Pro · sample report
A real report, for a real publication. Nothing mocked.
This is what a Pro report looks like — generated 2026-08-31 for readinglist.school, one of our own publications (a school reading-list reference that earns affiliate revenue). Every number below is from a named instrument on a named date. This sample was assembled by hand; see the note below for what the automated weekly report contains.
A note on what’s automated: Sections 1–4 below were pulled by hand for this one sample — Bing Webmaster “AI Performance” data, Search Console data and our free readiness audit, genuinely this site’s numbers, not mocked. None of that is wired into the weekly pipeline yet, so it won’t appear in your own report today. What runs automatically every week for your domain: citation counts per page or prompt you track from Gemini and OpenAI (Perplexity not included yet), with the change versus the previous week.
1 · The AI-citation headline.
Source: Bing Webmaster Tools “AI Performance” (Microsoft Copilots & partners), 3-month window ending Aug 29, 2026.
40,400
AI citations in 3 months across 221 distinct grounding queries.
~50 → ~2,000+
Citations per day, June vs. late August — a 40× ramp inside one quarter (peak day: 2,500).
285
Distinct pages cited on the peak day (Aug 27) — the citations spread across the catalog, not one lucky URL.
2 · The queries AI answers with this site.
Citation share is the number that matters: on “oprah reading list,” AI answers cite this site in 38% of sampled groundings — that is ownership of an answer, not a mention. Anything above ~30% is a moat; anything big with a low share is the growth list.
| Grounding query | Citations (3 mo) | Citation share |
|---|---|---|
| 9th grade reading list | 504 | 14.93% |
| ar reading level | 388 | 32.88% |
| 5th grade reading list | 328 | 19.68% |
| ib prescribed reading list | 299 | 33.33% |
| 10th grade reading list | 253 | 35.38% |
| 8th grade books | 222 | 20.48% |
| good morning america book club list | 217 | 22.89% |
| school reading list | 214 | 15.98% |
| teaching children to read | 178 | 35.46% |
| oprah reading list | 160 | 38.19% |
Top 10 of 221 queries from this one manually-pulled Bing sample (see the automation note above) — not part of the automated weekly report.
3 · What the same quarter did for traffic and money pages.
Source: Google Search Console, same 3-month window.
7,110 clicks · 362,000 impressions · average position 9.1. The pages earning those clicks are the same pages the AI queries above resolve to — state and grade reading-list pages, which are exactly this site's affiliate money pages:
| Page | Clicks (3 mo) | Impressions |
|---|---|---|
| /decade/2000s | 242 | 4,640 |
| /state/north-carolina | 189 | 2,216 |
| /state/california | 113 | 3,014 |
| /state/georgia | 89 | 1,156 |
| /state/texas | 75 | 1,720 |
| /curriculum/ib-dp-english-literature | 68 | 2,799 |
Honest caveat: citation→click attribution is directional, not one-to-one — no tool can trace an individual AI answer to an individual visit. In this sample we lined up which cited queries map to which earning pages, and which cited pages are NOT earning yet.
4 · The one fix for next week.
From this site's own readiness audit (scored 87/100 on our free checker, 2026-08-31): the homepage's first paragraph is 5,339 characters — far past the ~600-character window AI engines extract cleanly. One edit — open with a two-sentence, quote-ready answer — makes the most-cited entry page easier to quote verbatim. Second and third: add datePublished/<time> freshness markup, and a second sameAs profile on the operator entity.
Subscriber reports contain citation counts per page or prompt you track, from citation-bearing APIs (Gemini grounding and OpenAI web search; Perplexity not included yet), run for your domain each week.
