    Perplexity is one of six platforms checked separately.

    Each saved answer keeps its own platform and check date, so a mention in one is never counted as visibility in another.

    Read the saved Perplexity response and open the pages returned as citations. See whether the answer draws on your website, a competitor’s page or a third-party source.

    Is a brand mention the same as a citation?

    No. Perplexity may name a business without citing its website, or cite a page without recommending the business behind it. outwrite.ai shows the saved answer and source links separately.

    Can I see the specific pages Perplexity cited?

    Yes. When sources are returned, the answer view lists their URLs. You can inspect them to understand which content supported that checked answer.

    Does a citation tell me how much traffic I received?

    No. A citation is an observation in an answer. Use your website analytics for visits and Search Console for Google search performance.

    Can I include Perplexity answers in a client report?

    Yes. Pro supports shared AI visibility reports and optional prompt and answer details. You choose which details are exposed. Simple and Pro both support branded PDF reports.
