LLM citations

The footnotes models show. Density varies wildly by product. Treat them as a different currency per engine.

A citation can be a gift (traffic) or a misattribution (they quoted you wrong).

Log the URL, not just “we were cited.”

Examples

Claude cites a PDF. Your HTML guide was better. Put the facts in both or redirect.

Citation rate is the share of tracked prompts where an engine attaches a link to your domain.

A ghost citation is when an AI answer names your brand but does not link you. You got the shout, not the click.

The habit of pointing at URLs. Product-dependent. When it’s on, it’s your traffic and your accountability.

Can I force a citation format? +

No. You can make a stable, descriptive URL and a clear title.
