Share of Search (SoS) measures how frequently AI engines cite your domain in their responses — not just mention your brand name, but actually link to your pages.

​
How it’s calculated

Share of Search = Your domain citations ÷ Total citations in all responses × 100
Citations are matched by domain, not by brand name. If an AI engine links to any page on sparkasse.de, that counts toward Sparkasse’s SoS regardless of the link’s anchor text. See Mentions, Citations & Sources for how citations differ from mentions and sources.

​
SoS vs. Share of Voice

These two metrics measure different things:
Share of VoiceShare of Search
What it countsYour brand name mentioned in textYour domain URL cited as a source
What it signalsBrand presence in AI conversationsDomain authority as an AI source
You can have SoV without SoS — AI mentions your brand by name without linking to your pages. You can also have SoS without SoV — your pages are cited as a source in a response that doesn’t mention your brand directly.

​
What it tells you

SoS is a secondary metric that reflects how much AI engines trust your domain as a reference. Low SoS combined with low Alignment Score usually means your content isn’t structured in a way AI systems can confidently cite.
Since zued audits weekly, SoS is a directional indicator — not a real-time measurement. It’s reliable enough to spot trends and compare engines, but take individual data points with a grain of salt.
