The Perplexity Citation Tracker asks Perplexity your prompt and shows you the answer. It lists every URL that Perplexity cites, in the order Perplexity gives them. Add your domain and the tracker tells you whether Perplexity cites your site and at which position. Add your brand name and the tracker tells you whether the answer names your brand without a link.
Every check sends your prompt to Perplexity through our AI search data provider. We show the answer and the citations exactly as they come back. Nothing is estimated or simulated. The tracker also counts the citations per domain, so you can see which sites Perplexity relies on for your topic.
Perplexity answers vary between runs. The same prompt can cite different sources an hour later, so one check is one sample. Run the prompt again over a few weeks to see the pattern. To follow your prompts over time, track them in Rankwise. Rankwise asks them in Perplexity every week. It also tracks them in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

A Perplexity citation tracker is a tool that records which sources Perplexity cites in its answers. This tracker asks Perplexity your prompt and lists every cited URL in order. It also tells you whether your domain is among the citations and at which position.
Start with the prompts your buyers ask. Ask each prompt in Perplexity and record the cited URLs and their positions. Count how often your domain appears. Repeat the check every week, because answers vary between runs. This tool runs one check per prompt for free. Rankwise runs the weekly checks for you and turns them into a citation rate.
Yes. You can check prompts without an account. We save each answer for 24 hours, so a repeat check of the same prompt and country is instant. To keep the tool free for everyone, each visitor can ask 10 new prompts per hour.
Each check sends your prompt to Perplexity's API through our AI search data provider. The result names the Perplexity model that answered. We show the answer text and the citations exactly as Perplexity returns them. We never estimate or simulate a result.
Perplexity answers vary between runs, even for the same prompt. The perplexity.ai app can also use other models, your past searches and your location. This tool asks the prompt through the API with no history, so it shows a clean answer. Ask the prompt more than once to see which sources keep coming back.
Perplexity wrote your brand name in the answer but did not link to your site. Buyers still read your name. You lose the click and the source credit. A page that answers the question directly near the top has a better chance to earn the citation.
Perplexity cites pages that its search can find and read. Let PerplexityBot crawl your site, and answer the question in the first paragraph of the page. Keep your facts and dates current. Then look at the most-cited domains in your result. They show the kind of page that Perplexity trusts for the prompt.
AI visibility tools ask your prompts on a schedule and store every answer. Rankwise asks your prompts in Perplexity every week. It also tracks them in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. It shows when you gain or lose a citation, and which sites the engines cite instead.
