## What Are Sources & Citations?

**Citations** are third-party sources that mention your brand — G2 reviews, Reddit discussions, blog articles, and news mentions. AI models like ChatGPT and Claude rely on these sources to form their responses. More high-quality citations mean a higher chance of being recommended by AI.

The **Sources** page has two parts:

1. **Citation campaigns** — Generate personalized content (emails, templates) to help you get reviews, Reddit mentions, and media coverage.
2. **Citations table** — Shows where your brand is already cited. Citations here are discovered automatically when you run prompts: when an AI response mentions your brand and cites a source (G2, Reddit, etc.), we add it to the table.

## Citation Limits by Plan

| Icon | Plan    | Campaign generations / month |
| :--: | ------- | ---------------------------- |
|  🚀  | Starter | 3                            |
|  📈  | Growth  | 10                           |
|  🏢  | Custom  | Unlimited                    |

Each time you click **Generate Content** for a campaign counts as one generation. Creating a campaign does not consume your limit; only generating the AI content does.

## Campaign Types

| Icon | Type                  | What It Does                                                      |
| :--: | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   ⭐  | **Review Generation** | Generate personalized review request emails using your brand data |
|  💬  | **Reddit Engagement** | Get Reddit response templates based on your industry and prompts  |
|  📰  | **Media Outreach**    | Generate media outreach emails with your real differentiators     |

Campaign generation uses your brand description, industry, competitors, and top prompts to produce actionable content — not generic templates.

## How to Create a Citation Campaign

1. Go to **Sources** in the sidebar
2. Click **New Campaign**
3. Select:
   * **Brand** — The brand you want to build citations for
   * **Campaign type** — Review Generation, Reddit Engagement, or Media Outreach
   * **Name** — A descriptive campaign name
   * **Target count** — (optional) How many citations you want
4. Click **Create**
5. Open the campaign and click **Generate Content** — we’ll create personalized templates using your brand data

## Managing Campaign Status

* **Draft** — Campaign created; no content generated yet
* **Active** — Content has been generated; you can view and copy it
* **Mark complete** — Use when you’ve finished the campaign
* **Cancel** — Use when the campaign is no longer needed

## Viewing Citations

The citations table shows where your brand has been cited:

* **Source** — The platform (G2, Reddit, etc.)
* **Type** — Review, Reddit, or Media
* **Status** — Pending, In Progress, or Completed
* **Authority** — Score from 0–100 indicating how influential the source is for AI

Citations appear here automatically when you run prompts and an AI response cites a source that mentions your brand. You don’t need to add them manually.

## Why This Matters for AI Visibility

AI assistants cite sources when answering. When more reputable sources (reviews, forums, news) mention your brand, AI is more likely to recommend you. Sources & Citations helps you systematically build that authority.
