Third-party citations

Third-party citations are the editorial and publisher pages an AI engine references: listicles, comparisons, alternatives pages, reviews and news. You cannot publish them and you cannot post on them, so this is the channel you have to earn.

The problem

Everyone knows "get in the listicles" is part of AEO. Almost nobody knows which listicles, on which domains, are the ones engines actually cite in their category.

Outreach without that list is a spray. You pitch the publications you have heard of rather than the pages that are already feeding the answers your buyers see.

How it works

  1. Publisher citations get their own view

    Separated from your own domain and from community sources, so the outreach list is not buried in a mixed link dump.

  2. Every domain is classified by type

    News media, industry blog, directory or aggregator, affiliate comparison, competitor product, official vendor. A competitor's own page being cited is a very different problem from a neutral publisher citing them.

  3. Every page is classified by type

    Listicle, comparison, alternatives list, review, pricing, landing page, blog post, news article, press release or docs. Now the outreach list is sorted by the format you actually need to appear in.

  4. Export the target list

    CSV export of every third-party URL, ready for whoever runs outreach or PR.

What you see

Who it's for. Anyone running PR, outreach or partnerships who needs a target list based on what engines cite, rather than on domain authority or a media kit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a domain type and a page type?

Domain type is what kind of site it is, such as news media or an affiliate comparison site. Page type is what kind of page, such as a listicle or an alternatives list. You usually need both to decide whether a placement is worth pursuing.

Why does it matter that a competitor's own page was cited?

Because it is not an outreach target, it is a competitive problem. Separating "competitor-product" from neutral publishers stops the two being confused.

Does this tell me who to pitch?

It tells you which pages engines already cite in your category, classified by format. That is the input to a pitch list; the pitching is still yours to do.

Can I export it?

Yes, the whole third-party list exports to CSV.
