When to Use It
When to Use It
- You want to track how often AI engines cite you versus competitors.
- A client asks for clarity on how their content is referenced by AI search.
- You want to review whether a content change improved citation frequency.
Common Pitfalls
- Zero citations does not mean the engine cannot see your site. It may not cite it for that query.
- Confusing a mention (brand name in text) with a citation (engine links to your URL).
- Comparing engines as if they behave the same way. Each engine surfaces citations differently.
