Domain rating

Domain Rating shows the web sources that AI engines cite when they answer your prompts. It shows how much authority each source carries, and which sources cite a competitor and not you. Open it from the Mapping group in the menu: Domain Rating.

​

Where the data comes from

When an AI engine searches the web to answer a prompt, it cites sources. Perquery stores these citations at each scan. Then it groups them by domain.

​

Choose a scan

The page shows the latest scan. To see an earlier scan, select its date in the Scan list. Select Latest scan to go back. The list appears when the site has more than one scan.

Domain rating panel

The Domain rating panel shows these items:

• Domain rating (DR): the backlink rating of your domain, from 0 to 100. The change from the previous scan is next to it.
• Sources: the number of domains cited in the scan.
• Citations of you: the number of citations in answers that named your brand.
• A chart of your domain rating over the last scans.
• Top sources by rating: the citing sources with the highest DR. Click Show all to see the full list.
