AI answer citation rate calculator

Worked example

AI answers citing your site · 30%

See the formula

Sampled answers citing your site ÷ Sampled AI answers × 100.

How to interpret the result

Use a fixed question panel, surface and observation period. A citation measures visibility rather than a visit.

Publisher example

If 9 of 30 AI answers cite you, citation rate is 30%. If you ran 50 queries and 20 returned no AI answer, the share of all checks citing you is 18%. Record which question you are answering.
