How to See Which AI Engine Cites Which Source in AmICited

Not every AI engine trusts the same sources. The Cited by provider heatmap shows exactly how many times each engine cited each of your top sources — so you can see which sites shape which model’s answers.

Where to find it

It’s the Cited by provider table on the Sources page, subtitled “How many times each AI engine cited your top domains across all tracked prompts.”

How to read it

• Each row is a source (a domain, or a page in By-URL view); your own domain is flagged you.
• Each engine has a column — Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, ChatGPT — with a shaded cell showing the citation count.
• Cell darkness encodes volume (a “fewer → more” gradient legend explains it).
• Total sums a source’s citations across engines; Web Vitals and a 14-day sparkline add page-health and recent-trend context.

How to use it

1. Find each engine’s favorites. Scan a column top-to-bottom to see which sources that model leans on most.
2. See where you stand. Locate your you row — which engines cite you, and which don’t cite you at all.
3. Target your weak engine. A blank cell in your row under one engine is a specific, addressable gap.
4. Study the leaders. The darkest rows are the sources dominating your topic — the pages to learn from or outdo.

Use the By domain / By URL toggle to flip between whole domains and individual pages (covered in its own guide).
