Inside the AI Citations Skill
The Short Answer
The SEOmatic AI citations skill teaches an AI agent to answer 'does ChatGPT cite me' with first-party evidence: real logged-in AI answers that cited your site, which pages AI answer-crawlers fetch, and which pages AI assistants send visitors to. It also checks the facts AI states about your business against the facts you declared. All of it reads your own stored data for free. SEOmatic can stage fixes, and nothing goes live until you click approve.
What You Get
Which pages AI cites, which it crawls but never cites, which send you visitors, any wrong fact an AI states about you, and what would change the outcome.
Ask Your Agent
Once the skill is installed, ask in your own words. For example:
- "Does ChatGPT cite my site?"
- "Is AI sending me any traffic?"
- "Is any AI answer about my business wrong?"
How the Skill Works
- Start with observed citations
- Then check what AI does with the pages
- Check the facts AI states about the business
- Close with what changes the outcome
Every number comes from a tool result with its exact date range. The skill never estimates a figure it could read.

By default, nothing changes on your site until you approve it. A fix is staged as a proposal that says what will change and why. Approved fixes run within seconds, the page's previous state is stored, and any edit to an existing page can be rolled back. A rollback refuses to overwrite edits someone made since. Changes that could take a page out of Google, like a noindex, need an extra confirmation.
Run It on a Schedule
This skill is part of the AI Visibility Watch Grok Bot template, which run it on a schedule and only speak when something changed. All templates: SEO skills and templates.
