By engineeach engine leans on different sources.

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.

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.

Echo chamberMost citations about Brightdesk come from its own website. Engines are mostly repeating what you say about yourself.

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.

FAQ

Questions about source analysis.

Anything else, book a 30 minute call and we’ll walk through your market with you.

What is the difference between cited and considered?

Cited pages are linked in the answer as sources. Considered pages appeared in the searches the engine ran to build the answer, but were not cited. A page that is often considered and rarely cited is usually close to winning.

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.

What is an echo chamber?

When most of the citations about your brand come from your own website. Engines are then repeating your claims rather than hearing about you from review sites, communities or publishers.

Which engines are included?

The engines you track: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Starter and Growth include three of your choice, Pro four.
