Citation Authority
A measure of how frequently and reliably AI systems cite your content as a source when generating responses.
Understanding Citation Authority
Citation authority is the AI-era equivalent of domain authority. It reflects how trusted your content is by AI systems. Building citation authority requires consistently publishing accurate, well-structured content that AI systems can verify and reference. High citation authority means your brand becomes a go-to source for AI-generated recommendations and information.
