The Distribution console & syndication matrix
The Distribution console at kariant.app/partner/distribution shows listing-state eligibility, per-surface preferences and recorded placement activity. A status label is not proof of external retrieval, indexing or citation.
The placements reportlink
The report lists your distribution links with their server-counted clicks — the placement data that exists for your account today. If you have not created links or embeds, the report says so instead of showing placeholder numbers. Embed impressions and KDN ad requests are recorded server-side, and per-placement reporting for those surfaces lands in the console as that reporting rail is wired. On the public partner site, Embeds and KDN are labeled Beta while that rail matures.
Embed attribution is now signature-verified end to end: listing-card snippets are server-signed when a publisher copies them, and unsigned or tampered embeds render unattributed (fail-closed) instead of crediting anyone. Your listing still displays either way — the signature protects who gets credit.
Inclusion controlslink
Publication, plan and per-surface preferences control eligibility. The console provides switches for the network AI feed, embeds & KDN units, and distribution links. The network feed applies its saved opt-out on refresh; caches and external copies mean withdrawal is not immediate everywhere. Other machine documents have separate serving rules, so a feed switch is not a universal removal control. Re-enabling a preference restores eligibility only when the other surface rules also pass.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a published listing show as Plan-gated?expand_more
Public-page eligibility and AI-surface eligibility differ. Kariant’s own AI surfaces and the network feed require AI or above for main-directory partner listings; embeds, distribution links and KDN require Agentic. A public listing can therefore remain available while one of these surfaces excludes it.
How do I take a listing out of the AI syndication feed?expand_more
Turn off the feed preference for that listing in the console. It takes effect on the network feed’s next refresh; caches and external copies can persist. Unpublishing also changes eligibility, but neither action proves immediate removal from every machine document or external engine.
Where do the click numbers come from?expand_more
From the click counters on your distribution links, incremented server-side as real clicks resolve through the tracked redirect. The console never shows modeled or projected reach.
Can Kariant measure my citations inside ChatGPT or Perplexity?expand_more
Not yet, and the console does not pretend to. Mentions by Kariant’s own AI surfaces are recorded and shown in the mention dashboard; external-engine cite measurement is on the roadmap and will be labeled as measured data when it ships.
