AI Citation Analysis
See which sources ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini cite when they answer about your category, and where you're missing.
We ran this playbook for a brand-new supplement brand with zero footprint. ChatGPT now answers with a full breakdown, citing the Reddit threads we built.

How it works
From cited sources to being the source.
Most tools stop at the report. Our analysis exists to feed the engine that gets you into the answer.
Capture every citation
We run your buyers' real prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini, and record every source each answer leans on, engine by engine, prompt by prompt.
Rank the sources
Citations roll up into a ranked source list for your category: the domains and exact pages AI trusts, how often each one appears, and who it favors.
Close the gaps
Where competitors are cited and you're not, we don't hand you a to-do list. Our Reddit engine builds the ranked, credible content that becomes the next citation.
Core capabilities
Everything citation analysis covers.
Citation sources
The domains AI actually draws from when it answers about your category, ranked by how often they appear across engines and prompts. This is the authority graph that decides who gets recommended.

Cited pages
Not just domains, the exact URLs behind each answer. In most buying categories, a handful of ranked threads and posts do the heavy lifting. Those URLs are the real estate that matters.
Competitor citation gap
The sources that cite your competitors but never mention you, ranked by how often they surface. Every entry is a concrete target: a thread to enter, a comparison to correct, a conversation to start.
Citation trends
Models update, publishers rise and fade. We track how your category's citation graph shifts over time, so you see a source gaining influence before your competitors do.
From gap to citation
This is where we differ from every tracking tool: analysis is the input, not the product. The gaps feed straight into our Reddit engine, real threads, real conversation, until the answer cites you.
Every engine your buyers ask.
The receipts
Cited pages become traffic. Here's one.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is AI citation analysis?+
AI citation analysis is the practice of recording which sources AI engines reference when they answer questions about a category, then ranking those sources by influence. It shows you the pages ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini treat as trustworthy, the closest thing AI search has to a backlink graph.
How is it different from backlink analysis?+
Backlinks measure which pages link to you; citations measure which pages AI engines actually quote when they generate an answer. A site with modest link metrics can dominate AI answers if it hosts the conversations AI trusts, which is exactly why ranked Reddit threads punch far above their domain-authority weight.
Which sources do AI engines cite most?+
It varies by category and engine, but community and review content consistently outperforms brand sites: Reddit threads, YouTube walkthroughs, Wikipedia, and comparison platforms. Engines want independent evidence of what real people recommend, not marketing copy.
Why does Reddit matter so much for AI citations?+
Reddit threads rank on Google for buying-intent searches, and AI engines lean on ranked, credible conversation when forming recommendations. One thread that holds a page-one position can shape answers across multiple engines at once, we've watched a brand go from invisible to described by name in ChatGPT off the back of threads we built.
Can you actually influence what AI cites?+
Yes, that's the difference between us and a tracking tool. Tools show you the citation gap; our Reddit engine closes it with real, human-run engagement that earns rankings and becomes the source AI pulls from. Analysis is step one, placement is the product.
Which engines do you cover?+
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, alongside the Google rankings and Reddit threads that feed them. Coverage runs per tracked prompt, so you see exactly which buyer questions you win and lose.
