Questions about this

How is this different from a backlink checker?+
Backlink checkers count human-published links on the open web. AI citation checkers count machine-generated mentions inside LLM responses. The two correlate loosely but the LLM citation graph is its own ranking system in 2026.
Is the data live?+
Yes. We query the four engines at request time. ChatGPT and Perplexity are cited from current public APIs; Claude and Gemini citations are sampled via our citation-scan infrastructure.
Can I check competitor URLs?+
Yes. Run any public URL through the tool. Comparing your citation count to a top competitor is the fastest way to size the gap.
How do I improve my score?+
Three levers: (1) publish content in the structures LLMs prefer (clear answers, structured FAQ, schema markup), (2) earn citations on platforms LLMs trust (Reddit, Wikipedia, industry publications), (3) rebuild your entity graph so models recognize your brand. Our LLM SEO service handles all three.
Is the tool really free?+
Yes. Five checks per day per IP address, no signup. For unlimited checks, our retainer clients get this baked into their dashboard.
