How to track ChatGPT and Perplexity citation rates for local businesses without changing code or CMS
Local businesses can track ChatGPT and Perplexity citations through recorded buyer-question checks without editing their website code or CMS. PressGEO also hosts source-linked Answer Pages off-site, so publication and measurement can happen separately from a website redesign.
A citation rate applies to the questions and engines checked, not to every possible search. Compare unchanged question-and-engine groups, and distinguish unprompted buyer questions from questions that already name the business. Record crawler visits and published assets separately; neither proves a citation. Customer press releases require approval, and recommendations are not guaranteed.
