Everything you need to understand your brand's footprint in Perplexity
Perplexity Citation Tracking
Perplexity is built around citations - every response ships with sources, which makes it unusually readable as a signal for AI visibility. Track which URLs it surfaces for your key prompts, see whether your site is in the mix, and watch how the citation set evolves over time.
Map Perplexity's source selection
Perplexity searches the web on every query. Map the sources it reaches for, find out which domains it consistently trusts for your topic area, and work out what it takes to get your content into that source set - rather than watching a competitor get the citation.
Perplexity Visibility Dashboards
Chart your citation presence in Perplexity over time. Visualise which domains appear most often, track how your brand mentions trend, and compare your standing against competitors - both as a snapshot and across the longer run.
Export and Database Integration
Schedule regular exports of your Perplexity citation data to CSV or Excel. Or connect Archytas AISpy's SQLite database into your broader analytics workflow - useful if you're building citation-share reporting for clients.
Scheduling
Perplexity's source selection can shift quickly as the web changes and the model updates. Set up automated tracking on a daily, weekly or custom schedule so you always have a current view of who's being cited - without having to remember to check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to enable web search separately for Perplexity tracking?
No - web search is baked into Perplexity by design. It's closer to a traditional search engine with an AI layer on top, rather than an LLM that can search the web if needs be. Every response includes live citations, so you'll get source data on every tracked prompt without any extra configuration.
How does Perplexity citation tracking differ from ChatGPT or Gemini?
The biggest difference is consistency. Perplexity always returns explicit citations - it's core to how the product works. ChatGPT and Gemini may or may not surface sources depending on whether web search is enabled and how the response is generated.
Can I track which domains Perplexity is citing for my branded queries?
Yes - that's one of the core things Archytas AISpy does. For every tracked prompt, it captures the domains Perplexity cites so you can see who's appearing consistently, who's dropped out, and which competitors are getting the mentions you'd rather have.
How often does Perplexity's source selection change over time?
More often than you might expect. Perplexity searches the live web on every query, so its citation set can shift as new content is published, old content falls out of favour, or the underlying model is updated. That's exactly the kind of drift that scheduled tracking in Archytas AISpy is designed to catch.
