Do I need to track all 9 AI engines or just ChatGPT and Google?
There are now many AI answer engines. Tracking all of them sounds expensive and noisy. Is it enough to watch ChatGPT and Google, or do the others matter?

Start where your customers are, then widen when the data tells you to.
For most local and small business questions, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews are the practical starting pair. That is also what the Doily Free plan covers: 3 prompts weekly on those 2 engines.
Reasons to add more:
The full list in Doily is ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, and DeepSeek. Paid plans check prompts daily. Starter covers 30 prompts daily across 5 engines, or 75 prompts on ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Team adds all 9 engines weekly. DeepSeek results are labeled approximate in the product, because it runs as open weights on a U.S. cloud and is grounded with Google results.
A practical approach: track the 2 main engines on your full prompt set, then run your 10 most valuable prompts on every engine once a week. If an engine never mentions anyone in your category, drop it from the daily set. If it names your competitors and not you, move it up.
Your pages sit on page one for the searches that matter. Then you ask ChatGPT for recommendations in your category and it names other businesses, never yours. It looks like a contradiction. What explains it, and what…
AI engines can only cite what they can fetch. If a firewall or a robots.txt rule is turning their crawlers away, you could be missing for a reason that has nothing to do with your content. How do you check?
llms.txt is a plain text file at the root of a site that lists key pages for AI systems. Plenty of advice says to add one. Does it change whether AI engines mention or cite you?
