Review the citation landscape

Which sources are cited in the selected answers?

What websites do AI assistants cite for my topics?

You:What are the top sources AI cites when answering questions about my industry?Claude:Top sources for EduPath topics:Your website has the most citations among commercial sources in this sample. Coursera and the listed media source have a lower average citation position; that observation does not establish why the provider selected or ordered them.

Track source momentum

You:Show me the weekly source trends for the last 30 days. Which domains are gaining ground?Claude:Source Trends for EduPath:Educational sources now represent 41% of citations, up from the previous period. Coursera is the clearest mover, while Reddit is losing citation share. I would inspect the prompts and pages where Coursera gained before deciding whether this is a content or outreach opportunity.

Deep-dive on a source

You:Give me the full profile on edtechmagazine.com: what pages are cited, who else appears?Claude:Source Profile: edtechmagazine.comTop cited URLs:Co-cited competitors:Backlink available: Yes: via 3 platforms.Your brand co-appears in 35% of the sampled answers that cite this source. Review editorial relevance and existing coverage before deciding whether to test an outreach hypothesis.

On-page presence

You:Show me my on-page presence: which pages get cited?Claude:On-Page Presence for edupath.com:Top performing pages:Discovered pages (AI cites them but they’re not in your sitemap):Within this inventory, 81% of pages have no recorded citation and 15 cited pages are absent from the sitemap. Review whether those 15 pages are canonical and intended for discovery before changing the sitemap; a citation does not prove quality or future value.

Social citations

You:What social platforms cite my brand?Claude:Social Insights (last 30 days):Platform distribution:Reddit accounts for the largest share of social citations in this sample. Discussions in r/elearning and r/instructionaldesign frequently reference the platform; this overlap does not establish that they caused the AI responses.
