How do I check whether AI assistants cite my site?

Sample the prompts your buyers ask across each assistant and extract the cited domains — manually for a quick read, or with a fixed panel and repeated sampling for a trustworthy one.

Why does Perplexity cite so much more than ChatGPT?

Perplexity is retrieval-first by design: it grounds nearly every answer in live sources, while chat-first assistants cite selectively to anchor specific factual claims.

Do citations influence future recommendations?

The benchmark evidence is consistent with compounding: cited brands are more likely to be retrieved and recommended in subsequent quarters — authority accrues to the entity, not just the page.
