Citation ladder lookup

The sources AI answers cite, and where you sit

When an AI answer leans on a source, that is a citation. We already published the measurement, so this looks your domain up in it instead of running anything new. No wait, no sign-in.

1,088 domains that were cited exactly once Measured 2026-07-27

One domain. No account needed.

First, a screen we measured ourselves

1,088 domains that were cited exactly once

  • cited exactly once 1,088 domains
  • cited more than once 899 domains
  • seen on one surface only 1,390 domains

More than half the domains that got cited at all were cited once. A single appearance is not a position, and you cannot tell the two apart from a screenshot of one good answer.

What was measured

We have not put up a list for the US market yet. The ones up today are the Japanese market and the Korean market. Why not yet: single pass per query — 50 valid observations on the widest surface against the 343 that back the KR and JP ladders. Publishing a ladder on this sample would put a seven-times-smaller denominator under the same heading. What it takes: re-run the same 50-query US panel with 7 repeats per query on one surface, as KR and JP were measured.

What moves first

Citations come from the pages on a domain, not from one page. Check whether your writing is shaped to be lifted before you chase the list.

Where free ends

The whole list is on screen, nothing held back. What we sell is deciding what to fix, in what order, to get onto it — and doing the fixing.

Start the free check here

One minute, no card, no meeting. Three questions are on us — write the ones your buyers would put to an AI, and we run them exactly as you wrote them and mail you the results page.

Each question goes to 6 AI answer surfaces. Send 3 and that is 18 observations in all, and we count how many of them came back with your name.

One question is enough to start.

We start from what a marketing chief asks first.
