NOTE · 13 NOV 2026

A citation is not a recommendation

A source link in an AI answer is a citation record. It is not a recommendation.

A captured answer can name a business, link to a verified website, and still not recommend that business. The source panel, footnote, or inline URL is evidence that a citation appeared. It is not evidence that the model preferred the firm, ranked it, or advised a buyer to call.

GetMojoPR records mentions and citations separately. A mention without a citation stays a mention. A citation without recommendation language stays a citation. We report a position only when the answer contains an explicitly ordered list. Ordinary prose is not turned into a ranking.

This note does not claim a business appeared, ranked, or won work. It does not promise inclusion in future answers.
