Source Domain
A Source Domain is the root domain (like example.com) of an external source included in an AI response.
Why Source Domain Matters
AI engines often reuse domains that repeatedly provide clear, trustworthy answers. If your domain becomes "trusted," you can win visibility across many prompts.
Key Factors
- Domain authority and trust signals
- Content quality and relevance
- Freshness and accuracy of information
- AI crawler access and indexing
