Identify recurring sources
See which publications, domains, and pages influence answers across the configured prompt set.
Understand source influence
Citation Intelligence
A2Z Reach records cited domains and pages, citation position or zone when available, and the brand supported by each source. Aggregated views reveal which sources recur across tracked answers and where a cited page includes a brand that the answer still does not select.
Inspect the domains and pages cited in tracked AI answers, the brands those sources support, and gaps between source presence and answer selection.
What this helps your team do
Map sources to brands
Understand which tracked brand or competitor a cited source supports in the captured evidence.
Find conversion gaps
Separate presence on a cited page from being selected or mentioned in the resulting answer.
How it works
STEP 01
Capture answer citations
Record cited URLs, domains, and available position or zone data with the response.
STEP 02
Aggregate source patterns
Group recurring domains and pages across prompts, engines, topics, and supported brands.
STEP 03
Evaluate the source opportunity
Review whether the source supports a competitor, includes the tracked brand, or exposes a citation or conversion gap.
Evidence available
- Cited domain and page URL
- Prompt, engine, and captured answer
- Citation position or zone when available
- Supported-brand mapping
- Source and answer-level conversion-gap evidence
Interpretation limits
- Citation availability and formatting differ across AI experiences.
- A source appearing in one answer does not prove it will influence future answers.
- Outreach, content, and source-target recommendations require human review.

Frequently asked questions
Does a cited page guarantee that a brand appears in the answer?
No. Citation intelligence distinguishes source presence from answer selection, including cases where a cited page contains a brand that the answer does not mention.
Are citation fields available for every engine and answer?
No. A2Z Reach records citation fields when they are present in the captured experience; availability and format vary by engine.
