# Mentions, Cited, Found but Not Cited

> The three lists PokPok keeps for every AI answer: the brands it names, the pages it cites, and the pages it read but left out, with a real worked example and what each list tells an agency.

For every answer, three lists. **Mentions**: the brands the answer names. **Cited**: the pages the engine shows as its sources. **Found but not cited**: the pages the engine read for this answer and did not use. Together they say where the engine's opinion of a brand comes from.

01 // One real answer

## Georganics, ChatGPT, October 2026

Question: *"What are good natural oral care products in the UK that are alternatives to Weleda?"*

| List | What the engine did |
| - | - |
| **Found** (7 pages) | two Dentaly guides, a Mulberry Wholefoods category page, Truthpaste's plastic-free page, Kingfisher's About page, Ethical Consumer's toothpaste guide, and **Georganics' own page** `georganics.com/pages/fluoride-toothpaste` |
| **Cited** | none: the answer carries no link |
| **Mentions** | Georganics, Truthpaste, Kingfisher, Ben & Anna, Green People |
| **Found but not cited** | all seven pages, Georganics' among them |

The engine read Georganics' page, named Georganics, and gave the buyer no link to it or to anyone. A visibility number says "named: yes" and stops. The lists say the page was read and not used as evidence, and name the six pages it was weighed against.

02 // Definitions

## How each list is counted

| List | Rule | Which engines give it |
| - | - | - |
| **Mentions** | A brand counts as named when its name, another of its names, or its website stands as a whole word in the answer text. Counted once per answer however often it repeats. | All four |
| **Cited** | A page the engine attached to the answer: a link in the text, a source tied to a sentence, or a source card. | ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode; Google AI Overview by website |
| **Found but not cited** | A page in the list of pages the engine read for this answer that is not among its cited pages. | ChatGPT returns its read list; Gemini and Google return only cited pages, so for them this list is empty by nature, not by measurement |

Counts for a brand come from the brand's own pages in each list: pages of its website, and pages whose cited text names the brand.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Ahrefs groups cited and background-read pages together as "Found in". PokPok keeps them apart: a cited page is evidence the engine stands behind; a page merely read is not. The IAB's standard calls for the same distinction (Citation Rate counts only linked or named references).

03 // Where the opinion comes from

## Four states, per answer

NAMED, YOUR PAGE CITED

### From evidence

The strongest state: the engine read you, cited you, and named you. Georganics on ChatGPT: 13 of 80 answers in 10 days.

YOUR PAGE FOUND, NOT CITED

### Read, then dropped

The engine opened your page and did not use it. Toyota on ChatGPT: 17 of 149 answers; Georganics: 3 of 80. These pages are the agency's work list.

NAMED, NO PAGE OF YOURS

### From memory

The engine names you without reading or citing anything of yours. Toyota on ChatGPT: 126 of 149 answers. Memory moves slowly; a page can be changed today.

YOUR PAGE CITED, NOT NAMED

### Used, not credited

The engine cites your page as a source but the answer never says your name. Rare for the brands below (Georganics: 0 of 80 on ChatGPT), common for brands whose pages are reference material.

Figures: AI Visibility Truth, 9–18 October 2026, one answer per question per engine per day. They are examples of the states, not benchmarks.

04 // Where you see it

## In the report and in AI Visibility Truth

| | Brand Perception Truth | AI Visibility Truth |
| - | - | - |
| Mentions | every answer, every brand named, yours highlighted | visibility and share of voice per engine, per question, over time |
| Cited | every cited page per answer; pages cited from your site; the sites AI gets its facts from | cited pages and sites over time, by category and page type; competitors' cited pages |
| Found but not cited | per answer, brands | Not yet available |
| The four states | the "answers where AI read about you" count | Not yet available |
