Target Sources That
AI Actually Cites

DA Doesn't Mean AI Citations

You've been optimising for metrics that don't predict AI visibility. A DR 90 site means nothing if AI platforms never cite it for your topics.

Traditional approach

"Find high DA sites in your niche and pitch them"

The problem

No correlation between domain metrics and AI citation frequency

The result

Effort spent on links that don't improve AI visibility

Our approach

Target sources AI actually cites for your topics

The data

Millions of AI responses analysed to identify real citation sources

The result

Get mentioned on sources that directly impact AI visibility

Prioritised by Query Count

Sources cited by more AI queries are more valuable because they appear across multiple user intents.

The Methodology

How we turn AI citation data into actionable link building targets.

1

Continuous AI Response Collection

Your prompts run daily across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode. We scrape every response and extract all cited sources.

2

Source Scraping & Analysis

Each cited source is scraped. We extract page type (listicle, comparison, guide, etc.), author information, and full content for analysis.

3

Brand Mention Detection

Advanced AI identifies every brand mentioned on each source, including your competitors. We track mention count, context, and whether they appear in titles/headings.

4

Gap Identification

We compare competitor coverage against yours. Sources where competitors appear and you don't become link building opportunities.

5

Intelligent Prioritisation

Opportunities are scored by query count (most important), page type, mention frequency, and effort required. High-value, achievable targets surface first.

Query Count HIGHEST WEIGHT

Sources cited by more unique AI queries are more valuable because they appear across multiple user intents.

Competitor Mentions

Title Presence

Effort Required
