AI citations

The web sources an AI engine references when generating an answer.

AI citations are the sources an AI engine links or references when it answers with live web search — the AI-era analogue of ranking on page one. When ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity cite your page, you get attributed traffic, brand authority inside the answer, and a compounding signal that your domain is a trustworthy source for that topic.

Citation analysis asks: which domains do engines cite for the buyer questions in your category, and is yours among them? If engines consistently cite a competitor's comparison page or a Reddit thread instead of you, that names your next content target precisely.
