## What is AI citation tracking?

AI citation tracking records the sources AI answers link to when they respond to your prompts. Gensiv lists every cited domain and URL across seven engines, with the page's position in the answer, its source and content type, and how often it is cited over time.

Included on every plan, from $29 a month, with a 7-day trial.

## Every cited domain and URL

Top cited domains over time, citation share, and a table of cited URLs with source type, content type, engine and average position.

- **Cited domains and URLs**: See every domain and page the answers cite, split by source type and engine.
- **Position of every cited URL**: See where each cited page sits in the answer, by engine and over time.
- **Citation trends**: Spot the domains that gain or lose citations from one week to the next.
- **CSV and Excel exports**: Export prompts, responses, trends and Reddit citations into your own client decks.

## Reddit threads AI cites

Cited Reddit posts by subreddit, author, citation count and position, next to the domains on your citations page.

- **Reddit citations**: See which Reddit threads AI answers cite in your category. YouTube is next.
- **Actions board**: Turn tracking data into suggested fixes per client and track each one to done.
- **Offsite mention outreach** (coming soon): Find cited pages that skip your brand and draft the outreach email.
- **Query fan-outs**: See the web searches each engine runs behind a prompt before it answers.

## Become the page AI cites next

When AI cites a rival's page, content gaps show whether your site answers the same searches and whether to write a new page or improve one.

- **Content gap analysis**: Map your pages against AI answers to see the questions you never answer.
- **Content briefs**: Turn each gap into a brief with the sources, claims and structure AI cites.
- **Write and refresh content**: Draft new pages and improve existing ones from your gaps. Every page waits for your review.
- **Publish to your CMS** (coming soon): Send drafts or live posts to WordPress, Webflow or Framer in one step.

## How citation tracking works

1. **Track your prompts**: Each prompt runs daily on the engines you choose, and every cited URL is stored with its answer.
2. **See who gets cited**: Domains and URLs are ranked by citations, share and average position, per engine.
3. **Check your own pages**: Filter to your domain to see which of your pages AI cites and for which prompts.
4. **Earn the next citation**: Content gaps and suggested actions show where to publish or get mentioned.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between a brand mention and a citation?

A mention is the answer naming your brand in its text. A citation is the answer linking to a page as its source. You can be mentioned without being cited and cited without being mentioned, so Gensiv tracks both.

### Which AI search engine is most likely to cite my own website?

It varies by category and engine. Gensiv shows citations per engine, so you can see which engines cite your domain and which prefer review sites, Reddit or competitors.

### How do I track ChatGPT citations?

Add the prompts buyers ask, turn on ChatGPT, and Gensiv records every URL each answer cites, daily, with its position in the answer and the trend over time.

### Can I see which of my pages get cited?

Yes. Filter the citations page to your domain to list your cited URLs, the prompts and engines that cite them, and how their position changes.

### Why does AI cite a competitor's page instead of mine?

Usually the cited page answers the searches the engine ran more directly. Content gaps compare your pages with those searches and tell you whether to write a new page or improve one.
