The challenge

Why Perplexity citations need their own tracker

The data gaps that hide citation movement.

Perplexity citations move fast

Perplexity refreshes its source set frequently. Without continuous tracking you miss when you're added or dropped from the cited list.

Citation position matters

Being cited isn't enough — where you appear in the cited set affects click-through. Most tools don't capture position.

Competitor visibility is opaque

Without per-prompt SoV, you can't see which competitor wins the prompts you should.

The solution
