Sources, gap analysis and the crawler check
AI answers lean on the pages they cite. Sources shows which ones, so you can see where your brand is missing. Open a brand and choose Sources in the sidebar.
The summary
- Citations: links cited across answers that had any.
- Domains: how many were cited at least once.
- Your domain cited: citations of your own site, and their share of all citations.
- No sources shown: answers that cited nothing.
Filter everything by Engine. Export CSV saves the domain table.
Cited domains and URLs
Cited domains lists each domain with:
- Type: Own site, Competitor, Review site, Forum, News, Video or Reference. Types come from the domain name, so treat them as a guide.
- Share of citations
- With brand: citations in answers that mention your brand. “Never” means none.
- With competitors: citations in answers that mention a competitor.
Show narrows it to your own domain or competitor domains. Select a domain to see the prompts whose answers cited it. Cited URLs lists the individual pages.
Gap analysis
Gap analysis lists sites that appear in answers naming a competitor, but never in an answer naming you. Competitors’ own sites are left out. These are the pages most worth approaching, because they already write about your category.
If there are none, every site that cites a competitor also cites your brand.
The AI-crawler check
AI crawler access reads your site’s robots.txt and shows the setting for each crawler:
- GPTBot
- OAI-SearchBot
- ClaudeBot
- PerplexityBot
- Google-Extended
Each shows Allowed, Blocked or Not specified, for your homepage. A crawler with no rules of its own follows the rules for all crawlers (*) if those block it. The result is kept for a day.
The check reads your rules. It doesn’t show whether a crawler actually visited, and it can’t see blocks made elsewhere, such as by a firewall.
The same check is free for any site at the AI crawler checker.
