Glossy Data

AI citation tracking for publishers

See how often AI cites your journalism.

For a publisher, the question is not “are we recommended?” but “are we cited, for which stories, and who is cited instead?”. Glossy Data records every citation in every answer it collects.

Every citation, from every answer.

For the topics you cover, we ask each engine the questions readers ask and record which domains and URLs it cites, and which rival domains are cited for the same questions.

Google AI Mode and Overviews, measured separately.

Each engine cites differently, so we keep them apart. AI Overviews and AI Mode are measured as two engines, and every number is labelled with where it came from.

Make sure AI can read you before you measure.

Publishers often block AI crawlers by default, sometimes without meaning to block the search crawlers that decide citations. Check with the free AI crawler checker.

  • Search, training and user-triggered bots, checked separately

Topic questions readers ask AI

  • “how to start investing”
  • “what's the latest on rate cuts”
  • “best budget smartphones this year”
  • “is it safe to travel to Lisbon in August”
  • “how do heat pumps work”
  • “who won the election in Ontario”

Questions people ask

Yes. Every citation is recorded with its domain and URL, per engine and question.

No. They cite differently, so we measure them as two engines and label every number with where it came from.

Blocking training-only bots such as Google-Extended or GPTBot is a separate choice from blocking search bots such as OAI-SearchBot or Googlebot, which decide whether you can be cited. Check each one before you change anything.
