Offsite mentions (Sources > Offsite mentions) lists the pages on other sites that AI platforms cite in the answers to your prompts: reviews, listicles, news, forums, competitors' pages and more. For every page you have analyzed, it shows whether the page names your brand, in what tone, and which of your competitors it names.
Offsite mentions is part of Starter and up (the brand owner's plan).
Block | What it tells you |
|---|---|
Pages analyzed | How many of the cited pages have been read, in total and per kind of site, and for each kind how many analyzed pages name you against your leading competitor |
Who these pages name | Your brand and each competitor, by how many analyzed pages name them, with the tone of those mentions: positive, neutral, negative. It appears once at least one page is analyzed |
Cited third-party pages | One row per page, with what it says about you and your competitors |
The page uses the same filters as the rest of Sources and Visibility: reports or a Scheduled Report, prompt categories, AI platforms and date range.
Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
Page | The cited page. A Brand Audit badge means your latest Brand Audit cited it too |
Type | The kind of site, like Reviews & directory or News & editorial |
Citations | How many times the answers under the filters cited it. Click it to see the answers |
You | Not analyzed, No, or the tone of the mention (Positive, Neutral, Negative); hover to read how the page talks about you |

The first three competitors show; the others, Prompts and Last seen are in Choose columns. Search pages finds a page by its address or title.
Pick one or several; All shows every cited page on another site:
Option | Shows |
|---|---|
Names you | Analyzed pages that name your brand |
Names a competitor, not you | Analyzed pages that name a competitor but not you: your best outreach targets |
Names no one | Analyzed pages that name neither you nor a competitor |
Not analyzed | Pages not read yet |
Competitors named keeps the pages that name the competitors you pick, one or several; Any competitor clears it. Clicking a competitor in Who these pages name adds it to that filter, or takes it out.
Knowing whether a page names your brand takes reading the page. Rank Prompt never guesses it from the URL or the title. Until a page is analyzed it shows Not analyzed, and it never counts as a page that doesn't name you.
To analyze pages (owners and editors):
In Pages analyzed, click Analyze the most cited (the button says how many: the most cited pages not read yet, up to 30), or select rows in the table and click Analyze
Review the pages and the credit cost in the confirmation
Confirm
One read of each page returns its contacts, whether it links to your site, and every business it names. The result also shows in Outreach > Backlink outreach, so you don't pay for the same page twice.
Credit cost: 1 credit per 3 pages. Your own pages and pages already analyzed are free.
If a page names your brand under another name (a product name, an old company name) that sits in your competitor list, mark that entry as My brand (this is us) in Brand settings > Competitors. The pages that named it then count as naming you, with the same tone, without reading them again. See Competitors analysis.
