The product explains the result, preserves its source context and makes the next review explicit.

01
Use actual answer citationsDo not count a retrieval candidate as if the model cited it.
02
Keep breadth and count distinctOne question citing many pages should not distort source breadth.
03
Separate citation from recommendationA brand page can be cited without the brand being recommended.

FAQ

Questions about Citation Sources

Does this feature run from the public website?

No. Marketing pages explain the capability. Formal data collection begins only after a user enters the App and confirms the project scope.

Can snapshot results become part of this workflow?

Yes. A valid snapshot can be claimed as an initial sample, while onboarding still confirms markets, competitors and the formal monitored question set.

Are all metrics comparable across AI engines?

Core answer states can be normalized, but citations, search assistance and answer formats still need engine-specific evidence.

How often is the data refreshed?

Measurement runs on the schedule your plan allows, and monitoring quota is shared at the account level. Alerts require two consecutive runs to confirm, so model sampling noise does not become a false alarm.

Can the original AI answer be inspected?

Yes. Every result drills down to the answer that produced it, question by question and model by model, together with the citations found in that answer.

What happens when a model is unavailable?

That run is marked partial rather than being silently filled in. The remaining engines still complete, and the gap stays visible in the result.
