Mentions, counted daily
How many answers named you each day, next to every competitor.
Count every time AI names or links to you
A mention is AI saying your name. A citation is AI linking to your site as a source. Gensiv counts both, day by day, and shows where in the answer you appear, so you know if you are the recommendation or a footnote.

Mentions & Citations
What is the difference between a mention and a citation?
A mention is an AI assistant naming your brand in the text of its answer. A citation is the assistant linking to your domain as a source behind that answer. You can be mentioned without being cited, and cited without being recommended, so the two are counted separately and trended over time.

- 2 counts
- Positions #1 to #5, then #6 and below
- 6 buckets
- The same counts for each competitor you track
- Every brand

How we measure
Counts you can audit
Each mention and citation traces back to a stored answer.
- 01
Mentions are evidenced
An analysis model finds your brand in the answer and saves the sentence that mentions it.
- 02
Citations matched to your domain
A citation counts when a cited URL belongs to your website.
- 03
Positions recorded
When an answer lists options, each brand's rank in that list is saved.
- 04
Failed runs excluded
Counts use completed runs only, so an unreachable engine never looks like a drop.

A mention is the AI naming your brand in its answer. A citation is the AI referencing your domain as a source behind that answer. You can have one without the other, so Gensiv counts them separately.
