How to Use the Domain Semantic Map in AmICited
A guide to the Domain Semantic Map on the AmICited dashboard — how the prompts, fan-out queries and page titles cluster together, what the points and colors mean, and how to explore it to find topic gaps.
The Domain Semantic Map puts everything AmICited knows about your topic space into a single picture: all your prompts, the fan-out queries AI engines expand them into, and the titles of the URLs that get cited — laid out so that semantically related items sit near each other.

Where to find it
Scroll down the Dashboard to the Domain semantic map card. The header shows when it was last generated, plus a Regenerate button and a fullscreen icon. If the underlying data changed recently you may see “Updating the map — showing the previous result until it is ready.”
What you’re looking at
Each point is one item, and its type is shown by the toggles above the map:
- Prompts — the questions you track.
- Fan-out queries — the many sub-queries AI engines break a prompt into when researching an answer.
- Page titles — the titles of the URLs that were cited.
Points that are close together are semantically similar; the lines show relationships between them. Dense clusters are topics with a lot of activity; lonely points on the edges are niche or outlying themes.
How to explore it
- Toggle the layers on and off (Prompts / Fan-out queries / Page titles) to focus on one kind of item at a time.
- Scroll to zoom, drag to pan, and click a cluster label to focus on a region — the on-map hint spells this out.
- Click any point to open its detail page — for a prompt, that’s its full performance view.
- Use the domain list on the right to color and locate specific domains on the map (covered in its own guide).
The note “Top 8 domains by citations are colored; the rest are gray” explains the coloring, and a line such as “Skipped N cited pages that could not be fetched or read” tells you how many sources couldn’t be included.
How to use it
- Spot topic clusters where lots of fan-out queries gather — these are the themes AI engines care about most in your space.
- Find gaps where competitors’ page titles cluster but yours don’t — content opportunities.
- Regenerate after major content changes to see how your footprint on the map shifts.
