How It Works

Citations Drive AI Recommendations

When AI systems answer questions, they reference trusted sources. But not all cited sources are reachable. We help you find the ones you can actually influence.

Step 1

AI Queries Your Industry

User asks ChatGPT about "best marketing tools"

Step 2

AI Searches Trusted Sources

Looks at G2, Forbes, industry blogs...

Step 3

Citations Influence Response

Brands mentioned on those sources get recommended

Step 4

Your Brand Gets Visibility

More citations = higher AI visibility score

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are AI citations?
When AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini, and Grok recommend a brand, they cite sources—specific websites they used to form that recommendation. We track these citations across all your visibility reports, showing you which domains AI platforms trust and reference most frequently. Citations are the foundation of AI search rankings.
What is Rank Prompt Score?
Rank Prompt Score (0-100) measures how easy it is to get featured on a citation source through outreach. It analyzes URL intent patterns (reviews, comparisons, guides), domain reachability (can you claim a profile, contact authors, submit content?), citation frequency, and content type. High score = high outreach opportunity. It's NOT just citation frequency—Wikipedia gets cited constantly but has a near-zero score because you can't do outreach there.
Why does Wikipedia have citations but low Rank Prompt Score?
This is the key distinction: Wikipedia, Forbes, and major publications get cited by AI systems frequently, but they have LOW Rank Prompt Scores because you cannot realistically get featured there through outreach. Our score prioritizes actionable opportunities—sites like G2 (claim your profile), industry blogs (accept guest posts), and review platforms (respond to reviews) where you can actually build presence.
What makes a high Rank Prompt Score?
High-scoring sites (70-100) typically allow profile claims, accept contributor content, respond to outreach, or feature user-generated reviews. Examples: G2 (+25 pts), Capterra (+25 pts), Clutch (+20 pts), industry blogs with guest post programs. Low-scoring sites have penalties: Wikipedia (-30), Forbes (-20), YouTube (-25), Amazon (-20). The score helps you focus on sites where outreach actually works.
How do citations affect visibility?
AI systems prioritize sources they've successfully cited before when forming responses. If your brand is mentioned on sites that AI frequently cites AND where you can build presence (high RP Score), you're significantly more likely to be recommended. Citations act like "votes of confidence" that influence AI rankings—similar to how backlinks affect traditional SEO, but specifically for AI search.
Can I see competitor citations?
Yes! Our citation tracking shows which sources cite your competitors, their Rank Prompt Scores (outreach difficulty), how often they're cited by AI, and on which platforms. This helps you identify realistic targets—if a competitor is cited on a high-RP-Score site, you know: (1) AI values that source, and (2) you can get featured there too through outreach.
