Citation Intelligence
What sources are influencing AI answers?
Engines do not invent a category from scratch. They reuse a small set of third-party pages. Citation Intelligence shows which of those pages name competitors, which name you, and which never mention the brand at all.
Source influence
ExampleExample source table for a CRM-style category. Not a live scan of a real brand.
| Source | Brand presence |
|---|---|
| g2.com | Competitors |
| reddit.com | Competitors |
| capterra.com | Mixed |
| industry-roundup.com | Competitors |
| yourbrand.com | Absent |
Why citations matter more than a homepage rewrite
If seven of the ten sources an engine trusts for a topic already name a competitor, on-page edits on your site rarely change the next answer. Citation Intelligence is the map of that off-page surface: review sites, forums, listicles, and reference pages the models actually reuse.
Pair it with Opportunity Intelligence to decide which missing mentions are worth the work, and with Competitor Intelligence to see who those sources are currently promoting.
