What are AI citations and AI indexing?

Two bot-visit sub-types: crawler hits tied to a live citation, versus indexing/training bots.

These are two sub-types of bot visit in Agent Analytics

AI citations — crawler fetches tied to an engine citing your page in a live answer. The highest-value visits.
AI indexing — visits from indexing and training bots building the model's general knowledge, not tied to a specific answer.

Read alongside total bot visits, they show whether crawler interest is turning into actual citations.
