# Sources

> Investigate which domains, URLs, and cited examples are shaping AI answers in your tracked prompt set

The Sources page helps you understand which websites are influencing AI-generated answers.

This is where citation data becomes actionable. Instead of only seeing that visibility changed, you can see **which domains and pages may be driving that change**.

## When this page is most useful

Use Sources when you want to:

* understand why visibility moved
* see whether your own site is being cited often enough
* identify publishers, forums, reference sites, or competitors shaping answers
* find content and authority gaps you may want to address

## Tabs

### Domains

The default tab shows cited root domains.

| Column      | What it helps you understand                           |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Domain      | Which site is being cited                              |
| Source type | What kind of source it is                              |
| Citations   | How often it appears                                   |
| Share       | How much of the total citation landscape it represents |
| Models      | Which providers cite it                                |

Above the table, Beeze highlights the top domains and source-type mix so you can spot patterns quickly.

Start here when you want a high-level view of who is influencing answers in your space.

### URLs

The URLs tab breaks a domain down into specific pages.

This is useful when you want to answer questions like:

* which page on a site is getting cited
* whether one article or landing page is carrying most of the visibility
* which content formats seem to perform best in AI answers

If you open this tab from a domain, Beeze keeps the analysis focused on that source.

### Chats

The Chats tab shows the actual tracked answers that cited a selected domain.

Use it when you need to confirm:

* how the citation was used
* which prompts triggered it
* whether the source was central to the answer or only mentioned briefly

This is often the final step when you want evidence before changing content or reporting a finding.

## Source types

Beeze groups sources into broad categories so it is easier to interpret the mix of citations.

| Type          | Examples                                      |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Institutional | Government, university, or official sites     |
| Corporate     | Company-owned sites                           |
| Editorial     | Publishers, blogs, and magazines              |
| Own brand     | Domains that belong to your tracked brand     |
| Reference     | Encyclopedias and similar reference sources   |
| UGC           | Forums, review sites, and community platforms |
| Competitor    | Domains mapped to tracked competitors         |
| Other         | Sources that do not fit another category      |

These labels help you distinguish authority patterns at a glance.

## Filters

| Filter     | Why you would use it                        |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Tags       | Focus on a campaign, topic, or funnel stage |
| Model      | See how one provider cites sources          |
| Country    | Compare citation patterns by market         |
| Project    | Switch between brands or sites              |
| Date range | Review a specific period                    |

When you are in **Chats**, Beeze keeps the source focus while hiding filters that do not apply there.

## A practical investigation workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start in domains">See which sites matter most across your tracked prompts.</Step>
  <Step title="Drill into URLs">Find the specific pages behind those citations.</Step>
  <Step title="Verify in chats">Confirm how those pages were used in real answers.</Step>
</Steps>

This flow is usually the fastest way to turn citation data into content or authority decisions.
