Sources and URL citations

What this page reveals

When Perplexity, Google AIO and ChatGPT (in search mode) build a response, they cite sources — typically as clickable links at the end of the response. PivotSEO parses these citations and compiles the most frequently cited URLs in your market. It's a strategic goldmine: these URLs are the authority sources the AIs have chosen.

Table columns

• URL: the cited source address (clickable).
• Domain: automatic extraction (facilitates groupings by site).
• Citation count: how many times this URL was cited in your scans.
• Engines concerned: which engines cite it (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.).
• Associated prompts: on which prompts this URL appears.

How to exploit this data

• Identify publications to target: if Reddit /r/personalfinance often appears on mortgage keywords, create an editorial presence there (documented responses on your topics).
• Detect authority media: an article from the Journal de Montréal cited on 10 prompts? Build media relations with them.
• Compare to competitors: cross-reference URLs cited when you're mentioned vs when it's a competitor. Differences reveal their sources of strength.
• Backlink opportunities: domains citing your competitors but not you are priority targets for link building.
