166 LINKSThe answer engine era
Search has changed: who is teaching AI about you?
People used to search Google and click through a list of links. Now they ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini a question like "What is the best option for me?" and get one ready-made answer, backed by a few websites it quotes as proof.
That is the answer engine era: AI tools are no longer showing people where to look - they are deciding what to say. Being visible now means being in the sources the AI trusts, an approach known as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).
An AI citation audit shows you exactly which websites, review sites, forums and articles the AI reads before it talks about your brand. aimentionz maps those sources for you, so you know where to show up next.
Where AI gets its facts
Your own pages
Blog posts, product pages and guides AI quotes directly.
Review sites
Directories and comparison sites that rank the options.
Publications
News and industry media the models treat as trusted.
Communities
Forums and threads where real customers share opinions.
Citation gap
Citation gaps
See where competitors get cited and you don't
Put your citations side by side with a competitor's. The empty slots show the exact sites AI uses to recommend them, but never mentions you on.
Each gap is a clear next step: a review site to get listed on, an article to get featured in or a thread to join.
Two reports
Your pages vs. the rest of the web
To give you the full picture, aimentionz splits your citations into two simple reports.
Report 1: Which of your pages does AI cite?
Is AI quoting your homepage, a recent blog post or an old help article? This report lists every page on your own website that ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants use as a reference.
| Source | Type | Cited by | Share of citations | Answers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
/ Homepage | Product | GPT · Gemini · Claude | 38% | 5 |
/guides/ai-search/ Guide | Guide | GPT · Perplexity | 24% | 3 |
/pricing/ Pricing | Product | GPT · Gemini | 18% | 2 |
/services/content-strategy/ Service | Service | Perplexity | 12% | 1 |
/case-studies/ Proof | Proof | Claude | 8% | 1 |
Report 2: Which outside websites does AI cite?
You don't control every story told about you. When AI answers questions about your brand or category, it pulls from review sites, forums and articles. This report shows which ones it relies on most.
| Source | Type | Cited by | Share of citations | Answers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
g2.com Reviews & comparisons | Review | GPT · Gemini · Claude | 3.4% | 5 |

From data to action
How to use citation tracking to grow
Knowing where AI gets its facts is only half the job. Here is how marketing and SEO teams turn citation data into results, whatever you sell.
Write content AI wants to quote
Classic SEO is about ranking in search results. AI optimisation is about getting into the sources AI learns from. See which outside sites are cited most in your category, then focus your outreach, guest posts and content on the places that actually move your visibility.
Fix wrong answers at the source
If ChatGPT or Gemini keeps getting your pricing or features wrong, the fix starts with the page feeding it. We trace each wrong answer back to the outdated review, listing or forum post behind it, so you can get it corrected.
Win at Answer Engine Optimization
Winning in AEO means showing up across the sites AI trusts most. Tracking your citations over time shows the real return on your content and PR work, as it turns into more AI recommendations.
