Citare measures visibility across all 5 AI search platforms — for INR pricing, with persona-anchored Indian-buyer coverage.

Frequently asked

Why do Indian SaaS brands need AI search measurement specifically?

Indian B2B SaaS buyers increasingly start research with AI assistants — ChatGPT for category exploration, Perplexity for sourced comparison, Gemini for procurement-shaped queries. The brands that surface in those answers are the brands that get on the shortlist. Indian SaaS founders are over-indexed on classic SEO and under-indexed on AI search; the buyer journey has already shifted.

Does Citare track AI search performance in India-specific queries?

Yes. The Brand Radar dispatch lets you configure India-specific personas (India-SMB, India-SaaS-founder, India-IT-decision-maker, tier-2-tier-3-buyer) and India-targeting queries. We also run the same query in English + transliterated Hindi + Devanagari script variants because the brand mix can differ by 30+ percentage points across script variants.

How does Citare pricing work for Indian SaaS startups?
