Every source
What AI cites, and what it looked at first.
To answer a prompt, an engine runs its own searches, reads a set of pages and links some of them in the answer. Orvio saves both: the cited pages and the pages that were considered but left out.
- Cited pages are the ones buyers can click.
- Considered pages show you were close. Often a small change decides it.

Your own site
See which of your pages AI uses.
Orvio indexes and analyzes your website, then follows every page through the answers. You see your most cited pages, and the pages engines keep finding but rarely cite.
/teams is found 27 times and almost never cited. That’s the page to improve first.
The echo chamber check
Are engines only quoting you about you?
When most of the citations about your brand come from your own website, engines are repeating your claims instead of hearing them from others. Orvio calls this an echo chamber and flags it.
A healthier mix includes review sites, communities and publishers that engines already trust in your market.

Sources by engine
Each engine has its favorite sources.
ChatGPT, AI Overviews and AI Mode don’t read the same web. See the most cited domains for each engine, so you know where a placement will count, and where an engine has a gap you can fill.
Source gaps
Pages that cite competitors, not you.
Orvio finds the cited pages that name your competitors and leave you out: listicles, reviews and threads that engines already rely on for your prompts. These are the placements worth going after.
Each of these pages is cited often for your prompts and never mentions Brightdesk.
From sources to actions
Know what to do next.
Orvio turns source data into recommendations: where to get listed, which page to improve, and when to earn coverage outside your own site. Each one links to the answers and sources behind it.

FAQ
Questions about source analysis.
Anything else, book a 30 minute call and we’ll walk through your market with you.

Do you analyze my own website?
Yes. Orvio indexes and analyzes your site, so every citation or consideration of one of your pages is matched to that page.
