AI just rerouted your demand. You can't see where it went.
Brands know where they're mentioned. They don't know where the sale goes. Aqxle aggregates AI visibility data, connects it to outbound links, and resolves every redirect — so you finally see the full path from AI answer to sale.
This is what "Marketplace Capture" looks like in the wild.
We mapped 1.85M outbound affiliate links from PCMag — the top-10 AI citation source. Here is where the demand actually goes.

- The AI Illusion
Your brand gets the #1 spot and the organic citation inside the AI search engine response…
- The Margin Leak
…but the publisher's underlying affiliate stack routes 90.6% of the traffic away from your DTC site.
- Amazon Wins
Ultimately, 81.8% of those links land on Amazon, stripping you of your customer data and DTC margins.
- The Aqxle Difference
Traditional SEO tools stop at the redirector link. Aqxle resolves the entire path to the final merchant.
Don't let AI engines default your traffic to marketplace giants. Run a free sample audit for your domain
Your dashboards stop where AI starts.
Visibility tools show mentions — but not what happened after the answer.
Affiliate platforms show clicks — but can't tell if the click was a brand search or a redirect to a competitor.
Retail dashboards show sales — but can't tell the AI conversation, creator, or redirect that originated the demand.
From fragmented data to confident decisions.
Customers use Aqxle to unify marketplace data into a single trusted signal — and act on it faster.
“Aqxle turns fuzzy marketplace metrics into a single, trusted signal for confident decisions.”

Three things no other platform does.
One graph from every AI visibility source.
Aqxle ingests AI citation and visibility data from leading visibility and search analytics platforms — including tools like Profound, Gumshoe, and SEMrush — then normalizes it into a single Commerce Graph. Stop reconciling multiple dashboards. Stop arguing about whose numbers are right.
AI visibility connected to outbound link data.
Knowing you were mentioned isn't enough. Aqxle joins AI citation data to outbound link data from leading SEO intelligence platforms — so you see not just that a publisher cited you, but where their link sent the click.
Every affiliate redirect resolved to its true destination.
A Skimlinks URL doesn't tell you where the click landed. Neither does a Howl, Impact, or Rakuten link. Aqxle resolves the full redirect chain — so the link that looked like it went to your DTC site is correctly attributed to the marketplace it actually fed.
Measurement tools see fragments. Aqxle sees the graph.
Most platforms cover one slice of AI-driven commerce. Aqxle is the layer that unifies them.
