Sample AI search report

What a CiteRank AI search report actually gives you.

This sample shows the shape of the paid report: buyer-question evidence, competitor mentions, real citation data, answer-source gaps, cited sources, and prioritized next steps. It uses Image3D as an in-progress case, not as a completed success story.

Executive scorecard

One case can have two truths.

0 / 120
Brand visibility

Image3D did not appear in the controlled broad buyer-question test.

196
Real AI citations

Microsoft Clarity showed Image3D pages cited by AI systems in the latest 30-day evidence window.

25.86%
Share of Authority

Image3D owned a meaningful share of visible Copilot-partner citations for the observed queries.

0.086%
AI referral traffic

The citation layer exists, but click-through and conversion still need work.

Image3D already receives real AI citations and ChatGPT-attributed users, but it still misses broad controlled buyer questions. The latest 30-day Clarity export shows 196 AI page citations and 0.086% AI referral traffic, so the report explains both signals instead of pretending one number tells the whole story.
Operating loop

The report is structured so execution can start immediately.

Brand fact base

What Image3D does, who it serves, supported formats, pricing hooks, proof, and competitors.

Prevents every page, outreach draft, and answer-source brief from drifting.
Buyer-question library

20 broad buyer questions plus Clarity grounding queries and real user questions when available.

Keeps the test stable enough to compare before and after execution.
Cited-source list

Pages and third-party sources AI systems cite, with relevance, neutrality, contact path, and risk.

Turns vague link building into a ranked source list.
Next-step list

Owned-page fixes, FAQ additions, source submissions, outreach drafts, and weekly checkpoints.

Makes the report actionable immediately.

Which pages AI systems already cite

Cited page

Recommended action
/image-to-stl-generator/
50
Commercial page has the strongest citation demand. It needs tighter Answer + Action copy and upload-start tracking.
/viewer/
48
Free viewer is highly visible. It needs post-file-open paths into generation and STL conversion.
/image-to-stl/
36
Guide page is being cited. It needs stronger bridge to the generator and paid quality tiers.
/
29
Homepage still contributes citations, but specific task pages are stronger action sources.
/canva-to-3d/
12
Canva workflow is visible. It needs clearer PNG/JPG export positioning and licensing caution.

Monitoring freshness

A visibility report should say whether its scans are fresh.

CiteRank does not treat a monitoring screen as proof by itself. The report includes a monitoring status block that shows when the latest scan ran, which platforms succeeded, which providers failed, and what needs to happen before the next recheck can be trusted.

Example scan state
Live with platform errors
partial
Freshness
Last scan timestamp

Shows whether the evidence is current enough to trust.

Coverage
Successful rows by platform

Separates usable platforms from failed providers instead of hiding errors.

Errors
Latest failed rows and reason

Makes API-key, cron, or provider problems visible before the report is interpreted.

Recheck
Next weekly checkpoints

Keeps the question set stable so progress can be measured after execution.

Recheck plan

The report is only useful if it can be checked again.

Every paid service includes weekly recheck dates. The buyer-question set stays stable so the customer can see whether the execution changed the answer surface.

Checkpoint 1
Week 1 recheck

Re-run the same question set, compare competitor mentions, and update the next steps.

Checkpoint 2
Week 2 recheck

Re-run the same question set, compare competitor mentions, and update the next steps.

Checkpoint 3
Week 4 recheck

Re-run the same question set, compare competitor mentions, and update the next steps.

What this sample does not claim

This sample does not claim that CiteRank controls AI recommendations. It shows how a customer receives practical evidence, competitor context, real citation data, and next steps that can be checked again. That is the product customers can buy today.
