owner is own, then compared with the previous window.
This is a different figure from
citation_rate in the visibility report. citation_rate is the share of answers that link to you at least once; citation share is your share of links. An answer citing you once among nine other sources raises your citation rate fully and your citation share by a tenth. Use citation_rate for the Visibility Score and citation share to see how much of the evidence the engines rely on is yours.How this example works
- Request the citations report unfiltered, with
entity: "domain"and nogroup_by. Filtering onownerwould make shares add up to 1 within the filter; see Conventions. - Fetch every page. The long tail of domains matters to the denominator.
- Divide your citations by all citations. Summing the raw
citationscounts is exact; summingcitation_sharegives the same answer, give or take rounding. - Run it for the previous window and report the change in percentage points.
