Citation rate
How often AI answer engines cite your site on your tracked prompts, measured from sampled probes over time.
As people ask AI assistants instead of typing into a search box, being cited in the answer becomes the new ranking. Citation rate is the share of your tracked prompts where an AI answer engine referenced your site, measured from sampled probes.
We report it as a trend with a confidence band, not a single hero number, because each measurement is a sample and samples wobble. A rising trend that clears its band is real progress; a one-day jump inside the band is noise.
