Editors' review
Measuring the thing that is replacing search
If a growing share of answers never produces a click, ranking data alone stops describing reality. Tracking citations is the only way to see whether you still exist in that channel.
The methodology is young. Treat movements as directional rather than precise, and do not rebuild a strategy on one month of data.
Verdict
Worth it if AI answers are already eating your clicks. Premature if they are not.
