Source tracking across AI sources

Who's getting cited? (Hint: maybe not you.)

See which domains AI trusts enough to link to. Find the gaps where competitors get cited and you don't. Citations are the new backlinks, and now you can track every one.

The domains AI trusts. Where do you rank?

Every time AI cites a URL, BrandCrux captures it. See which domains dominate your category and where your site sits in the pecking order.

Citation Attribution Types

Named. Linked. Or both. The difference matters.

BrandCrux classifies every citation into three types. Your mix tells you whether AI is giving you real visibility or just a passing nod.

CITED + NAMED
2345%
AI links your site AND mentions your brand by name. The strongest visibility signal — users see your name and can click through.
NAMED ONLY
1835%
AI mentions your brand name in the response but does not link to your site. Brand awareness without direct traffic.
CITED ONLY
1020%
AI links to your site but does not mention your brand name in the surrounding text. Traffic without brand recognition.
CITED + NAMED is the gold standard. When AI both links to your site and names your brand, users are most likely to click through.
Citation Gap Proof

They get cited. You don't. Here's exactly where.

Gap analysis reveals the specific sources and prompts where competitors earn citations and you're invisible. Concrete proof, not guesswork.

Competitor cites found on these sources suggest your content should qualify. Optimize and resubmit.
Cross-Engine Agreement

When multiple AI sources cite you, that's consensus. When they don't, that's a problem.

Citation overlap between source pairs. High agreement means you've earned trust. Low agreement means your authority is fragmented.

Why It Matters

Backlinks got you to page one. Citations get you into AI answers.

Gold Standard
CITED + NAMED is the strongest signal. AI links to you AND says your name. That's the one you optimize for.
Gap Intelligence
Competitors get cited where you don't. Concrete proof of what to fix, not a vague suggestion to "create better content."
Trend Lines
Are your optimization efforts working? Citation trends tell you week by week, with no ambiguity.
