Which sources AI models cite in their answers.

An AI answer is only as good as its sources. Every day we track which domains and individual pages ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity rely on, filterable by model and prompt.

DOMAINS
List of cited domains with counter

Which domains the models treat as authorities.

We list the most-cited domains in your market, sorted by frequency over the selected period. You spot the staple sources the models rely on at a glance.

INDIVIDUAL PAGES

Which specific URLs the models cite.

Domain view is often not enough. You want to know whether a specific test, a specific guide, or a category page is cited. Citations shows each cited URL on its own.

CITATION CHECK

Check a page for whether you are actually named.

You enter a published URL. We fetch the page and check whether your brand and your competitors are named on it. That tells you which pages back you, before they show up in AI answers.

What gets cited is half the answer. What is missing is the other half.

Citation Gaps turns the gap list into an order.

Citation data shows you what is there. Citation Gaps compares your profile to your competitors and proposes which sources will most likely move the needle once you close them.

WHY IT MATTERS

The AI does not cite you, it cites the source.

~18%

of ChatGPT answers draw on a live web search; Wikipedia and Reddit alone make up over a quarter of cited U.S. sources.

Profound, 2025
8%

of Google searches with an AI summary still lead to a click on a website. Without one it is 15%.

01
Sources decide

Models base their answers on a few recurring domains. Whoever appears there gets recommended.

02
Collected daily

We track the cited sources every day across all four models, not one-off samples.

03
Gaps become visible

You see which sources back your competitors but not you yet, and can close the gap on purpose.

THE MENTION ALONE

That you get named.

A bare mention count tells you that you appear, but not which source carried the answer. The lever to act on is missing.
WHAT UCITED SHOWS
