Planning & Templates
AI Citation Planner
Prioritize cited sources by how often assistants use them and how difficult each placement is to land.
List the sources you could realistically earn a mention on, then rate each one from 1 to 5.
Cited: how often assistants already cite this source for your topic — use the AI Citation Source Radar to find out. Fit: how well its audience matches your buyer. Hard: how difficult a placement is to earn.
Why prioritise at all
Assistants do not cite the whole web evenly. For any given topic a small set of sources gets reached for again and again. Earning a mention on one of those is worth more than a dozen mentions elsewhere — and the list is different for every topic.
How the score works
Citation frequency is weighted heaviest, audience fit next, and difficulty is inverted so an easy, frequently-cited, well-matched source rises to the top. It is a prioritisation heuristic, not a measurement.
What this will not do
- It will not tell you to buy placements. Paid links and paid mentions on review sites are a different game with different risks.
- It will not replace judgement about whether you genuinely belong on a list. Earning a place you do not deserve does not survive scrutiny.
