade evidence for scale.

Software can cover far more prompts at higher frequency, so if you need that scale it may fit better. If you need to see, and prove, what AI actually showed, Aucited is the better fit.

How are prompts selected?

We draft buyer questions with you, then agree the final set before tracking begins.

We base them on your brand, market, audience and competitors. Once agreed, the set stays fixed so results can be compared over time, and any change is documented.

How frequently are responses checked?

Checks run weekly and results are reported monthly.

Aucited does not offer daily or real-time monitoring today.

Can I track my competitors?

Yes. Competitor comparisons are included in every plan.

They run across the same prompt set as your own brand.

Do you provide SEO fixes or implementation?

No. You get a clear action list, and you make the changes yourself.

Aucited does not change your website, and the next report shows whether visibility moved. We do not promise changes in AI answers or traffic.

How do I receive my report?

By email.

There is no live customer dashboard at this time.

Can the monitoring scope be customized?

Within each plan’s limits, yes. You choose the prompts, competitors and platforms with us.

If you need more than a plan includes, get in touch and we will discuss a custom scope.
