URL Report

Inspect citations associated with a URL target and understand the current Beta matching limitations.

View as Markdown

Open Reports → URL Report. This Beta workflow saves a target for examining recorded citation evidence; it is not a crawl, live search-ranking check, or traffic report.

Choose a target

The entry screen offers Match mode, Terms (comma-separated for OR), Only my domain, and Run report. Match-mode choices include URL (exact), URL contains, Path contains, Host, Host or subdomain, and Domain.

The current result view does not consistently honor every entry option. Use a single full URL or hostname and verify the supporting evidence before relying on the result. Do not rely on exact-URL, multi-term OR, cross-project, or subdomain-mode isolation in this Beta view.

For a conservative investigation:

  1. Confirm the active project.
  2. Enter one known cited URL or hostname.
  3. Select Run report only when you intend to save a report target.
  4. Inspect the resulting Prompt evidence and compare with Citations.

The current result matching uses the first saved term, matches its normalized host, and, when a path is present, uses a path prefix. A target ending in /guide can therefore include longer paths beginning with /guide; the URL (exact) label should not be interpreted as strict equality in the result view.

Read the result

  • AI citations: matching citation occurrences across citing responses.
  • Citation rate: responses with a matching citation divided by loaded responses for the active project.
  • Brand mentions: citing responses that also mention your brand.
  • Brand sentiment: the most common sentiment label among citing responses; the current summary groups unknown/empty labels with neutral.
  • Prompt evidence: the prompts, models, dates, positions, and mention/sentiment information supporting the result.

The report does not apply the broader scope implied by every entry setting. Use evidence rows, not a selected mode alone, to establish what was included.

Saved reports and limitations

Use View saved URL reports or History to return to saved targets. Refresh updates the saved target; Delete removes it. Neither should be used during a read-only review.

Suggested URLs currently come from saved targets rather than a verified ranking of the most-cited URLs. The Owned badge and “last 90 days” suggestion label should not be used as independent proof of ownership or recency.

Troubleshooting

  • A path includes more pages than expected: verify the prefix-matching behavior above.
  • Several terms do not produce the expected union: investigate each term separately or use Citations filters.
  • No evidence appears: confirm the active project has captured citations for the target.
  • Sentiment says neutral: inspect the underlying classifications; unknown entries may be included.
