How to Switch Between Domain and URL Views in AmICited

Use the By domain / By URL toggle on the AmICited Sources page to switch between seeing whole domains and individual pages — so you can zoom from 'which sites' to 'which exact pages' get cited.

The same citation data answers two different questions: which sites shape AI answers, and which exact pages do. The By domain / By URL toggle flips your Sources views between the two.

Tip
Start in By domain to find the sites that matter, then switch to By URL to pinpoint the single pages doing the work — those specific URLs are your real content benchmarks.

Where to find it

The By domain / By URL toggle sits in the top-right of both the Cited by provider table and the All sources table on the Sources page.

What each view shows

  • By domain — each row is a whole site (e.g. reddit.com), aggregating all its cited pages. Best for seeing the competitive landscape at a site level.
  • By URL — each row is a single page (e.g. reddit.com/r/...), so you see the exact articles being cited. Best for content benchmarking.

Everything else — the per-engine heatmap columns, totals and sparklines — stays the same; only the grain of the rows changes.

How to use it

  1. Zoom out with By domain to answer “who are my citation competitors?”
  2. Zoom in with By URL to answer “which pages are winning the citations, and what do they do well?”
  3. Benchmark against real pages. In By URL, open a top-cited page and compare it to your own with the prompt-level Compare a URL tool.
  4. Watch your own pages. In By URL you can see exactly which of your URLs are getting cited — and which of your important pages aren’t.
