The top 1000 domain exits I quoted in chat conversation and searched Ahrefs brand radar.
To find out if the site is willing to accept tone, I did one of two things:
1. Performed “by” website search in Google
I searched the Google website for the word “by” to see if the publisher accepted it from brand in the past.
Obviously, it is not “according to” every instance of the phrase giving way to PR mentions.
However, overall, if the publisher does quote external sources, then this is a good term to find these mentions.
I only include brand Already mentioned. If a publication cited a university or research institution (not a brand), I missed it.
2. Examination of evidence on publisher’s website
If things are not clear yet, I will confirm the recognition of the tone on the website’s media, editorial and contact pages.
While media targeting media that dominates citation volumes is smart, it is more important to get coverage in credible areas related to your audience and niche.
AI systems prioritize context-related information, so features performed on industry-friendly websites are more weight than those that appear in large but less relevant publications.
You can find two ways Visible And very tall Related.
1. Citation publisher that cites your competitors
Find publications that usually mention your competitors, but not you.
Simply head to Ahrefs branded radar, navigate to the “Reference Domain” report, and configure filters to find AI Query and answer That includes your competitors, but not your brand.
In return, you will get a list of domain names/publishers responsible for competitor AI mentions.
In this example, I focus on Asana and Clickup.
On all AI surfaces, asanas have been cited 338,000 times…
When Clickup is quoted 14.8k times…
If Clickup’s goal is to seek more AI visibility (because, who isn’t?), they might want to market major publications like Tech Radar, Forbes, Guardian, Lifewire, and Ongired…
Together, these publications mentioned 800+ AI for Asana.
Tracking who promotes your competitors and how it appears in the way AI emerges – is a great way to find new sales leads.
2. Find Publishers referenced in locally related AI responses
Ahrefs Brand Radar now shows you the overarching theme you can see in AI…
You can find PR opportunities from publishers that quote with these target topics.
For example, here are all the major news sites quoted in Chatgpt along with the topic of AI.
If you want to connect your brand to AI themes, Tech Radar is the first publisher to choose.
Summarize
The transition from link building to AI visibility changes how you pitch and where you go.
Having the most cited ChatGpt publisher list is a strong starting point, but the real opportunity is overlapping: the media is Visible and Related Go to your niche.
If you are in a position where the subject and competitors have already gained coverage, you will be the best chance of yourself to appear in AI results.
