AI Citation Monitoring

How can I find out which AI systems cite my website?

Track the prompts that matter to your brand across AI platforms, then connect every citation back to the exact domain, URL, answer, and prompt that generated it.

Direct answer: To find out which AI systems cite your website, monitor a consistent set of relevant prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and other answer engines. Record when your domain is cited, which exact URL is selected, which prompt generated the citation, and which competitors or third-party sources appear alongside it. Repeating this process over time shows where your website earns, loses, or gains citation visibility.

01

See which AI platforms cite you

Compare citation visibility across the AI systems your audience actually uses instead of treating AI Search as a single channel.

02

Find the exact cited URLs

Identify which pages on your website are being selected as sources, not just whether your domain appears somewhere in an answer.

03

Connect citations to prompts

See which customer questions generate each citation so you can understand the topics and intents where your pages earn authority.

04

Compare competitor citations

Discover where competitors are cited instead of you and which competitor URLs repeatedly influence answers for the same prompts.

05

Analyze third-party sources

Understand which publishers, communities, review sites, and other external domains influence how AI systems represent your market.

06

Track citation changes over time

Monitor gains and losses to see whether content, technical, authority, PR, or distribution work changes your citation footprint.

A citation should lead to an insight.

Knowing that your website was cited is only the beginning. Useful citation intelligence explains where it happened, what generated it, which page earned it, who competed for it, and what changed over time.
