MEASURE DISCOVERY BEYOND BLUE LINKS
AI Citations & Brand Visibility
Track brand mentions, website citations, answer evidence and referral visits from major AI discovery platforms.
THE APPROACH
Prioritized work, not a generic checklist
AI visibility is volatile and platform-dependent. The dashboard separates observed evidence from inference: answer checks are logged with prompt and excerpt, while first-party referral tracking captures real visits without storing raw IP addresses.
01Build an evidence trail for AI-search tests
02Separate citations from brand-only mentions
03Measure real referral sessions alongside answer checks
04Avoid pretending volatile AI output is a guaranteed rank

QUESTIONS
What clients usually ask
Can this automatically query every AI platform?
The free core records verified observations and first-party referrals. Automated querying can be added only through an approved platform API.
Is referral tracking privacy-aware?
