LLM Citation Tracker
How often blog.teamrenick.com is cited when buyers and sellers ask an LLM real-estate questions about the Sarasota / Manatee / Longboat Key market. Now tracking Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini — three LLMs, same 50 prompts, every Monday.
← Back to Blog Effectiveness DashboardHow to Read This Number
We sample 50 prompts derived from Michael’s published blog titles each week. For each one, we ask Perplexity sonar-pro, ChatGPT (gpt-4o-mini with web search), and Gemini 2.5 Flash (with Google Search grounding) the same question and check whether blog.teamrenick.com appears in each LLM’s citations.
Each LLM gets its own column on the scorecard below. The number you see is the % of Michael’s own topics where each LLM cites him back.

Current Recommendations Based on This Week’s Results
Updated every Monday from the same measured prompts, ChatGPT misses, movement data, and Off-Page Hit List. Week of Sep 14, 2026.
ChatGPT is the priority because it cited Team Renick on 10/50 prompts (20%). That trails the stronger LLM by 65 points, so this week’s work should focus on pages ChatGPT skipped even when Perplexity or Gemini found us.
