Find which sources AI models actually trust to answer a prompt related to your product, brand, or company in less than a minute
CiteScout is a tool that analyzes which websites and online sources AI models cite when responding to specific prompts. It helps you understand where AI systems get their information, which is crucial for optimizing your content for AI visibility.
You provide a prompt (like a question your customers might ask), select which AI models to test, and choose how many times to run the analysis. Our system queries each AI model multiple times to identify patterns in which sources they cite, then aggregates the results by URL and domain.
AI models can provide different responses to the same prompt due to their stochastic nature. Running multiple times gives you a more complete picture of which sources are consistently cited, helping you identify the most influential websites in your industry.
Use the extracted sources to: (1) Identify authoritative websites in your niche that AI trusts, (2) Find opportunities to get your content cited on those sources, (3) Understand your competitors' visibility in AI responses, and (4) Develop a content strategy that aligns with AI-preferred sources.
We support all major AI models including GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and more. You can select multiple models to compare how different AI systems cite sources for the same prompt.
