AI Citation Graph
The Citation Graph reads every Visibility Tracker run for your prompt set and ranks the domains and URLs that AI engines actually cited — then flags where a competitor's source wins a citation instead of yours. It turns "who gets cited in my niche" into a prioritised list of sources to be in.
How it works
- Step 1
Leadee reads your Tracker runs
Every citation an engine returns for your prompt set is captured as part of the normal Visibility Tracker run — no extra setup.
- Step 2
Domains and URLs get ranked
Citation Graph ranks which domains and pages are cited most often across your prompt set, and classifies each domain (review site, directory, news, forum and more).
- Step 3
See the gap
Where a competitor is cited and you are not for the same prompt, so you know which outside sources to pursue first.
What it measures
Domain ranking
Which domains AI engines cite most often across your prompt set, classified by type.
URL-level citations
The exact pages cited, not just the domain, so you can see what specific content is winning the citation.
Competitor gap analysis
Prompts where a competitor is cited and your brand is not, ranked by how often the gap occurs.
Feeds the Fix Engine
A citation gap is one of the evidence types the Fix Engine turns into a ticket automatically.
Who it's for
Manufacturers & industrial suppliers
Buyers now ask ChatGPT and Gemini for suppliers before they ever search Google — see whether your company comes up.
B2B companies & distributors
Logistics, distribution and engineering firms whose buyers research with AI long before they fill out a contact form.
Service businesses
Multi-location service companies — HVAC, repair, clinics — where "near me" questions increasingly go to an AI engine first.
Also used by SaaS teams and agencies that want the same measurement for themselves or their clients — see the Agency plan. See the Agency plan.
Run by your agents, approved by you
Leadee's Fix Engine and modules run in your workspace on a schedule or on request — reading data, drafting fix plans, opening tickets — but Leadee never changes your website: you apply a fix yourself, or ask Leadee Experts to do it.
Questions
Which AI engines does this cover?
Leadee measures ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Mode through their official APIs — never by scraping a consumer chat interface. Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot are planned once an official measurement API exists for them.
Does Citation Graph crawl the web on its own?
No — it is built entirely from the citations your own Visibility Tracker runs already collect from the AI engines' official APIs; it does not run a separate web crawl.
What counts as a "citation" versus a "mention"?
A mention is the engine naming a brand; a citation is the engine linking or naming a specific URL as its source. Citation Graph only tracks the latter.
Can I see citations for a competitor, not just myself?
Yes — any brand in your tracked prompt set, including competitors you added for comparison, shows up in the same domain and URL rankings.
Can GEO guarantee results?
No. AI answer engines change their output frequently, and no vendor — including Leadee — can guarantee a ranking or a mention. Leadee publishes confidence intervals on every metric so you can see how much a result can vary run to run.
How does Leadee measure AI visibility?
Leadee runs your prompt set against each AI engine on a weekly to daily schedule, depending on plan, through official vendor APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Anthropic, DataForSEO) — never by scraping consumer chat interfaces — and reports mention rate, citation rate, average position, share of voice and sentiment with a 95% confidence interval.
