Track a published URL
- Open AI Search Console at /ai-search-console and select the correct workspace.
- Choose the track-results action and enter a valid public HTTP or HTTPS URL for the content you want to follow.
- Review the tracked-content list and open the URL's detail view to inspect the available signals and trend.
- Use the status groups, content type and available filters to focus on published content that needs attention.
Read the lifecycle status
Tracked items can be blog posts, website content or social posts. The status describes observed data for that item, not a guarantee about every search engine or AI product.
- Published: the URL is recorded as published; later pickup may not yet be observed.
- Crawled: crawler access has been observed for the tracked content.
- Cited: the page has appeared as a citation in monitored AI answers.
- No pickup: the content has not gained the expected subsequent pickup in the available observations.
- Lost: previously observed citation activity has dropped out of the relevant tracking window.
Evaluate results with the right evidence
Open details to compare the available citation and visibility signals over time, and inspect the prompts or providers associated with pickup. Content Studio also has a per-workflow tracking view with available mentions, visibility, citations and position metrics.
Crawler access, citations and visits answer different questions. A bot request does not prove a citation; a citation does not prove a click. Use AI Crawlers, Sources and AI Traffic together to understand the sequence.
