To track and improve where your brand appears in AI answers in Pakistan, the first thing that decides the playbook is which engines are even reachable: Pakistan queries in both English and Urdu with strong ChatGPT uptake; all engines are reachable, so bilingual coverage is the lever, and English content earns the international and business answer while Urdu earns the local one. Cituna measures your standing across the seven engines Cituna tracks, in English and Urdu-relevant queries, and joins it to Google Search Console so a change can be checked against real clicks rather than taken on trust.

Which AI engines matter in Pakistan

In Pakistan, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode are reachable and used, so those are the answers your brand can win or lose here.

Every one of the seven Cituna tracks is reachable here, so access is not the constraint in Pakistan, language coverage and citation strength are. That is the useful finding: the fixes that move the answer are on-page and off-page work, not engine access.

The language buyers actually query in

Buyers in Pakistan query in English and Urdu, and an AI engine answers in the language of the question. A brand whose only content is in another language is simply absent from that answer, however strong its site is, because the passage the engine would lift does not exist in the language it is answering in.

Google is the dominant traditional search engine here, and its index still seeds much of what the answer engines retrieve, so the two are not separate projects: earning the classic result and earning the AI answer in Pakistan are the same content, in the right language, made citable.

What is specific to Pakistan

The market-specific fact worth planning around: Pakistan queries in both English and Urdu with strong ChatGPT uptake; all engines are reachable, so bilingual coverage is the lever, and English content earns the international and business answer while Urdu earns the local one.

Run the check yourself before accepting anyone’s advice about Pakistan, including ours: ask the engines that are reachable here a question your buyer would actually type, in English and Urdu, and record which brands are named and which are absent. The answer for your category and your city inside Pakistan will differ from the general case in ways that change what is worth fixing.

How to track and improve AI visibility in Pakistan

Start by measuring where you stand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode for the queries that matter in Pakistan, on a schedule rather than once, because a single answer from any engine is a sample, not a position. Then act on the two levers that move it: English and Urdu-native content that gives the engine a passage to lift, and citations on the third-party sources those engines already trust in this market.

Cituna tracks all seven engines, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, from the $39 Starter, and joins the result to Google Search Console so a movement in Pakistan can be checked against real clicks. The most useful output is usually not the score but the competitor list, because it tells you which brands are being named in your place in this market.
