What are citation sources?

The pages and domains AI platforms cite when they answer your prompts — the raw material behind every answer. If a site keeps getting cited in your category, it's shaping what AI says about your market.

What's the difference between Domains, URLs, and the Citation Pool?

Domains rolls citations up by site so you see which publishers dominate; URLs shows the exact pages being cited; the Citation Pool is the full raw feed of every citation captured across your prompts and platforms.

How does this help me get cited?

It shows you where AI already looks: the communities, review sites, and publications feeding answers in your space. Show up there — and see which of your own pages already earn citations so you can double down on what works.

Are sources classified automatically?

Yes. Every source is tagged by relationship (your site, a competitor's, independent editorial) and by type — community, video, reference, news, reviews — so you can read the shape of your citation landscape at a glance.

Can I export the data?

Yes — the Domains and URLs views export the full filtered set to Excel (.xlsx) or CSV, ready for reporting or outreach lists.
