Citation Outreach Planner

Get cited by AI models

What it does

AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude have their favorite sources. They cite the same 5-10 domains over and over for each topic. Citation Outreach Planner uncovers exactly which sources dominate for your keywords, analyzes why they're cited, and generates ready-to-send outreach templates you can use to get cited by those same sources — and thus become visible in AI answers.

The Problem

AI models cite your competitors — not you.

The Solution

Citation Outreach Planner gives you a complete citation strategy for AI search.

Features

How it works

  1. Enter brand and keywords: Enter brand name, domain, industry and 3-5 keywords you want to be cited for. The tool configures queries for all 4 AI platforms.
  2. AI maps source patterns: The tool sends real queries to Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, collects all cited sources, and builds a complete citation map.
  3. Use outreach templates: Review the prioritized sources, copy the outreach templates, and start your citation campaign. Re-run after 30 days to measure progress.

Use cases

Why use Citation Outreach Planner?

AI citation is the new link building. When ChatGPT recommends a business, it's because the sources the AI model trusts mention that business. This means the path to AI visibility doesn't go through direct optimization of AI models — it goes through the sources they use.

Citation Outreach Planner maps these sources systematically by querying all 4 major AI platforms directly. You see exactly which domains are cited, how many platforms use each source, and what type of content leads to citation. With this insight, you can build targeted relationships with the right sources.

For Nordic businesses, this is an enormous opportunity because few competitors have discovered this strategy yet. While global markets are already competitive in AI citation, the Nordic landscape is open for those who act first. 3-5 successful citation outreach campaigns can change what AI models say about your brand.
