Need alerts when AI citations drop

Absolutely — you can set up alerts for AI citations dropping.

To make the alert useful, define these 3 things:

1. What counts as an AI citation

   • Mentions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini, etc.
   • Or a specific tool/source you already track.

2. What “drop” means

   • Example: alert if citations fall by 20% week over week
   • Or if they fall below an absolute threshold, like fewer than 50 citations/day

3. How often to check

   • Daily for fast response
   • Weekly if you want fewer noise alerts

Simple alert rule examples

• Daily alert: “Notify me if AI citations decrease by more than 15% compared with the previous 7-day average.”
• Threshold alert: “Notify me if citations fall below 100 per week.”
• Trend alert: “Notify me if citations decline for 3 consecutive days.”

If you’re tracking this in a dashboard

Common setup:

• Pull citation data into Looker Studio / Tableau / Power BI / Google Sheets
• Create a conditional alert or automation
• Send notifications through email, Slack, or SMS

If you want to do this with automation

You can use:

• Zapier
• Make
• Slack alerts
• Python + cron
• Google Sheets + Apps Script

If you want, I can help you with either:

1. a specific alert formula, or
2. a full setup for your tool stack.
