Citation Gap Analyzer
What it does
Queries ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude about your industry, mapping third-party sources they cite. Shows exactly where your brand is cited — and where you're missing.
AI models cite sources your competitors are on
When AI platforms recommend solutions, they pull from specific third-party sources. If your competitors are cited on these sources and you're not, you lose AI visibility without knowing it.
- No visibility into which sources AI models actually pull from
- Competitors appear in AI answers because they're cited on the right sources
- Impossible to prioritize outreach without knowing which sources matter
- Different AI platforms use different source sets — no manual way to map this

Why use Citation Gap Analyzer?
AI platforms don't cite randomly — they pull from specific third-party sources like review sites, industry directories and trade publications. Being present on these sources is the most direct path to getting recommended in AI answers.
Without Citation Gap Analyzer, you're guessing blindly about which sources matter. The tool reveals the actual source ecosystem behind each AI answer, so you can prioritize outreach toward the sources with the greatest impact.
