Citedex

A community-presence and AI-citation measurement workspace that tracks permitted subreddit mentions, contribution response, repeatable category queries, cited thread artifacts, and later referral observations without claiming that one post caused a citation or sale.

The case

A founder can spend months answering real questions in a community and still have no way to see whether those threads later appear in AI-generated category answers. Existing citation trackers show which domains or pages are mentioned; community tools show engagement; neither connects the founder's contribution history to repeatable citation observations. Citedex joins those timelines with source links, query versions, dates, and confidence. It measures patterns, not causal SEO: a citation can vary by prompt, engine, locale, and day, and traffic or revenue may have other causes.

Who pays — and why

An SMB founder or lean growth leader using Reddit as a primary community channel and needing to understand which authentic contributions are later discoverable in AI answers without turning participation into automated promotion.

What it unlocks
A six-month per-account time series linking community contributions, category-query observations, cited threads, referral events, and customer-attributed outcomes with uncertainty preserved
A recommendation corpus about thread types and community contexts associated with later citations, without optimizing spam or claiming causation
A founder-priced bridge between community analytics and AI answer visibility that the researched competitors treat as separate categories

Temporal window

The ProspectZero case empirically documents a Reddit-to-AI-citation funnel with 50–60 referred visitors per week.

8
Buyer persona

An SMB founder using Reddit as a primary channel is identifiable and directly owns community contribution and category visibility.

5
Convergence

Two cross-references, four inbound connections, and two direct links form a useful local cluster rather than broad category convergence.

Why it scored well

The founder buyer, community channel, and measurement gap are clear. A documented case reports 50–60 weekly AI-referred visits without traditional SEO, and live citation trackers validate willingness to pay while omitting community-contribution history.

What's holding it back

No structural incumbent copying cost is evidenced, contribution-to-citation correlation requires months of observations, and platform access and community norms constrain data collection. Existing citation vendors can add Reddit context, and referrals do not prove revenue causation.
