Perplexity rank tracker

Track your citations, sources, and brand mentions in Perplexity

Perplexity has become one of the fastest-growing AI search engines, and it handles millions of queries every day. When someone asks it about your industry, Perplexity pulls from live sources and cites them directly in its answer. The question is: are you one of those sources? Rankability's Perplexity rank tracker monitors your brand's visibility across Perplexity search results automatically. Track citations, source URLs, mentions, and competitor presence over time — so you always know how Perplexity treats your brand.

Get started

Citation tracking

Perplexity cites its sources inline — linking directly to the pages it pulls information from. Reporter tracks every citation your domain earns, which specific pages Perplexity links to, and how your citation presence changes over time. If Perplexity stops citing your site for a keyword you care about, you'll know immediately.

Source URL monitoring

Not all citations are equal. Reporter records the exact source URLs Perplexity references for each keyword you track, so you can see which pages on your site earn citations and which don't. Use this data to optimize underperforming pages and double down on the ones Perplexity already trusts.

Mention tracking

Beyond citations, Perplexity often mentions brands by name in its responses without necessarily linking to them. Reporter captures every text mention of your brand — whether cited or not — and tracks your position within the response over time.

Competitor intelligence

Every scan captures all brands and sources Perplexity references in its response. See exactly who Perplexity recommends alongside you, spot competitors gaining citation share, and identify keywords where your competitors are cited but you aren't.

How it works

Add your keywords

Enter the search queries your customers are asking Perplexity. Reporter supports any keyword, question, or natural language query.

Set your scan schedule

Choose how often Reporter checks — daily, weekly, or a custom cadence. Scans run automatically in the background.

Get citation and visibility data

Each scan records your mentions, citations, source URLs, position, competitor brands, and a snippet of Perplexity's actual response. All data is tracked historically so you can measure trends.

Location-aware scanning

Perplexity uses live web search, which means results can vary by location. If you serve a local or regional market, Reporter appends your location context to every query so results reflect what customers in your area actually see when they search.

Citation history

A visual heatmap shows you which domains Perplexity cites for your keywords over time. See which competitors appear consistently, which are gaining ground, and how your own citation breadth is trending across scans.

Volatility alerts

When the sources Perplexity cites for your keywords suddenly shift, Reporter flags it. Catch citation drops before they affect your pipeline and act on new citation opportunities the moment they appear.

Track Perplexity source URLs over time

One of the most valuable things about Perplexity tracking is source-level data. Unlike other AI search engines that may only mention brands, Perplexity explicitly links to the pages it uses. Reporter captures every source URL for every keyword on every scan, letting you:

See which of your pages Perplexity trusts most
Identify pages that used to earn citations but stopped
Discover competitor pages that are consistently cited
Track how Perplexity's source preferences change over time
