How to Find Your Top Cited Sources in AmICited

Use the Top cited sources widget on the AmICited dashboard to see which domains AI engines pull from most when answering your prompts — and where your own site ranks among them.

The Top cited sources widget shows the domains AI engines reach for most when they answer your prompts. It’s effectively a leaderboard of the sources you’re competing against for citations — with your own domain marked so you can see where you stand.

Note
The domains ranked above you here are your real citation competitors — not always your business rivals, but always the sources winning the citations you want.

Where to find it

Scroll down the Dashboard to the Top cited sources card, subtitled “Domains AI engines pulled from when answering your prompts.” It’s a numbered list with a bar and a citation count per domain, plus an Open → link to the full Sources view.

What it shows

Each row is a domain ranked by how often it was cited across your tracked prompts. In the example: youtube.com (187), reddit.com (155), dageno.ai (93), amicited.com — you (89), semrush.com (89), arxiv.org (88)… Your own domain carries the you badge, so you can immediately see who’s above and below you.

Why it matters

These are the sources AI engines currently trust for your topics. That tells you two things:

  • The format that wins. If the top sources are community sites (Reddit, YouTube), long-form guides, or research (arXiv), that hints at what the engines favor for your questions.
  • Your real competition. The domains ranked above you are the ones taking the citations you want — not always your business competitors, but always your citation competitors.

How to use it

  1. See your position. Find your you row — how far from the top are you?
  2. Study the leaders. Open a few of the top domains’ cited pages (via the Sources view) to see why they’re being cited, then match or exceed that depth.
  3. Click Open → to drill into the full Sources section, where you can break these down by AI engine, by URL, and over time.
