Implementation overview
Monitor LLM Citations and Adjust Content Accordingly
Monitoring how AI systems cite and reference your content helps you understand your content's reach and identify opportunities to improve accuracy and attribution.
Citation monitoring won't directly improve your search rankings. However, it will help you optimize content that AI systems frequently reference and protect your brand reputation in AI-generated responses.

Use Webflow MCP server to automatically update content performance metrics and citation tracking when new mentions are discovered
