DealSource Systems
Early signal on a harder, faster-growing measurement set.
Before
Our first measurement on dealsourcesystems.com (1 August 2026) recorded 0% mention rate and a 5.2% citation share, from 6 total citations across 115 tracked buyer questions.
After
By our most recent measurement (5 September 2026), across a tracked set that has grown to 495 questions (4.3x wider than the starting set), DealSource Systems is now mentioned in AI answers for the first time (1.0% mention rate, 5 total mentions, up from 0), and total citation volume has nearly quadrupled to 23 (up from 6).
The honest read on citation share
Citation share itself has not clearly improved yet: it is currently 4.65%, close to where it started, after touching a high of 6.9% mid-period. We are not calling this a citation-share win. The tracked question set has grown considerably faster than DealSource's citation volume has kept pace with, which is itself useful information: it tells us where the program needs to focus next (more answer-first pages addressing the newer buyer questions we are now tracking), rather than where it has already succeeded.
What changed
The same measurement and content program as above, applied to a newer, faster-growing site. The real result so far is that DealSource went from being invisible to AI answer engines (zero mentions, zero citations at the very first measurement) to having a first foothold, on a bar that keeps rising as we track more of the questions its real buyers actually ask.
