Track the right fields
Record brand mentioned, position in answer, cited URL, competitors mentioned, and whether the answer describes your product correctly. Perplexity citations reveal source URLs clearly. Gemini is useful for conservative brand understanding. ChatGPT is useful for broad buyer-language prompts.
Fix missing mentions at the source
If your brand is missing, do not optimize the prompt. Improve the source pages: clearer category definition, stronger comparison pages, FAQ blocks, proof points, schema and internal links from pages that already have impressions.
