Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sudden citation rate drops?
Common causes include: AI model updates (especially ChatGPT base model updates), a surge in competitor review volume, a negative press or Reddit event about your brand, or loss of a key source listing. Anomaly detection helps you pinpoint which of these is at play.
How quickly do alerts fire?
Alerts fire within 24 hours of anomaly detection. For critical thresholds, you can configure real-time alerts that check every 4 hours.
