See which sources AI engines trust in your category
Citation Intelligence reads every source the five AI engines cite in your tracked answers, sorts each one into a category, shows who owns it, and flags the sources that back your competitors but not you.
Free. Just your email, no card and no account.What is Citation Intelligence?
When an AI engine answers a buyer's question, it often lists the pages it drew on. Citation Intelligence collects those sources from every answer Adviora tracks, groups them into ten categories, marks each one as yours, a competitor's or a third party's, and shows where competitors are backed by sources that never mention you.
Branded web mentions were the strongest correlate of brand visibility in Google's AI Overviews, across 75,000 brands.

Every cited domain is sorted into one of ten categories, so you can see whether engines in your category prefer review sites, forums, publishers or brand sites.
- Ten categories, from review platforms and forums to publishers, marketplaces and public bodies
- Citation rate and citation share for every domain and category
- Correct a category by hand when it looks wrong
Find the sources that back competitors, not you
Each cited source is marked as yours, a competitor's or a third party's. Where a source supports a competitor in an answer and says nothing about you, it counts toward your competitor gap.
- Your own pages, competitor domains and third-party sources, side by side
- Competitor gap rate for every source
- Filter by engine, country, prompt group and date range
See which sources you won, and which you lost
Compare any two points in time to see which domains and pages started or stopped being cited.
- Domains and URLs newly cited, or no longer cited
- Spot a lost review listing or a new forum thread early
- Page-level URLs where the engine provides them
How Citation Intelligence works
- Step 1
Ask
Your tracked prompts run on all five AI engines.
- Step 2
Collect
Every source each engine cites is stored and cleaned up.
- Step 3
Classify
Each domain gets a category and an owner automatically.
- Step 4
Act
Target the sources that back competitors and not you.
Each analysis run refreshes every report. Your plan sets how many runs you get each month. How we score.
What each number means
| Metric | What it measures | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Citation rate | Share of answers that cite a domain or category | Rising for a competitor's domain? Find out what that page has that yours doesn't. |
| Citation share | A domain's share of all citations in scope | Shows which sources dominate your category. |
| Competitor gap rate | Share of answers where a source backs a competitor and not you | Start outreach with the highest-gap sources. |
| Gained and lost | Sources newly cited, or no longer cited, in a period | Investigate losses quickly; they often follow a page change. |
