This is not local NAP citation building
Worth saying plainly, because the phrase is contested. Most pages ranking for "citation building" sell local SEO directory work: getting a business name, address and phone number listed consistently across Yelp, Apple Maps and data aggregators, for map-pack rankings.
That is a real discipline and it is not this one. AI citation building means becoming a source that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity draw on when answering a buyer question. No address involved, no map pack, different work entirely.
What actually earns an AI citation?
A model quotes a passage because it answers the question better than the alternatives in front of it. That is the whole mechanism, and it rules out most of what gets sold.
- First-hand specificity. "It took three weeks and the import choked above 50k rows" is citable. "Industry-leading performance" is not.
- Question-shaped source material. Threads, documentation and comparisons that map onto what someone is actually asking.
- Independence. A third party describing you carries weight your own page cannot.
- Durability. A good thread answer keeps being read for years, which is why shortcuts that get removed cost more than they appear to.
What we will not do
| Tactic | Why not |
|---|---|
| Aged or purchased accounts | Against Reddit's terms; removal takes the citation with it |
| Coordinated upvoting | Vote manipulation, detectable, and it risks the account |
| Undisclosed employee comments | Removed on discovery, and the reputational cost lands publicly |
| Guaranteed citation counts | Nobody controls what a model says |
Every reply we draft is reviewed by you and posted from your own account, disclosed as you. We do not operate accounts on your behalf and we do not touch upvotes. The reasoning is in Reddit marketing for AI search visibility.
How is it measured?
Against a fixed query set, recorded per check including the runs where nobody mentions you, compared per engine rather than as a single blended number.
The test that matters: ask any vendor what their tool does when a model replies that it has never heard of the brand. That sentence contains the brand name, so a substring match scores the clearest proof of invisibility as a success. We shipped exactly that bug and it inflated two reports before we found it.
Measuring AI citation ROI covers attribution once the number starts moving.
