Workflows

Find the citations competitors keep winning

Find which competitors earn citations, where they win them, and what content or authority moves should come next.

Built for source-level AI search analysis

Best for teams that already track AI visibility and now need a narrower, source-level view of why competitors get referenced more often.

Citation priorities

Move from missing references to a focused recovery plan

This workflow helps teams isolate the prompts, sources, and page gaps behind missed citations so the next response is more targeted.

Diagnose where citations are being lost

See which competitors and source types appear most often where your brand should already be cited.

Produce a tighter source-gap view

Turn scattered competitor references into a structured picture the team can analyze without guesswork.

Prioritize publishing and authority work

Use the gap analysis to decide what to create, update, support, or monitor next.

Competitive trigger

Run it when competitors keep earning the references you miss

This workflow is most useful when answer visibility feels source-driven and the team needs to know which competitors, pages, or references are doing the work.

Source-level analysis

Look beyond visibility and inspect what supports the answer

The point is not just seeing that a competitor appears. It is identifying the source patterns, page types, and supporting references behind the citation advantage.

Publishing response

Turn citation losses into clearer content and authority moves

A strong output gives the team a short list of pages to strengthen, sources to pursue, and prompt clusters that deserve closer follow-through.

Workflow output

Designed for teams closing citation gaps, not just finding them

The value of this workflow is not the spreadsheet. It is the clarity it creates around which source and content actions deserve the next investment.

Usually owned by search, SEO, or content strategy teams that need to explain missed citations and direct the next publishing move.
