AI Citation Checker aggregates cited domains across answer engines and Google AI Overviews. It does not compute an Answer-Engine Visibility score — that lives on separate suite Tools.
How the check works
We send each topic as an exact query to Perplexity and ChatGPT with search, collect cited_sources from model APIs, and pull Google AI Overview citation domains via DataForSEO. Results become per-topic leaderboards, a cross-topic Top 10, URL detail, and an insight line. Model-API citations can differ from consumer ChatGPT Search and Perplexity products.
What to do next
Prioritize topics where you are not cited and the Top 10 domains look like digital-PR targets. Pair with AI Overview Checker for AIO triggers, AI Visibility Score for mention visibility, and Lost Traffic to AI Overviews for click impact.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to run this check?
No. On-screen results are free and public. Email is only required to export a PDF.
Is this the same as Answer-Engine Visibility?
No. This Tool ranks citation domains and URLs. Visibility Tools measure whether answer engines mention your brand across prompts.
Why disclose model APIs?
Perplexity and ChatGPT citations come from model APIs, which can differ from the consumer Perplexity and ChatGPT Search products. Google AI Overview citations come from live SERP data.
How long are results cached?
Identical topic list and domain inputs reuse a 24-hour cache so reloads stay fast and free.
