Checking your business, understanding an answer, and getting back to your dashboard.
It checks whether AI answers link to your website, mention your business, or leave you out. Weekly tracking repeats the questions you choose so you can see changes over time.
Use something a potential customer would ask before they know your name: “best invoicing software for freelancers,” for example. Keep it relevant to what you sell. Including your name mostly tests whether AI repeats a name it was given.
AI answers vary between runs and engines. A single check is a snapshot, not a stable ranking. Compare repeated checks before drawing conclusions.
Linked means the answer points to a page on your site. Mentioned means it says your business name without a link to your site. Those are different outcomes, so CiteRank keeps them separate.
Queued means a check is waiting. Not asked means there is no run yet. Could not ask means the engine did not answer. None of those means your business was absent from an answer.
No. It measures what the engines say and who they cite. It does not place your business in answers or guarantee recommendations.
