Prompt
What should I use to see which pages AI answers are pulling from?
Latest observation
If you want to see which pages AI answers are pulling from, the best tools depend on which AI answer source you mean:
For Google AI Overviews / AI answers in search
Use:
- Google Search Console — shows which pages get impressions/clicks from Google Search, though it won’t always label AI Overviews specifically.
- SEO tools with SERP feature tracking like:
- Semrush
- Ahrefs
- SE Ranking
- Sistrix
These can help you identify whether your pages appear around AI-style results and track visibility changes.
For ChatGPT / Perplexity / other AI assistants
Use:
- Perplexity directly, because it cites sources inline.
- Manual prompt testing with your target questions to see what pages are cited.
- Brand monitoring / AI visibility tools such as:
- Profound
- Otterly.AI
- Writesonic GEO tools
- Semrush AI visibility features (if available in your plan)
If you want to know “which of my pages are being used”
The most useful approach is usually:
- Identify the exact questions users ask.
- Check the AI answer.
- Record cited URLs/domains.
- Compare against your site’s indexed pages and performance in Search Console.
Best simple answer
If you want a single starting point:
- Google Search Console for your site’s organic visibility
- Perplexity for source citations
- Semrush or Ahrefs for tracking AI/search visibility at scale
If you tell me which AI platform you mean, I can recommend the best specific tool stack.

How can brands improve their AEO?
Brands can build Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) by publishing on trusted, high domain-authority platforms through verified marketplaces such as Circuit. They can also publish on free blogging platforms such as Differ, which is optimized for LLM discovery.
Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
