2kinds of citation

decide your AI reputation: a page you own being quoted, or another site's page that names you being quoted. Wellows tracks both and helps grow them.

Overview

  • Reputation is built on sources. Monitoring tells you what AI said about you. Citations tell you which pages made it say that. Wellows separates citations from plain mentions, and splits them into explicit (your page is the source) and implicit (a cited third-party page mentions your company).
  • Your shadow reputation, page by page. AI's view of your company is pieced together from other sites. Wellows grades each cited page for tone and lists the URLs driving negative sentiment.
  • From monitoring to repair. Outreach targets with verified contacts, KIVA keyword research, AI-drafted pages and optimization that gives each prompt one page are on every plan, so you can change the answer, not only watch it.
  • Lower cost, no seat caps. Wellows costs $29 to $497 a month, and seats are unlimited. AIQ lists $399 a month for one seat and four models, and $799 for two seats and eight models.

Why switch

Why comms and marketing teams pick Wellows as their Five Blocks AIQ alternative

AIQ is built for PR teams that want to watch AI narratives. Teams choose Wellows when they also need to change those narratives at the source.

Knowing the narrative is only half of the job to do

Seeing that ChatGPT describes your company badly is useful. Knowing which cited pages it took that view from is what lets you correct it. Wellows records every source behind an answer and keeps citations separate from passing mentions.

Third-party pages write your AI reputation

Most of what AI repeats about a company comes from reviews, news, listicles and forum threads. Wellows shows which of those pages engines cite most, how each one describes you, and where a competitor is put forward instead.

Each risk comes with a fix to make

Wellows turns each problem page or missing citation into work: update your page, publish a new one, or contact a source. Quick Wins ranks the work by impact and the 30-day plan sets the order.

Citations

Two kinds of AI citation, and how to grow each one

AI answers draw on the pages engines retrieve. Your own page may be one of them, or a page about you may be. Wellows reports the two separately and gives each a different set of tools.

Explicit

An engine quotes a page on your site

ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity used your own URL to build its answer and listed it as a source. You control that page, so you can correct it, clarify it and make it easier to quote.

Improved with content: Content Opportunities, KIVA keyword research, AI drafts and page fixes.

Implicit

An engine quotes a page that names you

The engine relied on a review, a news story, a Reddit thread or a video that mentions your company. These usually outnumber explicit citations, and they are where your shadow reputation takes shape.

Improved with outreach: cited pages naming rivals, verified contacts and a drafted pitch.

Beyond monitoring

What Wellows adds to reputation monitoring

Outreach that turns mentions into citations

Pages that AI engines use already have your competitors listed. These pages are sorted by how strong they are and how many times they are mentioned. Every one of these pages has a contact person and a message you can send.

KIVA does the research, Wellows drafts the page

KIVA looks through your Search Console data for the keywords a missing page should cover and the follow-up questions engines ask in the background. Wellows writes the draft from that research, ready to be cited.

Shadow reputation by URL

Engines describe your company through pages you did not write. Wellows scores each cited page for tone and ranks the negative ones by how often engines return them, so the worst get fixed first.

A daily brief on you and your rivals

Every morning you receive an update about what has changed. You find out which competitor moved forward and where you fell behind. The same kind of update goes to the rivals. Because of this, any change in how the AI talks about them becomes clear right away.

White-label reports for clients

Per-client and per-country dashboards in your agency's branding. On every plan from $29.

Unlimited projects and seats

Every brand, market and client is its own project, and every teammate gets a login. No per-seat fees.

Example

One problem, two tools

A critical review article keeps shaping how AI describes your company. Here is what each tool gives you to work with.

In Wellows

  1. 1The article appears as a negative cited page, ranked by how often engines return it and its authority.
  2. 2You see which prompts it affects and get a verified contact for its editor.
  3. 3You pitch a correction or a fresh source, and later scans show the change in tone.

Outcome: You have a task, an owner and a result to report.

In Five Blocks AIQ

  1. 1AIQ shows the article among the sources AI models reference for your brand.
  2. 2Sentiment and theme tracking show how the narrative is affecting your brand.
  3. 3Deciding on a response and contacting the editor happen outside AIQ.

Outcome: You know the narrative.

This is how Wellows does it

Introducing C.I.T.A.T.I.O.N.™

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.

  1. Chart the visibility gap

    Exactly where you're cited today and where you're not, against every named competitor.

  2. Investigate why competitors are cited

    We check both the AI answer and the source pages behind it, the layer most tools never open.

  3. Target the prompts and pages that matter

    The gap becomes a ranked list: the prompts and pages worth going after first, not a generic content calendar.

  4. Author content built to be cited

    KIVA finds the keywords and follow-up questions in your own Search Console data, and Wellows drafts the page from that research.

  5. Trust-build through verified outreach

    Citations you can go earn directly, not just wait for.

  6. Improve against daily signals

    Nothing sits still. Every shift surfaces the next day, at the URL level.

  7. Own the answer

    The goal was never a mention. It's being the source the model pulls from.

  8. Numbers that prove the movement

    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

What practitioners say about Wellows

Feedback from people working in AI search.

  • I've been testing a tool called Wellows that turns these hidden signals into real visibility. The workflow is surprisingly smart!

    Mike GinleySr. SEO Professional
  • If 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 Strategist
  • You'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 Labs
  • Your 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.

    Freddie ChattEcommerce SEO Consultant
