Citebench
Weekly Brand Mention and Citation rates by category across ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
What the Index measures
One composite score from a fixed query pool — comparable week to week.
Mention
Share of Core answers that name the brand.
Citation
Share of answers that link the brand’s domain.
Index
0.4×Mention + 0.6×Citation
Citation weighs more — talk is cheaper than being the source.
