Open coverage

Missing a category? We'll build it.

Our coverage map is driven by what people actually ask AI engines. Tell us the market, the tool, or the head-to-head you want, and our research team will score the field and publish it — free, and with no influence on where anyone lands.

  • New categories are researched, scored, and published — typically within two weeks.
  • Missing tools are measured against the same eight signals as everyone else.
  • Any two brands can be turned into a head-to-head comparison page.
What should we cover?

A market we don't rank yet — we'll research it, score the field, and publish the ranking.

Requests are free. Coverage is editorial — requesting a category or tool never influences its Signal Score.

Frequently asked questions

How many categories does Top Citation Signal rank?+

We publish independent AI visibility rankings across every category listed on this page, grouped into clusters like AI Assistants, AI Creative, Developer, Marketing, Business Software, Productivity, and Consumer. New categories are added continuously, and anyone can request one.

Can I request a new category or a specific tool?+

Yes. Use the request form on this page to ask for a new category, a missing tool, or a specific head-to-head comparison. Requests are free, reviewed by our research team, and most published rankings go live within two weeks.

Do you only cover business software?+

No. We rank any market where AI engines make recommendations, including consumer categories like music streaming, video streaming, AI music generators, and AI chatbots, alongside B2B software.

Does requesting a category or tool affect its score?+

Never. Coverage is editorial and the Signal Score is calculated from the same eight independent signals for every brand. Requesting coverage, claiming a profile, or paying for enhanced features cannot change a score or a rank.
