What is AI citation tracking?
AI citation tracking is the practice of monitoring every time AI search engines name, recommend, or cite your brand in their generated answers — including the specific prompt that triggered it, the position within the answer, and the source URL the AI referenced.
For modern marketing teams, AI citations have become the new backlink: a leading indicator of category authority and a direct driver of zero-click pipeline.
