Citation Rate

The short answer

Citation rate is how often a page or domain gets named as a source across a set of AI-generated answers, usually tracked as a percentage over a batch of test questions.

Tracking this over time — by asking the same panel of buyer questions on a recurring schedule — turns AI visibility from a one-time check into a measurable trend, the same way rank tracking works for traditional SEO.
