Be the source, not the casualty
Get your content cited by AI not replaced by it
AI engines are answering the questions your articles used to get clicks for. LLM Metrix shows you which of your content is being cited as a source, and exactly how to turn your editorial archive into an AI citation engine.

AI engines tracked
measuring citations across all major models
Search ↔ AI
Coverage gap
articles Google ranks that no engine cites
When AI answers skip the byline
Engines summarise the story without citing the masthead that reported it.
The challenge
Organic traffic declining as AI answers replace your articles
The solution
Become the source engines cite, and measure the visits those citations send you, with the referral tag on your pages
The challenge
No insight into which articles are being used by AI vs. ignored
The solution
Citations recorded per article on the engines that return source links, and per domain everywhere else
The challenge
Editorial strategy based on Google signals that no longer predict AI citation
The solution
Content recommendations based on what AI engines actually reward: structure, entity clarity, and directness

Measure citation share, then fix pages
Prompt sets for topical authority, citation maps, and structural briefs.
- 01
Connect your publication
Add your domain and the queries your niche asks. They become your tracked prompts, and every scan puts them to the engines.
- 02
Track article citations
Scheduled scans record every time an AI engine cites one of your articles: the engine, the prompt it was answering, and the URL on the engines that return source links.
- 03
Identify citation patterns
See which of your URLs are cited, by which engine, for which prompts. Repeatedly-cited pages are the ones being retrieved from. Which section did the work is a read you make from the page, not a figure we measure.
- 04
Optimise your editorial pipeline
Apply citation-oriented structure to new and existing content, and watch total citations and how many point at your own archive move scan by scan.
Publisher monitoring kit
Citations, multi-engine coverage, recommendations, and competitor context.
Article-level citation tracking
See which of your articles engines cite, on which engine and for which query, down to the URL on the engines that return source links. Connect Google Search Console and the Search page adds the other half: articles that rank in Google but no engine cites.
Citation volume trends
Watch total citations, distinct cited domains and how many point at your own archive move scan over scan.
Content structure recommendations
Prioritised briefs for the queries your archive is missing (direct-answer structure, which schema to add, which entities to name), each with a rationale and the engines it targets.
Competitor citation benchmarking
The third-party domains engines cite for your prompts, ranked by frequency. Rival publications appear here as sources, and the list records which source won rather than why.
New citation alerts
See it after a scan when an engine starts citing a domain it was not citing before (including the first time one cites yours) in your digest, on the dashboard, or over webhook.
Publication visibility score
Mention rate, answer position and sentiment across every engine in one 0–100 number. Citation counts are tracked alongside it, not inside it.
