Find the sources behind every AI answer

AI Citation Analysis

See which domains and pages ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity and Copilot cite when they answer buyers in your market, and find the cited sites that name competitors but leave you out.

How it works

From tracked prompts to a list of sources worth winning, in three steps.

  1. 01

    Run the prompts buyers ask

    Track the questions buyers ask AI about your category on the engines you choose, daily, weekly or on demand.

  2. 02

    Every citation is collected

    Each answer's sources are stored with the engine and prompt that cited them, grouped by domain and sorted by type.

  3. 03

    Go after the gaps

    Boost citations lists the sites AI cites in answers that leave you out, so you know where a mention, a review or a backlink would count most.

In depth

AI citation analysis, in depth.

Six views that show where AI answers come from and how to become one of the sources.

Top cited domains

See which sites AI trusts in your market.

Every domain cited in your answers, ranked by citations, with the number of prompts and answers that cite it. Your own site and your competitors' are marked.

Domain types

Know what kind of source wins.

Each domain is sorted as community, review, blog, news, reference, social, video, corporate or other, so you can see whether AI leans on Reddit threads, review sites or articles in your category.

Cited pages

Go from the domain to the exact page.

Open a domain for the pages AI cited, or switch to a flat list of every cited URL, with the engines that cited it.

Boost citations

Find the sites that leave you out.

A dedicated view lists the sites AI cites in answers that do not mention you. Getting listed or mentioned there is the most direct way into those answers.

Citations over time

See which sources are rising.

A daily chart, as bars or lines, shows how often AI cited each of the ten most-cited domains, so you notice when a new source starts to matter.

Filters & export

Narrow it down and take it with you.

Filter by prompt, AI model and domain type, search for a domain, and export the results to CSV.

Every answer comes with its sources.

RanklyBee keeps the sources each engine cites next to the answer, so you can see which pages put a competitor in front of buyers and which ones already mention you.
