Xofu FUQs
What does Xofu track?
Xofu tracks where your brand appears across buyer prompts in AI answers.
It shows which competitors appear, which domains and pages get cited, and how visibility changes over time.
Where do Xofu prompts come from?
Xofu can start from a URL, brand name, or uploaded prompt list.
From there, teams can generate, import, edit, tag, and rerun prompts tied to the services, use cases, competitors, and buyer questions they need to track.
Which AI platforms does Xofu track?
Xofu runs prompt sets across supported AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, and more.
That helps teams compare visibility by platform without relying on one-off prompt checks.
Can Xofu show why competitors appear and we don’t?
Yes. Xofu shows the prompts, answers, cited sources, competitor mentions, and citation gaps behind AI answer visibility.
That helps Citation Labs identify where your brand needs stronger proof, better source coverage, clearer comparison assets, or more third-party citations.
How does Citation Labs use Xofu?
Citation Labs uses Xofu to turn AI visibility data into citation optimization campaigns.
The team locks a prompt set, maps the sources AI answers cite, builds a roadmap of on-page and off-page work, ships the campaign, then reruns prompts to measure movement.
