What Citation correctness means in GEO
A brand mention and a URL citation are different signals. This category separates presence, evidence and attribution quality.
Why it matters
Audit a sample claim by claim rather than only checking whether the answer contains links.
What to check in practice
Save the claim, cited URL and source passage. This makes it possible to verify whether attribution is correct and sufficient.
How it connects to other concepts
Citation correctness belongs to citations and sources. It is best analyzed alongside related terms because AI visibility depends on several stages and signals rather than one isolated optimization.
Common mistake
Counting every link as a valid citation without checking which claim it supports.
