Every AI answer is built from sources. Source Analytics tracks the domains and URLs AI cites alongside you — what drives your visibility, what fuels competitors', and which citations you own.
Ranqo attributes every brand mention to the domain and URL the AI referenced. So when ChatGPT recommends you, you know exactly whose content got you there.
Ranked list of every domain AI has cited alongside your brand in the tracking window — with citation count and which platforms cited it.
Every cited domain is tagged as self-citation, industry reference, competitor, community (Reddit / forums), or editorial — so you know what kind of authority is driving you.
Every source is linked back to the response and prompt where it appeared. You don't just see "Reddit drove 18% of citations" — you see which threads.
Every row in the Sources table opens a full drill-in: the domain's relationship, the exact URLs AI cited, article-type breakdown, and when each was last seen. Turn "Reddit drove 18% of citations" into "these 4 threads did."
The URLs tab drops below the domain level — every single page AI has cited, ranked by usage, tagged by relationship + article type. Filter to just "You" to see your most-cited pages, or "Competitors" to see theirs.
Every vertical has a "Citation Pool" — the ~50 domains AI reliably cites in answers. Getting mentioned on those is the highest-leverage move for AI visibility. Ranqo maps your pool and shows Strongholds (you dominate), Contested (you + rival), and Gaps (the pitch list).
Source Analytics lives inside Search Visibility as a first-class card — it respects the same filters (date range, platforms, categories, locations) so source attribution always matches the view you're on.

Source Analytics isn't a backlink tool. It parses the citations AI actually returns — grounding metadata on Gemini, citation blocks on Perplexity, cited URLs on ChatGPT — so you're tracking the sources AI trusts, not the sources Google indexes.
Every AI response's citation payload is captured — URLs, domains, response text.
Domains are deduplicated, alias-matched, and tagged with relationship type.
Citation count + relationship are aggregated into the filterable domain ranking.
Every citation attributed. Every domain ranked. Updated nightly.
