How do you track AI citations and rankings?

Save the prompts buyers ask, run each on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and record four things per run: whether your brand is named, its position in the answer, the competitors named and the URLs cited. Keep every run and compare across them, because answers change. Your AI ranking is the mention rate and average position over many runs, not one screenshot. AI citation tracker

Rank trackers stop at Google

Your rank tracker says position 3 on Google. It can't tell you whether ChatGPT names you when a buyer asks for a recommendation, or which page it cites.

No list to scrape

An AI answer is a paragraph, not ten blue links. Your ranking is where you are named in the answer; your citation is your URL in its sources.

Answers change run to run

The same prompt can name you on Monday and skip you on Tuesday. One screenshot is a sample, not a ranking.

Competitors share the answer

When you're missing, someone else is named. You need to see who, and which of their pages the engine cites.

Prompts worth tracking

Track the questions buyers ask before they choose, not only your brand name. Mix category, comparison and problem prompts.

Prompt research suggests prompts from your site and can generate them for a chosen country and language.

From prompt list to ranking report

Prompts run when you start them, and every run is stored, so you compare answers over time instead of trusting one check.

Choose prompts and rivals

Add prompts by hand or let prompt research suggest them from your site, then add the competitors you want to see in the same answers.

How to read your AI ranking

Measure across many runs, per engine. A single check tells you little.

Mention rate

Share of runs in which the engine names your brand, per prompt and engine.

Citation rate

Share of runs in which one of your URLs is in the answer's sources.

Average position

Where you appear in the answer when you are named. Lower is earlier.

Competitor share

Competitor intelligence

How often each tracked competitor appears on the same prompts.

Sentiment

Whether the answer describes you positively, neutrally or negatively.

44%

of prompt-and-engine pairs named the tracked brand in some runs and not in others.991 successful runs of 45 prompt-and-engine pairs with at least 5 runs each, tracked in AI Rank Lab between February and October 2026.

median overlap of cited domains between two consecutive runs of the same prompt on the same engine.Jaccard similarity of the cited domains (1 = identical sources), same 45 pairs and 991 runs.

What AI ranking data can't tell you

Read it as a sample of answers, not a fixed position.

Single runs mislead

The same prompt can name you on one run and skip you on the next. Compare mention rate and position across several runs.

Assistants don't emulate a location

Runs on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity don't pretend to be in a country or town, so write the market into the prompt. Google AI Overview and AI Mode checks take a country and language per query.

Prompts run when you start them

There is no automatic daily monitoring. Run the prompt set before each review; prompts opted in to the Action Plan citation tracker are re-checked weekly.

Citations don't equal clicks

Track AI referral traffic

Being cited doesn't mean people click. Pair citation data with AI referral tracking to see the visits.

Questions buyers ask us

Something else? Ask the team

How can I track AI citations for my brand and my competitors?

Save the prompts your buyers ask, add the competitors you care about, and run the prompts on each engine. AI Rank Lab records whether you and each competitor are mentioned, the position, the sentiment and the cited URLs, and keeps every run so you can compare over time.

What is an AI citation tracker?

A tool that records which sources an AI answer cites for a prompt, and whether your pages are among them. In AI Rank Lab, citation analytics shows the cited domains and URLs, and the citation tracker re-checks opted-in prompts weekly.

Which AI engines does AI Rank Lab track?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, plus Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. AI Overview and AI Mode checks take a country and language per query; runs on the four assistants do not emulate a location.

Can I see Perplexity and Gemini visibility separately?

Yes. Every metric is broken down per engine, so you can see that a prompt names you in Perplexity but not in Gemini, and which sources each one cites.

How often are my prompts checked?

Prompts run when you start them. Prompts you opt into the citation tracker are re-checked weekly. There is no automatic daily monitoring.

What's the difference between a mention and a citation?

A mention is your brand named in the answer text. A citation is one of your URLs listed as a source. You can be mentioned without being cited, and cited without being recommended.

What does it cost?

A prompt run on one engine uses about 100 credits. Signup includes 100 free credits with no card; paid plans start at $69 a month with 10,000 credits.
