AI citation reports · by Flowline

Flowline shows which placements AI answers cite.

Your story ran on your website, through a press release and on hundreds of syndicated sites. A Flowline report shows which of them AI answers cite, by engine and by outlet.

02 · Two ways to measure

A campaign report compares routes. A study shows what changed.

Both end in the same report. The difference is when measuring starts.

03 · Who it's for

Reports fit campaigns that come with a placement list.

Good fit

  • Syndicated story campaigns, with a placement report that lists every site that ran the story.
  • Agencies and distribution services that want a report to hand each client.
  • Brands and nonprofits that paid for distribution and want to see where it reached AI answers.
  • Campaigns with a press release on a wire service, measured beside the story.

Outside a report

  • Google AI Overviews. Reports cover ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Perplexity.
  • Campaigns with no placement report. A report needs the list of sites that ran the story.
  • Visibility scores and rankings. Reports give counts with their denominators.
  • Writing or distributing the story. Flowline measures campaigns. It does not run them.
