URL Metrics
On the URL page, you will see key metrics such as Retrievals and Citation Rate.Retrievals
Retrievals is the total number of times a URL was used as a source, regardless of whether it was cited directly in the AI’s main answer. This metric indicates which URLs are most popular and most credible to AI models. Retrievals over your selected timespan are calculated as:Retrievals (URLs) = Total responses where URL was used as a source
Citation Rate
Citation Rate measures the average number of times a specific source is explicitly cited within AI responses over the last 7 days. This metric indicates how often AI models find your content relevant enough to reference multiple times. Multiple citations in a single response indicate that AI models find your content highly relevant and trustworthy for the topic being discussed. The citation rate is calculated over your selected timespan as:Citation Rate (URLs) = Total citations of that URL / Total responses where URL was used as a source
