Top Cited Pages

Top Cited Pages shows which URLs are most frequently cited by AI platforms. This reveals the actual content sources AI systems reference when discussing brands—whether your pages, competitor pages, or third-party sources. Pages from your brand are highlighted with a badge.

Quick start

1. Select 30 Days and the target Project

2. Review the top 10 most-cited pages ranked by citation count

3. Use Scope to filter to your brand's pages

4. Click any URL to visit the cited page

Understanding the display

Each row represents a URL that AI platforms have cited as a source. The display shows the page URL, domain, how many conversations cited it, and which platforms provided the citations.

Row structure

Element	Description
Rank number	Position in the top 10 (#1, #2, etc.) based on total citations
URL link	Clickable link to the cited page (opens in new tab)
Domain	The website domain extracted from the URL
Conversations count	Number of unique conversations that cited this page
Your Brand badge	Appears when the URL belongs to your configured brand domains
Platform bars	Citation share percentage per platform
Winner highlight	The platform with highest citation share is highlighted

The percentage shown for each platform represents that platform's share of total citations for the page. If a URL has 20 citations total and Perplexity provided 14 of them, Perplexity shows 70%.

Your Brand badge

Pages from your brand's domains are automatically detected and marked with a "Your Brand" badge. This uses domain matching against your configured brand names in AI Visibility Settings.

What should I do next?

Top cited pages reveal content authority and competitive positioning:

Pattern	Action
Your pages in top 10	Strong content authority. AI platforms trust your content as a source.
Competitor pages dominate	Competitors have more authoritative content. Analyse what they cover.
Third-party sites dominate	Industry publications or review sites are trusted. Consider partnerships or PR.
One page cited repeatedly	This is your most authoritative content. Create similar content.
No brand pages appear	AI doesn't cite your content as a source. Improve content depth and authority.
Technical docs cited	Your documentation is authoritative. Expand technical content.

Using the filters

Scope

The Scope filter controls which citations are included:

Option	Shows
All Citations (default)	All cited pages regardless of brand—competitors, third parties, everyone
Your Brand Mentions	Citations from AI responses that mentioned your brand
Your Brand URLs	Only pages from your brand's domains

Use "All Citations" to see the competitive landscape. Use "Your Brand URLs" to see which of your pages AI platforms cite most.

Provider Position

Filter by where brands appeared in AI responses:

Option	Shows citations from responses where
Mentioned Anywhere (default)	Any brand was mentioned anywhere
Top 3 Recommendations	A brand was in the top 3 recommendations
#1 Recommendation	A brand was the top recommendation

Citation Position

Filter by citation prominence:

Option	Counts
Any Citation (default)	All citations regardless of position
Top 3 Citations	Only citations ranked 1–3 in the response
Primary Citation	Only the first/primary citation

Date range

Option	Best for
Yesterday	Latest citation patterns
7 Days	Recent page performance
30 Days	Trend analysis (default)
90 Days	Quarterly content review
180 Days	Long-term authority analysis

Platform

Filter to citations from a specific AI platform. Perplexity typically generates far more citations than other platforms due to its search-engine architecture.

Reading the results

Ranking logic

Pages are ranked by total citations (highest first), then by unique conversations count. The top 10 most-cited pages appear in the table.

Conversations count

The conversations count shows how many different questions led to this page being cited. A page cited in 15 conversations has broader relevance than one cited 15 times in a single conversation.

Troubleshooting

No cited pages found

The "No Cited Pages Found" message indicates no citation data matches the current filters.

• Expand the date range to capture more data

• Set Scope to "All Citations" to see all cited pages

• Set Citation Position to "Any Citation"

No brand pages appear

If "Your Brand URLs" shows no results but "All Citations" shows data:

• AI platforms cite other sources for your topics—competitor or third-party content

• Your content may lack the depth or authority AI systems look for

• Verify brand names are configured correctly in AI Visibility Settings

FAQ

What determines the top 10 ranking?

Pages are ranked by total citations (highest first), then by unique conversations count as a tiebreaker.

What's the difference between "Your Brand Mentions" and "Your Brand URLs"?

"Your Brand Mentions" shows citations from responses that mentioned your brand—the sources AI used when discussing you. "Your Brand URLs" shows only pages from your own website domains.

Why do citation counts vary across platforms?

Each platform has different citation behaviour based on its architecture and query type. Compare trends within the same platform over time rather than across platforms.

How is "Your Brand" detected for URLs?

The system matches URL domains against your configured brand names using substring matching. If your brand is "Acme Corp", URLs from acmecorp.com would be tagged as "Your Brand".

What's the difference between this and Top Cited Conversations?

Top Cited Conversations shows which questions generate citations. Top Cited Pages shows which URLs get cited—the actual content sources AI platforms reference.

Can I see which conversations cited a specific page?

The conversations count shows how many conversations cited the page. To see specific conversations, use AI Conversation Responses to browse responses that include citations.
