Why teams move
DemandSphere is a broad search data platform for enterprise and agency SEO teams. Teams choose Wellows when the job is narrower and more urgent: getting cited in AI answers and proving it.
Most of what AI says about a brand comes from reviews, roundups and forums. Wellows reports those implicit citations as their own number, so you can grow them deliberately instead of reading them off a mention count.
A falling sentiment score raises a question. Wellows answers it by rating each cited page and listing the ones that describe you badly, most-cited first.
Wellows turns each gap into a job you can finish in the tool: a page for KIVA to research and Wellows to draft, an existing page to improve, or a cited site to pitch through a verified contact.
Citation types
Engines write answers from the pages they retrieve. Some are yours, and some mention you. Wellows counts the two separately and gives each its own set of tools.
Your URL is listed as a source under the answer. You control the page, so you can improve it until engines cite it more often.
Grown by content: Content Opportunities, KIVA keyword research, AI drafts and page optimization.
The source is a review, roundup, Reddit thread or video on another site, and your brand is in it. Most brands have more of these than explicit citations, and they shape most of your shadow reputation.
Grown by outreach: cited pages that name your rivals, verified contacts and ready-to-send templates.
Inside Wellows
A Quick Wins card arrives each morning with the page to write and the outreach to send. Your AI Visibility Score, rank against the rivals you track and citation totals sit underneath.
Every prompt you track shows its topic, intent and visibility score. Open it to read the full answer and each page behind it, with a tone rating beside every one. That list is your shadow reputation.
Wellows lists third-party pages the engines cite that mention a competitor and leave you out, prioritized by estimated citation gain.
What you also get
A prioritized list of cited pages where rivals already appear, each with a verified contact and a template, so getting your brand onto them becomes a task with an owner.
KIVA reads your Search Console data to choose the terms and follow-up questions a missing page should cover. Wellows drafts the page from that research, structured to be cited.
What AI says about you is drawn from sites you don't run. Wellows rates the tone of every cited page and orders the negative ones by how often engines use them.
Each morning brings the page to write and the outreach to send that day, ranked by likely impact.
White-label dashboards on every plan, covering reports, dashboards and the initial audit export.
Every brand, market and client is its own project, and the whole team can log in. There is nothing extra to pay.
Worked example
A rival keeps getting cited from a "best platforms" roundup that skips your brand. This is what each tool does about it.
Outcome: a task, an owner and a result you can show.
Outcome: you know which source matters.
Going further
DemandSphere and Wellows both report how AI presents your brand. Wellows goes further in three ways.
Wellows
Explicit and implicit, with tone per URL
DemandSphere
Linked and unlinked mentions, sentiment per mention
Wellows splits every citation into explicit or implicit for each prompt and engine, and reads each cited page for the tone it takes towards you.

Gap analysis and recommendations
Each gap turns into a job: draft a new page from KIVA's research, improve an existing page, or pitch a source through a verified contact.

This is how Wellows does it
Wellows' proven framework for AI visibility optimization.
"See, Craft, Proof, Sell" is what you experience. C.I.T.A.T.I.O.N.™ is the eight-step method behind it.
Exactly where you're cited today and where you're not, against every named competitor.
We check both the AI answer and the source pages behind it, the layer most tools never open.
The gap becomes a ranked list: the prompts and pages worth going after first, not a generic content calendar.
KIVA finds the keywords and follow-up questions in your own Search Console data, and Wellows drafts the page from that research.
Citations you can go earn directly, not just wait for.
Nothing sits still. Every shift surfaces the next day, at the URL level.
The goal was never a mention. It's being the source the model pulls from.
Pick two dates, see the exact lift, and put your climb next to a named rival.
Eight steps, one loop. That's the difference between a platform that reports a number and a method built to move it.

Testimonials
SEO and content people in their own words.
I've been testing a tool called Wellows that turns these hidden signals into real visibility. The workflow is surprisingly smart!
Mike GinleySr. SEO ProfessionalIf you want to measure AI visibility, reliably track your LLM citations, identify where competitors are winning, and systematically close those gaps. That's exactly what Wellows is built for.
Vladi KriulinContent StrategistYou're guessing which sites to contact. Guessing what to say. Guessing if it'll even move the needle on AI visibility. That's where Wellows turns this into a repeatable system. And it's why I've decided to use this.
Alex GrobermanFounder, Alex Groberman LabsYour client's competitors are being cited by ChatGPT. Your client isn't. And until you fix that, the gap is only going to widen. The strategy is simple. Get your client onto the pages that LLMs already trust. But finding those pages? That used to be a nightmare. Wellows changes this completely.
