Citation
A citation is a source that an AI answer uses or references as evidence. Citations are critical because they determine who gets authority when AI answers summarize a topic. To improve citation potential, pages should include:- clear definitions and summaries
- updated dates and authorship signals
- statistics, examples, tables, and checklists
- FAQ and comparison sections
- structured data where appropriate
- crawlable public HTML
Brand Mention
A brand mention means the model names your brand in its response. Mentions are broader than citations: AI may mention a brand without citing its website. HaloX helps you identify where your brand appears, where competitors appear instead, and which topics need stronger category, comparison, or educational content.Prompt Set
A prompt set is a group of buyer-style questions used to monitor AI answers over time. Good prompts are:- close to real buyer questions
- specific enough to reveal intent
- relevant to a category or problem
- likely to include competitors
- written in the target market language
