AI Tracker's Sources Dashboard gives you a behind-the-scenes look at where your AI content is pulling information from. It helps you monitor how often specific domains and URLs are being cited by large language models (LLMs), giving you greater transparency and control over your AI-generated content.
Whether you're tracking trusted domains, verifying citations, or simply curious about which sources appear most often, this dashboard is your go-to. ✨
While not part of the metric, at the top of the dashboard, you'll find the time and AI filters, which let you narrow down results based on when the AI-generated responses were created and analyze how different models use various sources in a given time period.
This is especially useful if you're testing or comparing output across different models and when you want to spot trends or check citations within a specific timeframe.
Note: You can only select dates from the date the project was made until it was last refreshed. This means that if your project is yet to be refreshed today, you won't be able to pick and choose today's date from the filter.
You can click the i icon next to your project title to check when it was last refreshed.
Your AI Tracker projects refresh daily, around the same time you created your AI Tracker project.
You'll see four key metrics in the Sources Dashboard.
Domains: These are the unique domains found in LLM-generated responses. Take surferseo.com , for example.
URLs: These are unique individual pages found in the responses, or your actual links. For example, https://surferseo.com/blog/next-phase-of-search/.
Times shown: These are the number of times that a specific URL appears across all responses. In short, how often does the AI cite a link?
Confidence Score: This measures how consistent the AI models are when referencing a source across repeated queries. A higher confidence score means the model repeatedly cites that source when asked similar questions, indicating stronger reliability and self-consistency.
By default, sources are listed in descending order based on the number of Times shown, being the most frequently mentioned ones first.
However, if you're looking for a more organized view, you can simply toggle the 'Group by domain' button to group all URLs under their respective root domains. When this view is enabled, you’ll notice:
URLs are nested under their respective domains.
An extra column for URLs appears, so you can see exactly which pages contributed to the domain's reference count.
This helps you quickly assess whether a specific site (like surferseo.com) is a major source, and exactly which of its pages the AI is referencing. You can switch back to the default view any time by toggling the button off. 🔂
You can also download the analysis as a .CSV format by clicking the Export button found on the top right corner of the dashboard.
Additionally, you can share a view-only access to your AI Tracker report. Perfect for sharing wins with your team or clients to keep them updated on your visibility progress.
Trying to locate a specific URL or domain? Just head over to the Search tab in the dashboard. It's the fastest way to find a source you're tracking or curious about.
Whether you're checking if a certain page is being cited or looking for mentions of a domain, the search functionality saves time and effort from scrolling down across multiple URLs.
