AI Search Mentions page with mention and backlink opportunity data
Use this page to review external AI citation sources through a mentions lens. It helps you separate sources that already mention your brand from sources that still represent an authority gap.

​
Questions this page should answer

  1. Which sources already mention our brand?
  2. Where are we missing backlinks or citation coverage?
  3. Which mention gaps should we prioritize first?

​
Before you analyze

  • Keep the same date range as Citations and Visibility.
  • Start with all platforms before filtering to one engine.
  • Use prompt and topic filters when checking a specific narrative gap.

​
What this page gives you

  • Mention and non-mention source rows from AI citation data.
  • Filters for platform, prompt, topic, and source type.
  • A direct way to spot existing brand coverage versus missing opportunities.

​
How to read mention rows

Read each row as a source opportunity, not just a backlink lead.
  • Source: the domain or page appearing in AI citation context.
  • Mention status: whether your brand is already mentioned.
  • Prompt/topic: where the source appeared.
  • Platform: the AI engine context where the source was observed.
  • Source type: the kind of site or content you may need to influence.
Use this rule:
  • Existing mentions reveal proof patterns worth repeating.
  • Missing mentions on high-value prompts deserve outreach or stronger source-backed content.
  • Missing mentions on low-value prompts should not distract from strategic authority work.

​
How these metrics are calculated (simple)

Use this page with Citations to understand both source presence and brand inclusion.

​
How to use this page

​
Prioritize strategic missing mentions

Missing mentions on high-value prompts matter more than isolated misses on low-value topics. Focus on gaps tied to commercial or high-trust topics first.

​
Check the source type before acting

Editorial, institutional, reference, and corporate sources usually deserve a different outreach or content strategy than UGC sources.

​
Use mention wins as proof patterns

When a source already mentions you, inspect what kind of page or evidence got picked up. That pattern often tells you what to expand next.

​
Quick weekly checklist

  1. Filter to your highest-priority prompt or topic.
  2. Flag sources where competitors are present and you are missing.
  3. Flag strong mention wins worth replicating.
  4. Turn the top 3 gaps into outreach or content proof actions.

​
What to fix first

​
Team routine

  1. Weekly: review high-value missing mentions.
  2. Bi-weekly: turn the best gaps into outreach or proof-building work.
  3. Monthly: compare mention wins with citation share and visibility changes.

​
Keep in mind

  • Not every missing mention is worth chasing.
  • A strong mention on one source does not guarantee broader authority.
  • Use this page with Citations, not instead of Citations.
