NOTE · 23 OCT 2026
A search rank is not an AI citation
A position in search results is not a citation in an AI answer.
Organic rank and generative answers are separate measurements. A business can appear on a search results page and still be unnamed, unlinked, or omitted when an answer engine replies to the same kind of question.
Rank reports a place among indexed pages. An AI citation is a source the captured answer actually used. A mention of the business name without the verified website is still not a citation. Treating a search position as proof of an AI source mixes two logs.
GetMojoPR records the question, the capture, and whether the verified site was cited. Mentions and citations stay separate. Failed or missing captures are disclosed. We do not invent a citation from a ranking, and we do not turn ordinary prose into a position.
This note does not claim a business appeared, ranked, or won work. It does not promise inclusion in future answers.
