Price your work on what it does, not who follows you.
Follower counts measure your audience. Citations measure your influence on the answer a buyer gets, which is a different thing and increasingly the more valuable one.
The rate-card problem
Creator pricing runs on audience size because audience size is the number everyone can see. It is a proxy, and like most proxies it rewards the wrong thing: a large passive following prices higher than a small one that brands actually get quoted alongside.
When an assistant answers a question about a product by quoting a review you made, that is a measurable outcome attached to your name. It is a stronger argument than reach, and until recently there was no way to show it.
Built for the way you already work.
Evidence for the pitch
Not a media kit full of impressions. A record of your work being quoted by name, on specific engines, in answer to specific questions.
Your back catalogue keeps working
A post from last year can still be earning citations today. A standing schedule means you find out rather than assume it went quiet.
Attribution that follows you
Each placement is tagged to whoever made it, so the work stays yours in a brand's reporting rather than dissolving into a channel total.
Set it up once. Plug runs as often as daily.
- 01
Add your work
The posts, videos, threads and reviews you have made, including the brand work you were paid for.
- 02
Add the questions in your niche
What people actually ask an assistant when they are deciding what to buy.
- 03
Take the receipts into the next conversation
Which pieces got quoted, where, and how often. That is a rate conversation with evidence in it.
Questions, answered plainly.
Do I need the brand's permission to track my own work?
No. Plug reads publicly visible AI answers and checks whether your published content is quoted in them. Nothing here requires access to anyone's account.
What counts as a citation?
The engine quoting or naming a specific piece of content while answering. Not the engine mentioning a brand with no source, and not simply listing a URL.
Plug is built for four kinds of people.
SEO & AEO teams
You already prove your own pages work in AI search. This is the off-site half you've had no data on: the Reddit threads, forum answers and review listings that engines quote instead of your domain.

Your posts and videos are already published. See which ones AI actually quotes back, which platforms it favours, and whether a piece is still being cited six months after it went out.

Turn citations into client reporting: which piece, which engine, which query, on what date. Receipts, not screenshots. It is the difference between reporting reach and reporting results.
