- Where are the gaps? If competitor domains are cited frequently for topics you cover, your content may need improvement.
- What content types does AI prefer? Compare citation rates across source categories to understand what AI providers tend to reference.
- Which pages should you optimize? Pages already being cited are good candidates for further optimization to increase their influence.
