Is your business the source AI
names?
Or is it a competitor?
Less Noise. More Revenue.

Ranking position tells you where you appear in a
list. Citation Share tells you whether AI
recommends you.
What The Snapshot Covers

The Citation Share Snapshot is a human-delivered written report. Not an automated score. Not a dashboard access request.

Common Questions
What people ask before claiming the Snapshot
What is Citation Share?Citation Share is the proportion of AI-generated search answers in your target query set where your business is named as the authoritative source. When Google generates an AI Overview it cites specific sources as linked cards within the answer. Citation Share measures how often your business is the source cited rather than a competitor. Most businesses have a Citation Share of zero for their most commercially important queries.
Is the Snapshot really free?Yes. No payment details. No trial that converts to a subscription. You submit your details and three queries, we deliver the report within 48 hours, and there is no obligation to take it further. If the Snapshot reveals gaps you want to close and you would like to discuss how, that conversation is available. If you just want the report, that is entirely fine too.
What do I need to submit?Your name, email address, business name and the three search queries most commercially important to your business. These should be the queries where appearing as the AI-cited source would have the most direct impact on customer decisions in your favour.
How is this different from using an AI visibility tool myself?Automated tools give you a score or a dashboard. The Citation Share Snapshot gives you a human analysis of why your business is absent, what the specific structural gaps are, and what to prioritise first. The tools tell you the number. The Snapshot tells you what to do about it. For a deeper look at how Citation Share works and why it matters, our LLM SEO servicecovers the full methodology.

What Citation Share means for your business
When a potential customer searches for what you do, Google increasingly generates a direct AI answer at the top of the results page. That answer names specific sources. It cites specific businesses. And it shapes decisions before a single link is clicked.Your Citation Share is the proportion of those AI-generated answers where your business is the source named. For most businesses, that number is zero. Not low. Zero. For their most commercially important queries, AI is answering on behalf of a competitor.
“Citation Share is the metric that captures your AI search visibility. Most businesses have a Citation Share of zero for their most important queries and have no idea. That is the gap the free Snapshot is designed to reveal.”

Which sectors do you work in?We work across legal, travel, hospitality and ecommerce. Our results have been achieved in competitive markets against globally recognised publishers. Informational and research queries in these sectors trigger AI-generated answers most frequently, which means Citation Share is already the primary visibility battleground rather than ranking position. For law firms, where institutional credentials such as Chambers rankings and Law Society membership create a specific set of AI search challenges, we offer a dedicated AI search service for law firms built around those sector requirements.
