Choose the right collection method for the question. An engine label, a selected country and an observed local answer are separate facts.
Website audits and manual answer evidence are available. No live automated AI benchmark is published. Each source below has its own collection method.

HowAICite stores country code, region, city, answer language and location provenance. For the OpenAI API, location is an approximate request to the provider. It does not prove where a consumer search ran. Manual observations depend on the location details supplied by their collector.
We do not label a country as measured until a saved observation documents that scope. Cross-country comparisons need equivalent questions, native-language review and enough repeated answers in each cohort.

Answer language is independent of interface language. Public documentation and the operational workspace currently use English.
Public HTML checks, private reports, account recovery codes, saved prompts, manually recorded answers, source analysis, improvement plans, JSON/CSV exports and printable reports.
Team invitations, SSO, automated email reports, white-label reports, separate client workspaces and public developer API access.
Scheduled multi-engine runs and public cross-market benchmarks. Website audits and planned prompts do not count as AI answer observations.
Review proposed plans and the release log for scope. Availability changes require a documented product release.
Inspect a website, save an observed answer, and decide what to improve.
