AI citation tracking

See which sources the assistants trust.

When ChatGPT or Perplexity answers with citations, it is showing you exactly which sites shape your category. CitePrism collects those citations from every sampled answer and categorizes them: your site, competitors, review platforms, communities, institutions. That list is your GEO to-do list.

  • Citations captured from every sampled answer
  • Categorized: own, competitor, review, social, institutional
  • Citation share tracked over time
  • Perplexity and web-search answers included
  • The searches the engines ran, with the words they add

Mentions are the score. Citations are the why.

A visibility dip tells you something changed. The citation list tells you what to do about it, because it names the pages the assistants are reading.

Find the kingmakers

If one review site keeps getting cited, your presence there matters more than another blog post.

Watch competitor content

When a rival comparison page starts appearing in citations, you will see it the week it happens.

Prove your own reach

Citation share shows whether your content is becoming a source the assistants rely on.

How it works

Live in minutes, honest forever.

1) Run your prompts

Scheduled sampling collects answers, and with them every source the assistants cite.

2) See the source map

Citations are grouped by domain and category, ranked by how often they appear.

3) Do the obvious thing

Fix your presence on the sources that matter, then watch citation share respond.

FAQ

Do all AI assistants cite sources?

No. Perplexity cites on nearly every answer, ChatGPT cites when it searches the web, Gemini often grounds in Google results, and Claude cites when browsing. CitePrism captures citations wherever the engine provides them and tracks coverage per engine.

What do the citation categories mean?

Each cited domain is classified as your own site, a competitor, a review platform, social or community content, search properties, institutional sources, or other. The categories turn a long URL list into a readable picture of who shapes your category.

How is this different from a backlink report?

Backlinks measure who links to you on the web. Citations measure which pages assistants actually pull into answers, which is a much smaller, more decisive set. A site with modest backlinks can dominate assistant citations in a niche, and you want to know when that site is not yours.
