# Citations

> Earn a place in the sources AI trusts. Prompts to paste into Claude or any assistant connected to Oppin.

Paste a prompt into an assistant connected to Oppin ([how to connect](https://docs.oppin.ai/mcp/overview.md)) and replace the parts in \[brackets] with your own. In Oppin, the **MCP** tab of the **Data & MCP** page has the same prompts with your brand and a competitor already filled in.

## Quick questions

One question, one answer. Paste it as it is.

### Which sites does AI read when it answers questions in our category?

*Quick question*

Top domains with their type (news, forum, retailer...) and your own site's share.

```text wrap theme={null}
Using Oppin, which sites does AI read when it answers questions in our category?
```

## Workflows

A few steps and one useful result.

### Listicle check

*Workflow · Structured data (JSON + CSV)*

Know where you stand in the "best of" lists AI leans on.

```text wrap theme={null}
Using Oppin, find the "best of" list articles AI reads most for our questions. For each one: are we on it, in what position, how are we described, and which competitors are on it when we're not. Return it as a JSON list with these fields: url, title, our_position, our_description, tone, rivals_listed_without_us. Then make a CSV I can share.
```

* **You get:** The same fields every run, ready for a sheet or the outreach team.
* **Why it helps:** Being missing from a list AI reads is a concrete outreach target.
* **Take it further:** Outreach drafts in Gmail; see [Outreach drafts](https://docs.oppin.ai/mcp/use-cases/citations.md#outreach-drafts).

### PR target list

*Workflow · Structured data (JSON + CSV)*

A PR list built from the outlets AI actually reads.

```text wrap theme={null}
Using Oppin, build our PR target list: news and review sites AI reads that mention our competitors but not us. Return it as a JSON list with these fields: domain, site_type, times_ai_read_it, questions, rivals_mentioned, sample_article. Then make a CSV I can share with our PR agency.
```

* **You get:** A ranked outlet list with the same fields every run, ready for the agency or an outreach tool.
* **Why it helps:** Outreach aimed at what AI reads, with numbers a PR agency can use.
* **Take it further:** Google Sheets, and the top five to Slack for the PR team.

### What AI trusts in our category

*Workflow · Insight chart (treemap)*

Decide whether to invest in PR, community, retail listings or your own content.

```text wrap theme={null}
Using Oppin, what kinds of sites does AI trust for our category? Show it as a treemap: every site AI reads, grouped by type (news, forums, retailers, brand sites) and sized by how often it's read. Then read the three most-used pages and tell me what they have in common.
```

* **You get:** A picture of where AI's attention goes, the leading sites of each type, and a short "what the top pages share", labelled as a pattern, not a formula.
* **Why it helps:** Puts budget where AI actually looks.

### Fix what AI gets wrong

*Workflow · Ranked list + email drafts*

Find and correct outdated facts AI repeats about you.

```text wrap theme={null}
Using Oppin, check what AI says about our [pricing / plans / product facts]. The correct details are: [paste]. Find answers that get it wrong, the pages behind them, and draft a correction request for each page owner. Don't send anything.
```

* **You get:** Each wrong claim with the answer and the page behind it, plus correction drafts.
* **Why it helps:** An outdated third-party page keeps resurfacing until the page itself changes.
* **Take it further:** Gmail drafts; see [Outreach drafts](https://docs.oppin.ai/mcp/use-cases/citations.md#outreach-drafts).

### Citation map

*Workflow · Interactive page (network)*

See which sites hold your competitors' visibility together, and which of them never mention you.

```text wrap theme={null}
Using Oppin, draw a map of the sites AI reads for our category and the brands each one mentions: sites as dots sized by how often AI reads them, lines to the brands they mention. Highlight the busy sites that mention our rivals but never us.
```

* **You get:** A network where each competitor's supporting sites cluster around it and the bridges worth pursuing stand out.
* **Why it helps:** A list says where to pitch; the map shows why those sites matter.
* **Note:** The brands on each site come from reading its pages, which fills in over a site's first days in the data, so a site Oppin has not read yet shows no brands rather than none mentioned.

### Outreach drafts

*Workflow · Gmail drafts*

Outreach emails for your top targets, drafted in Gmail and never sent.

```text wrap theme={null}
Using Oppin, take our top 5 PR targets [or: the pages with outdated pricing / the listicles we're missing from] and draft a short, specific outreach email for each in Gmail, referencing the exact article. Don't send.
```

* **Why it helps:** Research and first drafts done; a human sends.
* **Needs:** Gmail, connected in your assistant.
