Proofsource and Ghost: fixes that read like your publication
Connect Ghost with a custom integration and approved AI visibility fixes become posts or pages on your publication. Proofsource writes each one from the sources AI already trusts, publishes through the Ghost Admin API after your yes, checks it is live, and measures whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and the other engines start naming your brand.

Why we love Ghost
In the makers' own words, from their own pages. Proofsource builds on it, never around it.
Independent publishing, owned by you
Ghost is open source technology for independent publishers, so you run a modern publication on a platform you own and control your content completely.
From ghost.orgNewsletters and memberships built in
Ghost has email newsletters and paid subscriptions inside the same product, so a writer can grow an audience and a business without stitching tools together.
From ghost.orgA rich themes marketplace
The Ghost marketplace offers professional themes for magazines, blogs and news sites, so a publication can look distinctive from its first post.
From ghost.orgHow Proofsource uses Ghost
Publishes approved AI visibility fixes to Ghost as posts or pages, checks they are live, and undoes them.
- Know
Find the question you lose
Proofsource sees that ChatGPT or Perplexity names a competitor, not you, when buyers ask a question your publication never answers.
- Act
Draft the post that wins it
The draft is written from the pages AI already cites for that question, in your voice, and waits for your review.
- Ship
Publish through the Admin API
After your yes, Proofsource creates a post or a page, as you chose, and checks it is live.
- Prove
Check whether AI noticed
Proofsource asks the same questions again on day 7, 14 and 28 and shows engine by engine whether the Ghost page is now named and cited.

Questions about Proofsource and Ghost
How do I connect Ghost?
In Ghost add a custom integration under Settings, Integrations, then enter the site address and its Admin API key under Fixes, Publish it. Choose post or page and save.
How do I disconnect Ghost?
Remove the connection in Proofsource, or delete the custom integration in Ghost, which revokes the key immediately.
What does Proofsource change when I connect Ghost?
Only what you approve. Proofsource creates one post or page through the Ghost Admin API after you have seen the preview. It does not edit your theme, members, newsletters or existing posts.
Can I undo a page Proofsource published?
Yes. Undo takes down the post or page Proofsource published, from the same Publish to screen. You can also delete it inside Ghost.
What does Preview mean for the Ghost integration?
Ghost is open to Pro plans and above and carries a Preview badge while we widen what it can publish. Anything it publishes is real and goes live only after your approval.
How do I know a Ghost page helped my AI visibility?
Proofsource asks the same buyer questions again on day 7, 14 and 28 after the page went live and shows, engine by engine, whether the AI engines now name or cite you, next to the starting point it recorded before you published.
Which AI engines does Proofsource check?
Up to 10 depending on your plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI. The free scan and the trial run four of them.
