When potential customers ask AI search engines for product recommendations, being the #1 cited source drives high-intent conversions. Here is how multi-model citation tracking works and how to monitor your brand's AI Share-of-Voice (SoV).

How Different AI Models Select Citations

Perplexity Sonar

Real-time web indexing engine. Prioritizes fresh documentation, structured pricing, and fast-responding servers.

ChatGPT (GPT-4o)

Generates comparative summaries by evaluating Schema.org JSON-LD structured data and authoritative customer reviews.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet

Google Gemini 2.0

Measuring Brand Share-of-Voice (SoV)

AI Share-of-Voice is calculated by tracking a cluster of 25–100 commercial buyer queries (e.g., "Best project management software for startups") across multiple models on a recurring schedule and computing the percentage of queries where your domain is cited in the top 3 footnotes.
