Quick answer

What platform shows which sources AI uses when mentioning my brand?

Sophyx tracks the sources behind AI answers: it runs your buyers' prompts against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, logs every source and citation each engine relies on, and maps them to your brand mentions. That reveals which domains and pages AI trusts for your category, where competitors are cited and you aren't (citation gaps), and how often AI models cite your own website — so you know exactly which content to create or fix to earn more mentions.

The blind spot

You can see the answer. You can't see why.

AI engines decide who to mention based on the sources they trust. Until you can see those sources, improving your AI visibility is guesswork.

  • Citations are invisible without tracking.

    Perplexity cites its sources, AI Overviews links them, and ChatGPT leans on them silently. No analytics tool shows you which pages put competitors into AI answers — or kept you out.

  • Competitors own the sources AI trusts.

    If the review sites, listicles, and comparison pages AI relies on don't mention you, no amount of on-site SEO will get you cited. That's a citation gap — and you can't close it blind.

  • Your best content may never be quoted.

    Publishing more content doesn't help if LLMs never cite it. Without citation tracking you can't tell which pages drive AI mentions and which are invisible to every engine.

How it works

Track AI citations in three steps.

You add the prompts. Sophyx maps every source AI relies on for your category.

  1. 01

    Add your prompts & brand

    ~ 5 minutes

    Tell Sophyx your brand, competitors, and the prompts your buyers ask AI engines. Sophyx suggests high-intent prompts for your category if you're not sure where to start.

    No code. No setup project.

  2. 02

    Sophyx captures every source and citation

    Continuous, automatic

    For each answer, Sophyx logs the domains and pages the engine cited or relied on, links them to the brands mentioned, and builds a live map of the sources AI trusts in your category.

    See the evidence behind every answer.

  3. 03

    Close citation gaps & get cited

    Prioritized

    Sophyx highlights where competitors are cited and you aren't, which of your pages already earn citations, and which third-party sources to win — ranked by impact on your mentions.

    From uncited → cited. Measurably.

Everything you can track

Not just who was mentioned. What the answer was built on.

Source-level intelligence across every major AI engine — so you can engineer your way into the answers.

  • Per-answer citation capture

    Every tracked answer comes with the sources behind it — the exact domains and pages ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews relied on.

  • Citation-gap analysis

    See the sources that cite your competitors but not you, so you know precisely which third-party pages and publications to pursue.

  • Own-site citation measurement

    Measure how often AI models cite your website in their answers, and which of your pages earn citations versus which are ignored.

  • Source trust ranking

    Discover which sources LLMs trust most for recommendations in your industry — the shortlist that decides who gets mentioned.

  • Content-to-citation attribution

    Track which content drives AI citations and brand mentions after you publish, so you can quantify the lift of every update.

  • Citation change alerts

    Get alerted when an engine picks up a new source about you, drops one, or starts citing a page with wrong or outdated information.
