Where AI answers actually come from
When an AI assistant recommends B2B software, it cites a handful of sources. These are the domains it pulls from, ranked and typed from real 2026 data, so you can build the off-page target list that gets you recommended.

Why the sources matter more than your own page
AI answers cite roughly two to five sources per response, each domain at most once, and they surface only a fraction of what they crawl. So the highest-leverage place to be present is not your own site, it is the third-party pages the model already trusts. This map turns the measured citation sources into a prioritized target list.
The pattern holds across independent research: G2 and other review profiles raise the odds of being cited, and community sources like Reddit and YouTube-with-transcript are now among the strongest signals. This tool ranks the domains from the open, DOI-backed AI Recommendation Audit 2026.
Questions people ask
How do I get ChatGPT to recommend my product?
Get cited on the third-party domains AI answers pull from. Most of the top sources here are sites you do not own, so the lever is earning placement on them.
Which websites do AI assistants cite most for software?
Review and roundup sites, tech media, and communities lead. The ranked, typed list is in the tool above.
Does Reddit help AI search visibility?
Yes. Reddit and YouTube-with-transcript are top community citation sources, so a genuine presence in your category's canonical thread is a real lever. Give value, never spam.
Is my own website useless for AI recommendations?
No, but it is one ticket. The AI can cite several domains per answer, so being present on review sites, media, and communities as well is how you win the answer.
