AI source & citation integrity monitoring
Are the sources shaping AI answers about your business still telling the right story?
The question this service answers
Are the observable sources and citations surrounding this business still accurate, consistent, and aligned with verified business information?
Recurring monitoring of a defined set of observable sources, citations and decision-critical facts, so drift is caught while it is still small.
When this is useful
Is this the right question for you?
AI Source & Citation Integrity Monitoring is a focused service. It answers one defined question rather than bundling in a broader program.
- Your business information lives in many places and you cannot keep checking all of them.
- You have corrected something before and want to know if it comes back.
- Third parties, directories, publishers or platforms describe your business and those descriptions change without warning.
- You want the source environment watched, not just the AI answer.
- Accuracy matters commercially: policies, eligibility, fees, hours, access or safety.
Scope
Two different questions
These two services are often confused. The distinction is simple and it matters when choosing.
- AI Misrepresentation Check asks whether AI is saying something wrong about your business right now.
- Source & Citation Integrity Monitoring asks whether the source environment around your business is drifting over time.
What is monitored
A defined, agreed set of observable sources. Nothing hidden and nothing assumed.
- Observed AI citations. Sources that AI experiences have visibly cited in captured answers.
- High-value third-party sources. Directories, publishers, platforms and industry sites that describe your business.
- Owned sources. Your own pages and published business information.
- First-party evidence. Platform reporting where it is available to you.
Your decision-critical fact set
Each client has a fact set appropriate to the business. It is agreed at the start and it is what monitoring is measured against. Examples may include:
- Hotels and resorts: parking, pet policy, resort fees, beach access, amenities and booking information.
- Restaurants: reservations, cuisine, dietary accommodations and service hours.
- Professional services: service area, specialties, eligibility and appointment information.
How findings are evaluated
Evidence first, then interpretation.
Each cycle closes with one status
- Consistent. Monitored sources still align with verified business information.
- Minor drift. Small differences appeared that are unlikely to change a customer decision yet.
- Material drift. A monitored source now says something that could change a customer decision.
- Investigation recommended. The pattern deserves a closer look than a monitoring cycle can give.
The Goldeneye evidence standard
- Observed. Something Goldeneye directly saw in a captured result, source or platform report.
- Supported inference. A reasonable conclusion the observed evidence supports, stated as an inference rather than a fact.
- Unknown. Something the available evidence cannot establish. Goldeneye reports it as unknown rather than filling the gap.
What you receive
What lands in your hands.
- A recurring brief showing the status of the monitored source set.
- What changed, where it changed, and whether it touches a decision-critical fact.
- Observed evidence separated from supported inference and from what remains unknown.
- A recommendation on what to correct, watch, investigate or leave alone.
- A running record of drift over time.
Important boundaries
- Goldeneye cannot know every possible source used by every AI system. Monitoring covers an agreed, observable set.
- A visible citation does not prove exact causal influence on an answer.
- Monitoring is not the same as correction. Fixing a third-party source is separate work.
- This service does not include implementation, content production or ongoing strategy by default.
Pricing
What it costs.
Monitoring requires a defined monitored fact and source set. We agree that set with you before the first cycle.
- Monthly
- $395/month
- Quarterly
- $995/quarter
- Required
- A defined monitored fact and source set
