Domain citation rate

Domain citation rate is the percentage of sampled AI answers that include a link to your website domain.

Why it matters

A mention without a link still builds awareness; a citation sends traffic and gives assistants a verifiable source.

How Visus measures it

Visus Pro citation checks record cited URLs per query and compute how many answers linked your domain.

Example

Three of five answers link acme.com → 60% domain citation rate for that batch.

Common misconception

Links to third-party directories or Wikipedia are not your domain citation—even if they mention you.
