What we measure

What we measure from day one

The four numbers every YSource GEO report is built on — prompt mentions, answer position, citation coverage and share of voice — re-run against the same prompt set each month.

    Prompt mentions

    How many of your target buying prompts name you at all, across each assistant.

  2. 02

    Answer position

    Whether you are named first, buried third, or only appear as a footnote citation.

  3. 03

    Citation coverage

    How many of the sources models pull from actually contain accurate information about you.

  4. 04

    Share of voice

    How often you appear versus the named competitors you told us you care about.

Because we re-run the same prompts every month, each number is comparable to the last. If a figure moves, the report shows you the exact answer that moved it.
