Citation analysis
Find the Sources AI Relies On in Your Category
AI answers lean on a small set of sources. Franixo collects every citation, shows which domains cite your competitors but not you, and ranks the sources worth pursuing.
- Every cited URL and domain, per platform
- Sources that cite competitors but not you
- Opportunities ranked by tier
- Your own pages that AI already cites

Citation gaps
Domains that cite competitors for your prompts but never cite you.
Ranked opportunities
Citation opportunities are scored and grouped into tiers, so the most promising sources come first.
Your cited pages
See which of your own pages AI already cites, and for which questions.

Frequently asked questions
Which platforms provide citations?
Citations come from AI platforms that return sources when they search the web, and from Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Coverage differs by platform.
Does being cited guarantee a mention?
No. A citation shows that a source was used, not that it caused a mention. Franixo shows correlation, never causation.
Are missing citations counted as zero?
No. When a platform returns no citation data, Franixo reports it as missing, not as zero.
How do I act on a citation gap?
Each gap shows the domain, the prompts and the competitors involved. You can turn it into an action and generate a task draft, such as a directory listing.
