Citations

The sources AI engines lean on when they answer about your category, and the ones you need to be present on.

When an AI engine answers a question about your category, it leans on sources. Citations shows you which ones: the domains that keep coming back in those answers, how often, and with how much weight. Three figures open the page — “Sources distinctes”, “Extraits verbatim” and the “Ta boutique” share.

What to do with it

This is the real point of the screen. These domains are the ground the AI builds its view of your category on. If a comparison site, a specialist publication or a marketplace shows up answer after answer and you are absent from it, you don’t have a content problem on your own site — you have a placement to go and win on theirs. That is why the panel is called “Tes cibles PR”: it ranks the 5 most influential third-party domains, in the order they deserve your attention. The “Répartition des citations” donut gives you the same picture by volume.

Reading the table

  • Consistance: how reliably the domain reappears from one answer to the next. Highly consistent means it’s close to a mandatory stop in your category.
  • Prompts: how many different questions it surfaces on. Broad means it covers your whole subject; narrow means it’s strong on one specific angle.
  • Influence: the domain’s overall weight in the answers. The table already arrives sorted on this column.
  • Mentions: raw citation volume.
  • The table goes up to 30 domains.
  • “Vue :” switches between “Par domaine” and “Par type de page”. The first tells you where to go, the second which page format AI prefers to cite (product page, article, marketplace...). That page-type classification is automatic and approximate, so read it as a tendency.
  • There is no export and no per-citation drill-down on this screen.

The “Ta boutique” share depends on a connected store

This figure is computed from the domain of the Shopify store you connected. With no store connected it reads 0%, even when your site genuinely is cited in the answers. Connect the store before drawing any conclusion from that number.
