Citation analysis

Find the sources AI trusts.

AI engines lean on the sites they trust: reviews, communities, directories, comparisons. Mentioned ranks every domain they cite in your category and flags the ones that mention your competitors but never you.

[02]How it works

A closer look, step by step.

01 · Gaps

The sites that recommend your rivals, not you.

A gap domain is a site cited in answers that name your tracked competitors but never in answers that mention you. It’s usually the fastest place to earn a listing, a review or a mention.

  • Ranked by how often they’re cited

02 · Your site

See which of your pages engines quote.

When engines cite your site, it shows up here — so you know which pages are doing the work, and which prompts they win.

03 · Act

Every gap becomes a target.

Gap domains become citation targets you can work through: which engines cite them, which competitors they name, and where you are — from first contact to a listing.

  • New → contacted → listed → won
  • Competitors each site names
  • Notes for the team

  • g2.comContacted31 citations · names Fieldline, Kestrel, not you
  • capterra.comListed14 citations · names Fieldline, not you
  • reddit.comNew24 citations · names Kestrel, not you
  • salesblog.exampleWon9 citations · names Fieldline, not you

[04]FAQ

Good questions.

More detail in the methodology and API docs.

What is a gap domain?

A site cited in answers that recommend your tracked competitors but never in answers that mention you. These are prime targets for listings, reviews, guest content or corrections.

Where do the citations come from?

From the sources each engine returns with its web-search answer. Engines differ in how many sources they return and how they format them.

Does a citation mean the site recommended a competitor?

Not necessarily. It means the engine used that source in an answer that recommended a competitor. Open the answer to see the context.
