AI citation audit
See when AI answers cite your website. Get evidence-backed next steps when they do not.
CiteLens checks the same unbranded buyer questions across the AI services included in your plan. It matches citation results to the returned source URLs, shows which sources appeared instead, and turns the completed findings into prioritised next steps.
Guest and Free audits use Perplexity Sonar Pro. Starter, Pro and Agency also use Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite, OpenAI GPT-5.1, DeepSeek V3.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 and check Google AI Overviews when available. When an audit has enough verified evidence, you can create a saved action plan with suggested JSON-LD and llms.txt drafts.
Run the auditWhat the report gives you
See every tested question where your domain appeared, its citation position, and the AI service that returned it. When your website is absent, the report shows the domains and source links cited instead.
Every citation result keeps the question and returned sources behind it. Paid action plans link each recommendation to the finding that prompted it. Signed-in accounts keep past audits so you can compare the same domain over time.
What happens after you enter a URL
- Page findings appear first while citation testing continues.
- Citation results arrive as they are confirmed.
- The completed report adds citation positions, content and crawler findings. When a paid audit has enough verified evidence, you can create a saved, prioritised action plan.
- Sign in to save the baseline and compare future results.
See the evidence behind the score
A report includes the questions, usable answers, citation positions, sources returned when the audited domain was absent, completion status, crawler diagnostics, SEO/GEO/AEO findings, and exports. CiteLens scores are its own indicators and are not endorsed by any AI or search service.
The reference board is from a real CiteLens run on 26 July 2026 against ShiftNode Digital's site. It used fifteen unbranded questions about AI transformation in industrial B2B. The table shows the five domains that appeared most often. One test can return several sources, so source appearances and tests with citations are different counts.
| Domain | Source appearances |
|---|---|
| linkedin.com | 6 |
| blog.hubspot.com | 4 |
| windmillstrategy.com | 4 |
| forbes.com | 3 |
| bluecorona.com | 2 |
