The rapid adoption of AI is reshaping how users discover and consume information

61% of gen-Z and 53% of millennials report that they are using AI tools in place of search for information retrieval. (Source: The Verge ‘Remodelling the Internet’, 2025).

Your content is almost certainly being used by AI systems to respond to user prompts. This carries risks and opportunities. Your brand might be visible but users may not need to visit your website. Licensing revenues might follow but these systems can misrepresent your journalism.

Why this matters: AI Search is growing - Are you being left out?

Traditional search engines are evolving; AI-driven models are changing the way users discover your content.

AI Overviews and Generative Search: Google's AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and SearchGPT are influencing purchase decisions.
AI Chatbots Are Becoming Assistants: With the rise of AI-powered agents, more users will rely on chat-based answers.
Your content powers LLMs. Now get the data to prove its value.

Don’t wait—track the AI footprint of your content before your competitors take the lead.

Major media groups and news publishers need data to fuel critical decisions

To paywall or not to paywall?  To license or not to license?  We gather the data to help you make an informed choice and track your licensing agreements.

Are LLMs referencing your content or your competitors’?
Which topics and stories are you leading on… or missing out?
Do ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity cite your content in the top position?
Are AI platforms accurately representing your journalism—or ignoring it?
How do you benchmark against competitors with or without similar licensing deals?

Unique to Authoritas: Create a structured set of queries across your editorial pillars to identify where AI platforms are using your content—and where you're missing out on monetisable exposure.

FAQs for Publishers

Are we being cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity—and how can we tell?

Chevron
Yes, we track real-world outputs from major AI platforms by crawling their interfaces and combining that with API data. This allows us to show exactly when, where, and how your journalism is cited, mentioned, or linked to in AI-generated responses.

How do we know if our content is being used without attribution?

Chevron
We identify gaps between where your content is clearly influencing AI answers and where you’re not being credited. We also help flag potential scraping or hallucinated summaries that misuse your editorial work.

Can we use this data to support licensing negotiations with AI companies?

Chevron
Absolutely. We provide concrete, defensible data on the volume and positioning of your citations across platforms—ideal for substantiating your value in variable revenue share licensing deals.

Can we see how our content compares to other publishers with AI deals?

Chevron
Yes. Our competitive benchmarking shows how you stack up against peers—especially those with parallel AI licensing arrangements—across key topics, prompt categories, and citation volumes.

Do you support tracking by editorial section or topic?

Chevron
We do. You can categorise your prompts and content themes by topic (e.g., Politics, Sport, Business) and even monitor specific storylines. This lets you see how different parts of your newsroom are performing in AI search.

What’s the difference between branded and unbranded prompts?

Chevron
Branded prompts reference your publication directly (e.g., “latest news from The Guardian”), while unbranded prompts are generic (e.g., “top stories today” or “Ukraine war coverage”). We separate these to provide a cleaner view of where your content genuinely leads in news discovery.

Can we track specific articles, headlines, or story coverage?

Chevron
Yes. You can upload your own keywords, headlines, or story URLs and monitor how those pieces appear—or fail to appear—in AI answers. This helps guide editorial strategy in real-time.

Can we measure sentiment or tone in how LLMs talk about our journalism?

Chevron
Yes. We analyse whether your publication is presented positively, negatively, or neutrally in AI-generated summaries—allowing you to detect shifts in sentiment or reputation risk.

Do you support referral tracking or analytics integration?

Chevron
We offer optional integration with tools like GA4 or lightweight scripts that help track whether any traffic or engagement is coming from AI platforms—though referral traffic is often minimal in current LLM implementations.

Can this help us identify and respond to misinformation or hallucinated facts?

Chevron
Yes. You can monitor AI-generated responses for factual errors, incorrect sourcing, or hallucinations tied to your brand or reporting. This is crucial for safeguarding editorial integrity.

Do we need technical integration or developer support to get started?

Chevron
Not at all. You can start tracking your AI presence with just a domain and a list of topics. Server log or GA4 integration is optional for deeper insights.

Is this tool only for large publishers?

Chevron
No. We work with national titles, digital-first publishers, and specialist content brands alike. Whether you're managing a single site or an entire group of publications, our tools scale to fit your editorial and commercial needs.
