Free AI Citation Tracker
An AI citation tracker shows which web pages AI engines cite when they answer a question, and whether your site is one of them. Enter your domain: this one asks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Perplexity, finds the pages AI cites, and opens each one.

What you get
Every cited page, not just domains
Each page ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Perplexity linked to, with the engines and questions that cite it. Pages cited by more than one engine come first.
Who's on each page
We open every cited page (up to 60 per check) and check whether your brand is on it and which competitors are. A list that names three rivals and not you is your next outreach target.
Where it ranks in Google
Each cited page's position in Google's top 10 for the same question, or its site's when Google doesn't say which page.
Nothing behind a signup
Every page, every engine, on this page. Get the same questions re-checked free after 7 and 14 days by email, if you want to.

Every cited page is opened
Up to 60 pages: who's on each, what type of page it is, and where it ranks in Google for the same question. Usually about a minute end to end.
Perplexity citations come from its Sonar API, ChatGPT's from its web interface with search on, and both Google surfaces from Google's own answers. An answer that fails to load is reported as such and never counted as “not cited”.
LLM citations vs mentions
A citation is a page an AI answer links to as its source. A mention is your brand's name in the text. They come apart all the time: an answer can name you while linking a G2 list, or use your page and recommend a competitor.
Citations show where an engine gets its information, which makes them the part you can act on: get onto the pages it cites, or make your own page the one it cites. To see mentions (who the answers name and recommend), use the free AI visibility checker. For tracking brand mentions over time, see how to track brand mentions in AI search.

Why your citations change
AI engines search again for every answer, so the pages they cite move from day to day. GetMentions tracked 2,398 queries daily for a week in June 2026: the median day-over-day citation churn was 82% on ChatGPT, 78% on Google AI Mode and 43% on Perplexity, and only 0.4% to 11.1% of sources were cited on all 7 days.
Our own re-run agrees. We asked the same 50 questions 2.6 days apart: 14-18% of the pages Google's AI cited for a question were cited again, and 40-44% on ChatGPT. Pages cited by two or more engines held up, coming back 77-91% of the time. That's why this tracker lists those pages first.
One check is a snapshot. The free re-checks run your questions again after 7 and 14 days and email you which cited pages are new or gone. To track these prompts daily, with an action for every source, use RankScope.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI citation tracker?
An AI citation tracker shows which web pages AI engines cite when they answer a question, and whether your site is one of them. This one asks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Perplexity three buyer questions about your category, lists every page the answers link to, and opens each page to see whether your brand and your competitors are on it. Re-running the same questions over time is what makes it tracking: the free re-checks run after 7 and 14 days.
What's the difference between an AI citation and a mention?
A citation is a page an AI answer links to as a source. A mention is your brand's name in the answer's text. You can be mentioned without being cited (the answer names you but links to a review site), and cited without being mentioned (it uses your page but recommends someone else). The citation tracker reports citations; the AI visibility checker reports mentions.
What sources does ChatGPT use?
With web search on, ChatGPT searches the web and links the pages it drew on: vendors' own sites, review and comparison articles, directories, forums such as Reddit, and news. Which pages it uses depends on the question, and they change from day to day. Enter your domain above to see the pages ChatGPT cites for questions in your category.
How often do AI citations change?
Often. GetMentions tracked 2,398 queries daily for 7 days in June 2026 and found a median day-over-day citation churn of 82% on ChatGPT, 78% on Google AI Mode and 43% on Perplexity; only 0.4% to 11.1% of sources were cited on all 7 days. In our own re-run of 50 questions 2.6 days apart, 14-18% of the pages Google's AI cited for a question were cited again, while pages cited by two or more engines came back 77-91% of the time.
Is there a free AI citation tracker?
Yes. This one is free with no signup and covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Perplexity. Bing Webmaster Tools' AI Performance report counts your citations in Microsoft Copilot and Bing for a site you've verified. AIclicks' free tool runs ChatGPT only; in our test on 5 November 2026 its full source list opened only after signup.
How do I get cited by ChatGPT?

The tracker shows which cited pages you're missing from; our guide on how to get cited by ChatGPT covers the rest. How to get cited by ChatGPT →
