How it works
Pick a category and enter a representative query. The tool returns the 10 domains that dominate AI citations for that category, ranks them by simulated citation rate, and tiers them by domain authority.
Why the canon matters
- The assistants trust a small pool of category sources - if you're not on that list, you won't earn citations no matter how good your content is.
- The fastest way to earn AI citations is to get quoted by a domain that's already in the canon - guest posts, PR placements and interviews pay back 3x faster than new content on your own site.
- Category canons update every 6-12 months - the ones who show up early get grandfathered into the trust graph.
Turn the canon into a plan
Use the Citation Opportunity Finder to prioritise which canon domains to target first, and the Source Authority Checker to confirm each one's authority tier.
