# Citations

> See which websites and domains AI models cite when they answer — and find where to earn your next mention.

When AI models answer a question, they often draw on specific web sources. The **Citations** page (labeled **Citations** in the sidebar) shows those sources across all your tracked prompts, so you understand which websites shape AI answers in your space.

## Why citations matter

AI assistants tend to cite and trust a recurring set of domains. If those sources mention your brand, you're far more likely to appear in answers. Citations tell you:

* **Which domains influence answers** about your topics.
* **Where competitors are being cited** that you aren't.
* **Which content formats** (editorial, news, user-generated, social) drive AI answers.
