The pages that link to you and name you. The pages that write about you without linking. Where you rank, where Google's AI Overview references you, and which inbound links point at dead pages. One scan — with the sentence that proves every row.
Most tools hand you a score and ask for trust. Citation Radar hands you the sentence, the source, the authority figure, and the warnings — and lets you judge in seconds. Junk self-identifies; real coverage stands out; nothing is hidden.
Every citation shows the sentence around your name. Every mention excerpts the exact passage that names you, brand in bold. Every excluded row stays visible with its reason. Nothing is silently discarded, nothing is invented, and nothing asks to be taken on faith.
When a result deserves scepticism — no measured authority, no link found, a domain that no longer answers — the card says so in red, right where you're reading. Two or more warnings paint the border red. The row stays; the judgment call is yours.
Citation Radar reports citations as counts you can verify row by row — never a "citation rate". Percentages measure link style, not coverage quality, and would flatter some brands and slander others for reasons that have nothing to do with real presence.
Each scan runs independently and is priced in credits — from a single scan at 5 credits to the All-in-One Scan, covering every source, at 15.
Who links to you and names you. Each card shows the domain, its authority (DR), how you were named, and the sentence itself. Filtered rows go to Excluded with their reason — footer links, bare URLs, "click here" anchors, link networks.
5 CREDITSOrdered by estimated traffic, not raw volume — so page-eight rankings for enormous terms don't bury the wins you can act on. Brand terms separated from non-brand, up to 500 rows per scan.
5 CREDITSPages that write about you without linking — deduplicated by content, so one article syndicated across twenty domains counts once. Every mention verifiably names you, excerpted with your name in bold.
10 CREDITSThe keywords where Google's AI Overview references your domain, across terms you already rank for. A deliberately different lens from the AI Visibility Tracker — different sampling frames, both true.
5 CREDITSThe two most-asked questions in one run, at a bundle price.
10 CREDITSThe complete picture in a single scan: citations, mentions, rankings, AI Overviews, broken inbound links, and own-property proposals.
15 CREDITSA mention card doesn't show the top of the page. It shows where your name occurs, in bold, with a count when a text names you repeatedly — a real article names you throughout; a coincidental match names you once. You see the difference instantly.
Pages that link to a URL on your site that no longer answers — the reader and the link equity both go nowhere. A short, actionable repair list.
SAMPLE DATA FOR ILLUSTRATION · YOUR SCAN SHOWS YOUR REAL ROWS, WITH THE EVIDENCE
These aren't disclaimers hidden in a footer. They're how the product earns your trust.
We show you what we cannot know.
Absence of a link in the index is reported as "no link found in index", never "unlinked" — the index may simply not have seen it yet. We describe the indexed web, not the whole web.
No sentiment scores.
Sentiment models disagreed wildly on identical text in our testing, so Citation Radar refuses to ship one. You get the sentence instead — a human reads tone better than a model scores it.
No vanity totals.
The inflated multi-million "total mentions" figures some tools display are text-matching artifacts. Citation Radar never displays them. Every count is a row you can open and read.
Runs your buyers' real questions across six AI engines — plus the LLM Mentions add-on, which reveals the domains your whole category's answers keep drawing from — and reports, per prompt, whether you're cited, mentioned, or absent, and which competitor pages win instead.
Maps your presence across the indexed web — the citations, mentions, and rankings that answer engines draw from — with the evidence shown on every row.
Both sit beside Page GEO Optimization in one suite — audit a page, measure its AI visibility, and map its web presence without leaving the product. The AI Overview data in each answers a different question by design; neither is a correction of the other.
Where your brand appears on the indexed web: pages that link to you and name you, pages that write about you without linking, your search rankings ordered by estimated traffic, the keywords where Google's AI Overview references your domain, and inbound links pointing at dead pages on your site. Every row carries its evidence — the sentence that names you — plus measured warnings where a result deserves scepticism.
No — it covers the indexed web, and says so. Absence of a link is reported as "no link found in index", never "unlinked", because the index may simply not have seen it yet.
Yes. Every mention must verifiably name your brand (or a confirmed alias) in the returned text, and syndicated copies are deduplicated so one article across twenty domains counts once. Rows that fail verification go to the Excluded tab with the reason shown — nothing is silently discarded.
No. Sentiment models disagreed wildly on identical text in testing, so Citation Radar refuses to ship one. You get the sentence itself instead — a human reads tone better than a model scores it.
Every source in a single scan — citations, mentions, rankings, AI Overviews, broken inbound links, and own-property proposals — for 15 credits. The five individual scans run from 5 credits each.
The Tracker measures how visible you are inside AI answers; Citation Radar measures how visible you are on the web those AIs learn from. Their AI Overview data answers different questions by design — different sampling frames, both true, neither a correction of the other.
Six scans from 5 credits. The All-in-One Scan for 15. Every row with its evidence.
