AI Citation

/ˌeɪ.aɪ saɪˈteɪ.ʃən/ noun

A reference to your brand, product, or content inside an AI-generated response from platforms such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude. AI citations can include direct links (cited citations) or brand name mentions without links (uncited mentions). Both signal AI visibility and influence buyer perception before a Google search is ever made.
