Frequently Asked Questions

What are AI citations?

When AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode (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.

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.

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.

How do citations affect visibility?

AI systems prioritize sources they've successfully cited before when forming responses. 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, how often they're cited by AI, and on which platforms. This helps you identify realistic targets.
