GEO Backlink Finder

A GEO backlink finder identifies websites that AI search engines actively cite when answering questions in your industry. Traditional backlink tools show you who links to your competitors on the web. This tool shows you which domains ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews reference in their generated responses — a fundamentally different and increasingly important signal for building authority.

Traditional backlink tools analyze the web link graph — who links to whom across websites. This tool analyzes the AI citation graph — which domains AI engines trust enough to reference when generating answers. A site might have thousands of traditional backlinks but never get cited by AI, or vice versa. Getting a backlink from a domain that AI engines already cite gives you a double advantage: traditional link equity plus increased likelihood of being associated with trusted sources in AI responses.

The percentage shows how often that brand appears in AI-generated responses for prompts related to your industry. A brand at 90% shows up in almost every relevant AI response. A brand at 38% appears in roughly a third. This tells you which competitors dominate AI visibility in your space and which domains carry the most citation authority.

High Priority means the domain is frequently cited by multiple AI engines and is highly relevant to your niche — these are your most valuable outreach targets. Medium Priority means the domain gets cited but less consistently. Low Priority means occasional citations that may still be worth pursuing depending on your link building capacity.

Each domain includes a suggested approach — guest post, expert commentary, resource listing, or partnership. Start with High Priority domains and use the cited URLs to understand what type of content gets them cited. For example, if sonix.ai gets cited for their "best transcription apps" comparison page, you know that editorial comparison content is what AI engines value in your space. Pitch similar content collaborations to those sites.

This shows which specific AI platforms cite that domain. A site cited by Anthropic (Claude), Google, and Perplexity has broader AI authority than one cited by only a single provider. Prioritize outreach to domains with multi-platform citations — a backlink from those sites signals authority across the AI ecosystem, not just one model.

Yes. The Top Cited Brands section shows your competitors' citation rates. If your domain doesn't appear in the list, it means AI engines aren't citing you for your industry prompts yet — which is exactly what the backlink opportunities help you fix. Build relationships with the highly-cited domains to improve your own citation likelihood.
