Citation Tracker · source-level, per engine

Find out which pages assistants trust — and which aren't yours.

Being mentioned is good. Being cited is better: it means an assistant sent the reader to your page. The Citation Tracker shows every URL cited about you, per engine, and every third-party source winning that job instead.

How it works

Every source link, extracted and resolved.

From the same stored answers that produce your score.

01
Collect
Every answer we store is scanned for source links, footnotes and inline attributions.
02
Resolve
Redirects, tracking parameters and canonicals are resolved so one page is not counted as five.
03
Attribute
Citations are grouped by URL, engine and prompt, and separated into yours versus third-party.
04
Act
Pages winning citations get reinforced; third-party sources winning them get answered on your own site.
What it shows

Six answers you cannot get elsewhere.

Mention-level metrics stop exactly where this begins.

Citations per URL

Which of your pages get linked, how often, and by which assistant.

Third-party sources

The directories, forums and competitor pages cited about you instead of your own site.

Wrong-page citations

When an assistant links your blog post rather than the product page you want it to send people to.

Freshness signals

How old the cited version is, so you can see when a stale page is doing the talking.

Prompt attribution

Which questions each citation came from, so you know what the page is actually answering.

Citation alerts

When you gain or lose a cited page, or a new third-party source starts outranking you.

Mentions vs citations

Why the difference matters.

One is awareness; the other is traffic and control.

Questions

About citation data.

The same stored answers behind your visibility score. Nothing is scraped from third-party rank data.

Perplexity cite heavily, ChatGPT and Claude do so when browsing, Gemini varies. We record what each one exposes and never infer a citation that was not shown.

Yes — every count links to the stored response, with a timestamp.

You will see it, with the cited version’s age. Usually the fix is a redirect and a refreshed canonical page.

See who is being cited about you.

The free check surfaces your top cited pages and the third-party sources beating them — in two minutes, no account.
