How to know whether AI mentions you
The most direct way is to periodically ask each AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) a fixed set of questions, see whether your project is mentioned and whether it links to you, and screenshot it into a time series. Combine that with your site analytics for referrals from AI platforms and the trend becomes visible.
- Fix a set of real buyer questions and re-test each AI monthly.
- Record: mentioned or not, linked or not, exact wording — with screenshots.
- Watch GA4 for real referrals from ChatGPT/Perplexity and others.
- Read the trend, not a single result — citation builds gradually.
