Source intelligence

AI citation tracking. Follow the sources.

AI citation tracking shows which websites and pages are linked in monitored AI answers. Lastfind connects those sources to the questions and brands around them, helping you choose where to focus your content research.

Find cited websites and pages

Explore domains and individual URLs across the answers you track. See where your own site appears and which other sources recur in relevant conversations.

Connect a source to its context

Open the prompt and answer behind a citation. Understand whether the source appears in a buying comparison, a definition or a question about a specific need.

Keep different evidence distinct

Review cited links separately from reported consulted sources. This helps you understand what is visible in the answer and what additional source evidence is available.

Use citations to guide research

See what a cited page helps explain.

A list of domains is a starting point. The useful next step is to read the cited page and the answer together: what question does the page address, how specific is its information and where does your own content leave a gap?

This research can inform product pages, educational content and relevant editorial outreach. A frequently cited site deserves investigation; its presence alone does not establish why the model selected it.

Understanding AI citations and sources

What is the difference between a brand mention and a citation?

A mention is a reference to a brand in the answer’s text. A citation is a linked source. Your brand can be mentioned without a link to your site, and your site can be cited in an answer that does not discuss your brand.

Are cited sources the same as consulted sources?

Cited sources are links shown with an answer. Consulted-source evidence reports additional sources made available during the response process when that information is provided. A citation list is not a complete record of everything a model may have consulted.

Does a citation prove that a page caused the answer?

A citation connects a source to the answer, but it does not reveal the model’s full reasoning or show how much that page influenced the answer. Read the page and answer together before making a content decision.

Can source research help my brand get cited?

It can reveal questions, formats and information worth addressing in your content. Use it to make your pages more useful and well supported. Publishing on a cited topic or earning a link does not guarantee an AI citation.
