Sources to Get Listed On recommendations suggest third-party websites where your brand may need a stronger presence. Use them when important sources appear in AI answers but your brand is missing, underrepresented, or not described clearly.

​
What Sources to Get Listed On is for

This recommendation type helps you find websites that may influence AI answers in your market. These sources may include:
  • directories
  • review sites
  • comparison pages
  • listicles
  • industry publications
  • partner pages
  • marketplaces
If these websites appear often across your prompts, they may be worth reviewing.

​
Why source recommendations matter

AI visibility is not only shaped by your own website. Third-party sources can influence how AI platforms understand brands, categories, and recommendations. If competitors are listed on important sources and your brand is missing, you may have a visibility gap. Getting listed, mentioned, reviewed, or accurately described on those sources can help strengthen your presence over time.

​
What to review

When reviewing a source recommendation, look at:
  • the website being recommended
  • how often it appears across prompts
  • whether your competitors are listed there
  • whether your brand is already included
  • whether your brand information is accurate
  • whether the source is relevant to your market
  • whether it is worth outreach or listing effort
Not every source will be worth pursuing. Focus on the ones that appear relevant and credible.

​
Using a source recommendation

A simple workflow is:
  1. Open the recommended source.
  2. Review the page or website.
  3. Check whether your brand is mentioned.
  4. Check which competitors are included.
  5. Decide whether the source is worth pursuing.
  6. Add, claim, update, or request a listing where possible.
  7. Dismiss the recommendation if it is not useful.

​
Examples of source actions

Depending on the website, you may be able to:
  • submit your business
  • claim a profile
  • update your company description
  • request inclusion in a list
  • improve reviews
  • build a partner listing
  • contact the publisher
  • create a stronger page that deserves to be cited
The right action depends on the source.

​
When to skip a source

Skip or dismiss a source if it:
  • is not relevant to your business
  • targets the wrong market
  • looks low quality
  • is not reachable
  • does not mention competitors or similar brands
  • is unlikely to influence your audience
The goal is not to get listed everywhere. The goal is to focus on sources that matter.

​
Tips

Prioritize sources that appear across multiple prompts. Check whether competitors are listed before taking action. Make sure your brand description is accurate where you are already listed. Treat source recommendations as outreach and reputation opportunities. Dismiss sources that are not relevant so your list stays useful.
