Source Attribution

Every AI mention traced back to its source

See exactly which URLs, domains, and content pieces are driving your brand mentions in AI search. Know what is working, what is not, and where to focus your content efforts.

Trusted by 150+ brands

You know you are mentioned.
But you don't know why.

Tracking whether AI mentions your brand is only half the picture. The real question is: what content is driving those mentions? Which pages does ChatGPT pull from when it recommends you? Which third-party sites are influencing your position?

Without source attribution, you are optimizing blind. You might invest in content that AI models never reference while ignoring the Reddit thread or niche review site that actually drives your visibility.

How it works

From content to mention.
The full chain, mapped.

We trace citations to specific URLs across all types of domains: editorial sites, forums like Reddit, review platforms, documentation sites, your own website, and more.

Backlink tools show what links to your site. Source attribution shows what AI models reference when they mention your brand. These are different datasets, and the overlap is surprisingly small.
