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 another market player'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.

Who gets cited when AI engines answer questions about your market?
AI answer engines quote specific pages, not brands in the abstract — so some site in your space is winning that citation on every prompt where you are not. Most companies have no visibility into which outside sources are actually being cited instead of their own.
How does it work?
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.
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).
See the gap
Where another market player is cited and you are not for the same prompt, so you know which outside sources to pursue first.
What you do, what Leadee does
Leadee reads your public pages and reports what it finds — audits, tracking, citation graphs and fix plans. Leadee never changes your website: fixes are done by your own team, or by Leadee Experts on request.

The exact pages cited, not just the domain, so you can see what specific content is winning the citation.
Market player gap analysis
Prompts where another market player is cited and your brand is not, ranked by how often the gap occurs.
Feeds Fix plans

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.

Questions
Which AI engines does this cover?
Leadee measures ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode today, 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 another market player, not just myself?
Yes — any brand in your tracked prompt set, including other market players 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.
