Answer-engine monitoring
Citation Tracking
See where AI names your brand, cites your pages, or chooses another source.
Citation tracking repeats a defined set of questions, records the answers and sources, and compares the results over time. It turns scattered spot checks into evidence your team can review.
What You Get
Prompt Set
Build a stable group of brand, product, service, comparison, and educational questions to test repeatedly.
Engine Observations
Record what each selected answer engine returned on the date and account setup used for the test.
Cited Source Inventory
Capture the pages, publishers, brand sites, forums, and other sources named in each answer.
Brand Description Check
Compare how engines describe your company, products, services, people, and locations.
Change History
Keep dated observations so a new citation, lost mention, or description change has a real before and after.
Opportunity Review
Find the pages and proof competitors supply when your own site does not answer the same need clearly.
Deliverables
Citation dashboard
A dated view of mentions, cited sources, answer differences, and recurring competitors.
Managed prompt library
A documented question set tied to real products, services, customer decisions, and informational needs.
Source and competitor map
A record of which domains and pages appear repeatedly for each topic.
Prioritized content actions
A short list of pages to clarify, expand, connect, or support with better evidence.
Recommended Actions
Keep the test conditions
Record the engine, date, prompt, account state, and location when available. Results can vary between runs.
Separate mentions from citations
A brand name in an answer and a linked source are different events. Track both without combining them.
Strengthen the missing evidence
When another source wins, inspect what it explains or proves before producing another page.
Treat retrieval as evidence of access
A crawler request shows a page was retrieved. It does not prove the page was indexed, cited, or used in an answer.
