The Recent citations feed is your live activity log — the most recent moments an AI engine cited your brand, with enough detail to see exactly what was cited, where, and how prominently.

The Recent citations feed on the AmICited dashboard

Tip
The #:~:text= fragment in each source URL is the exact sentence the AI engine quoted from your page. Content that gets quoted verbatim is worth producing more of.

Where to find it

Scroll down the Dashboard to the Recent citations card, subtitled “Latest times your brand was cited by an AI provider.” A View all → link opens the complete history.

What each row shows

The feed is a table with a column for each detail:

  • Source — the title of the cited page and its URL. The URL often includes a text fragment (#:~:text=…), which is the exact snippet the AI engine quoted from your page.
  • By platform — the domain that was cited (your brand).
  • Platform — which AI engine produced the citation (e.g. Gemini).
  • Rank — the position your source held in that answer (e.g. #1, #6). Lower is better.
  • Cited — the date and time it happened (e.g. Jul 7, 2:35 PM).

How to use it

  1. See what’s actually being quoted. The text-fragment links are gold — they show the precise sentences AI engines are lifting from your pages. Content that gets quoted verbatim is content worth producing more of.
  2. Spot your best pages. If the same URL keeps appearing near the top of the feed, that page is pulling weight — consider expanding it or modelling new content on it.
  3. Watch rank quality. A feed full of #1#3 ranks means you’re being cited prominently; lots of high numbers means you’re being mentioned but buried.
  4. Click View all → for the full, filterable citation history.
