See Which Source Domains AI Cites Instead of You
Independent tool. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Google, OpenAI, Perplexity, or Anthropic.
See which source domains AI answer engines cite when they name a competitor instead of your brand, then turn that cited-instead list into a PR, content and placement roadmap.
How the cited-instead list is built
jujuGEO starts with the buyer questions your customers ask, probes the live engines, and records whether the answer names you, names a competitor, or cites a third-party source. When you are absent, the source domains behind that answer become the cited-instead list.
| Question | You | Cited instead |
|---|---|---|
| best AI visibility tracker for a small SEO team | Absent | mention.com, semrush.com, review.example |
| tool that shows competitors cited by AI | Absent | brandwatch.com, g2.example |
| answer-ready content for AI citations | Named | content.example |

Turn cited-instead domains into a roadmap
Some rows point to owned content you should publish or fix. Others point to third-party domains that already shape the answer, which makes them PR, directory, partner, or correction targets. The goal is not to chase every mention; it is to work the sources the engines already use for the questions that affect buyers.
Pair source intelligence with drafted fixes
When the gap is addressable on your own site, jujuGEO drafts the answer-ready content, FAQ and JSON-LD for that question. When the gap depends on outside corroboration, the cited-instead list shows where to focus placement work. See the sample report and the content optimization workflow.
