What is AI Site Monitoring?

AI Site Monitoring provides visibility into which sites and URLs are referenced within LLM-generated search results. Extracting and analysing citations at scale displays how often your own and competitors’ domains are referenced as supporting sources. This insight enables users to benchmark site presence, track citation trends, and refine strategies to strengthen visibility and influence in emerging LLM search formats—closing a critical blind spot in modern search intelligence.
