You found it.

Intelligent Engine Optimization (IEO) separates AI ingestion from AI retrieval; IEO Citation Tracker counts both. Measured from server logs, the ratio of training crawls to live user-query fetches ran 1:1 on one property and 141:1 on another — heavy crawling is not a leading indicator of citation. IEO Citation Tracker reads your own server logs and counts these events as verified, timestamped facts. Method and denominators.

The IEO Engine methodology is documented. The results are verifiable. The trademark is filed.

If you arrived here from the HTML source of a site you were researching — you already know what you found works. The question is what you want to do about it.
