Cited by AI answer engines

In the week of Oct 11, 2026, b/cited asked OpenAI (gpt-4.1-mini), Anthropic (claude-sonnet-4-6) and Perplexity (sonar) 5 email marketing buying questions and recorded which sites each answer cited. 15 of 15 prompt-and-engine pairs completed.

This is engine output, not a scanner score. A citation is not a recommendation or an endorsement, and the prompts are a sample, not a census. Counts are out of the prompts each engine actually answered that week.

How scores are calculated

Each site is scanned for 30+ signals across nine categories: indexing, metadata, social cards, structured data, AEO (llms.txt, ai.txt, AI crawler stance, FAQ/HowTo schema), international, mobile, security headers, and Core Web Vitals.

The AEO score weights the signals that specifically influence whether AI engines can cite a page — llms.txt presence, AI crawler allowance in robots.txt, and citation-friendly structured data like FAQPage and Author schema.
