Why do AI engines cite my competitors, not me?
Compares your pages against the sources AI answer engines actually quote for your topics, and names the structural gap.
What this checks
Compares your pages against the sources AI answer engines actually quote for your topics, and names the structural gap — not just a citation count.
When to ask this
Best once you have at least one AI-visibility measurement on file — useful across Some Traction and Heavy Traction stages. This is a live diagnosis over your own data, not a static report, so there's nothing to check before you've been measured at least once.
When this refuses
Needs at least one AI-visibility measurement to have anything to compare against. And like every "why" question here, naming a structural cause — not just describing the gap it can see once — needs at least two independent readings over time.
How to ask it in chat
"Why do AI engines cite my competitors instead of me?"
What you'll get back
A direct answer computed from measurements already on file — no extra cost, no new data is purchased to answer this.
Why did my rankings drop?
Checks what moved in the results themselves — who overtook you and on which pages — instead of just restating your new positions.
Why do some engines cite us and others ignore us?
Compares what each engine did on the same prompts, and separates an engine that disagreed from one that never answered.
