Citation Quality
Definition
Citation Quality is a segmentation of citations by intent and value, distinguishing definition prompts from high-intent evaluation prompts.
Plain English
Not all citations are equal. Getting cited on "what is X" is less valuable than getting cited on "best X for enterprise."
Why it matters
- Raw citation count hides whether you're winning on the prompts that matter.
- High-intent citations (comparison, "best X", pricing) drive more pipeline.
- Tracking quality prevents vanity wins on low-value definition queries.
