    Gaps turned into actions

    Missing source domains surface as citation targets, flowing into actionable insights and workflows.

Core features

Citation Sources

Every domain cited across your tracked prompts is parsed, deduplicated and ranked by how often it appears in answers about your category. You see the real authority graph LLMs draw from, not what a generic SEO tool guesses.

Filter by model, prompt category, and time range to see which sources matter for Commercial intent versus Branded queries and how that list shifts week over week.

Advanced Filtering

Slice every citation view by model, prompt category, intent type, date range, source domain and competitor set. The same dataset reshapes into the exact cut you need, whether that is Perplexity citations on Commercial prompts last week or every new source that entered the graph this month.

Export any filtered view to CSV in one click, so the exact cut you see on screen is the exact cut your team, your deck or your spreadsheet gets.

Cited Pages

Drill into the exact URLs AI models pull when your domain is cited, with the prompts that pulled each one. The high performing pages become the template for everything you publish next.

Pages with declining citation share get flagged early, so you can refresh content before the slide compounds.

Competitor Citation Gap

A direct view of which domains cite competitors but never cite you, ranked by citation frequency and prompt overlap. Each gap is a concrete outreach, content, or partnership target.

Stacks against your own Citation Sources view so you can see overlap, exclusivity and easy wins in one place.

Spot Citation Trends

Track how the citation graph for your category evolves as models update, new publishers gain authority and old sources fade. You see structural shifts before they show up in revenue.

Per model trendlines surface specific patterns, like Perplexity favoring Reddit threads or Gemini leaning on YouTube transcripts in certain categories.

Citation Playbooks

Every cited domain you do not appear on becomes a playbook entry with the right action type already mapped: editorial outreach, guest content, paid placement, or Engagement Engine activation.

The same source list feeds the Backlinks Marketplace and outreach surfaces, so insight and action live in the same workflow.

Our app launched 4 months ago and ranking on LLM’s have driven more traffic than paid ads for us. We’ve tried to get our brand into all the relevant Reddit citations that we see LLM’s citing from

FAQ's

Frequently asked questions

  • What is citation analysis in AI search?

    Citation analysis is the practice of measuring which source domains and pages LLMs cite when they answer questions about your category. It tells you which publishers, communities and competitor sites actually shape what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity say. In a Generative Engine Optimization context, it is the closest thing to a backlink graph for AI answers.

  • How is AI citation analysis different from traditional SEO citation tracking?

    Traditional SEO citation tracking measures business listings or backlinks pointing to your site. AI citation analysis measures the sources AI models pull from when generating an answer, which is a different graph entirely. A page can rank on Google and never get cited by an LLM and vice versa, so the two views are complementary, not interchangeable.

  • Which sources do LLMs cite most often?

    It depends heavily on the category and the model. Perplexity leans into Reddit, YouTube, and news domains, ChatGPT and Claude favor established editorial and reference sites, and Gemini frequently surfaces Google properties and structured data sources. CrowdReply parses every citation per response, so you see the real mix for your prompts rather than a generic industry average.

  • How do I get my site cited by ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity?

    Three levers move citations: authority on the right domains, content structured to answer the prompts buyers actually ask and presence on the source domains LLMs already trust for your category. Citation Analysis surfaces the gap on lever three by showing exactly which sources cite competitors but not you, which becomes the target list for outreach, editorial backlinks, and Engagement Engine activation.

  • How often is citation data refreshed?

    Every tracked prompt runs daily across every supported model, with citations found and aggregated as soon as each response lands. Source lists, share of citation, and competitor gap views all update on the same daily cadence, with weekly and monthly trended views available on the same data.

  • What does citation share of voice mean?

    Citation share of voice is the percentage of all citations across your tracked prompts that point to your own domain versus competitors and third party sources. It is a single number that captures how often your site is inside the answer rather than next to it and it trends over time so you can attribute lift to specific content, outreach, or backlink activity.

  • Can I track citations per LLM separately?

    Yes, every view in Citation Analysis can be filtered or split by model, so you can see how your citation mix differs across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok. This matters because the cited source graph varies meaningfully by model and a strategy that wins on Perplexity often looks different from one that wins on ChatGPT.

  • What do I do with citation gaps once I see them?

    Each gap maps to a Citation Playbook with the right action type already attached, whether that is editorial outreach, guest content, a paid placement on a relevant publisher, or an Engagement Engine activation. The same gap list feeds the Backlinks Marketplace, so you can move from gap to placement inside the same workflow rather than handing the list off to a separate tool.
