How to Read Your Sources Overview Stats in AmICited

Understand the overview stats at the top of the AmICited Sources page — Citations, Domains, URLs cited, Your pages, External and New per week — to see the whole landscape of what AI engines pull from.

2 min read · High priority

The Sources page shows every domain and page AI engines pulled from when answering your tracked prompts. The stats bar at the top summarizes that whole landscape in a handful of numbers.

Tip
Compare Your pages against External. A tiny “Your pages” number next to a large “External” one means AI engines are building answers about you almost entirely from other people’s content — your cue to publish more citable pages.

Where to find it

It’s the row of stats directly under the Sources page title, which explains the page’s purpose: “Every domain and page AI engines pulled from when answering your tracked prompts — so you know who shapes what the models say about [your domain].”

What each stat means

  • Citations — the total number of source citations across all your tracked prompts.
  • Domains — how many distinct domains have been cited.
  • URLs cited — how many distinct pages have been cited.
  • Your pages — how many of those cited pages are on your own domain.
  • External — how many are on other domains.
  • New / wk — how many new sources appeared in the last week (a freshness signal).

How to use it

  1. Gauge your footprint. Your pages ÷ URLs cited tells you what share of the cited web, for your topics, is actually yours.
  2. Watch New / wk. A steady stream of new sources means the topic is active and the source set is worth revisiting.
  3. Set the scope. Like everything on the page, these numbers respect the top filters (AI model, country, date), so narrow them to focus on one engine or period.

The stats are the summary; the charts and tables below them show which domains and pages make up the picture.
