Top Cited Sources
The websites AI links to most often when describing your brand category.
What Top Cited Sources shows
Top Cited Sources lists every website AI mentioned in responses to your tracked queries, grouped by domain and sorted by how often each domain was cited.
Why it matters
When AI answers questions about your category, it often includes links. These links shape where readers go next. If AI consistently links to a competitor's website, a review platform, or an industry directory instead of yours — that's an AI visibility gap.
Top Cited Sources tells you which sources AI trusts most in your category, and whether your own pages are among them.
What you'll see
For each cited domain:
- Domain name — The website that was cited
- Citation count — How many times AI mentioned this domain across your scans
- Trend — Whether citation frequency is increasing, decreasing, or stable
How to use this information
Your domain appears at the top — AI is regularly citing your official pages. This is a strong signal that your website content is authoritative for your category.
Your domain doesn't appear — AI isn't linking to your pages. Add your key pages (pricing, features, homepage) to the Canonical URLs section in Brand Hub. Publishing clear, structured content about your category also helps over time.
A competitor appears high on the list — AI references your competitor's website more than yours. This may reflect that the competitor has more detailed content on the topics your tracked queries cover.
Review platforms, directories, or aggregators appear — This is normal. Sites like G2, Capterra, and Wikipedia are commonly cited in category-level queries. Focus on getting your own pages cited alongside them.
Adding your pages to monitoring
Go to Brand Hub and add your official pages to the Canonical URLs field in the Verdict Engine section. AIVIS.space checks every AI response to see whether your listed pages were cited.
If they weren't cited, a Citation Gap action appears in your Actions section.
