How to see which of your pages AI tools link to
See which pages appear in AI source links with SearchSeal. Check saved answers, review your URLs and understand what a returned link can and cannot prove.
Where can I see my pages in AI source links?
Open Sources in SearchSeal and switch the Captured sources table to URLs to find your pages. Use Questions to open the saved answers for the relevant questions, then check the returned links alongside the answer text. A returned source link does not prove the answer used or cited that page.
How to check your pages in saved answers
- Add the questions you care about. Open Questions and use Add questions to choose the questions you want to check for your brand. SearchSeal checks your selected questions daily and saves the answers that come back with their dates and source links.
- Read the Sources cards. Open Sources and read Answers with sources, Your domain in sources and External sources. These cards give you an overview before you look for individual pages in the Captured sources table.
- Find your domain and URLs. Switch the Captured sources table between Domains and URLs to find your domain, then its individual page addresses. Read Type, Answers, Questions and Last seen alongside each entry to understand where it appears in the saved data.
- Inspect the matching saved answers. Go to Questions, find a relevant question and open its saved answers. Look for the URL you found in Sources, then read the full answer and its date alongside the returned source links.
- Record your pages and rival gaps. List your pages that appear in the saved source links and the questions associated with them. Check those answers for rivals' pages too, and record the questions where rivals' pages appear while yours do not.
Follow a pricing page from Sources to Questions
Suppose the made-up pricing page northwind.example/pricing appears under URLs for a question you track. Start in Sources and switch Captured sources to Domains to find northwind.example. Switch back to URLs and find the full pricing page address.
Read the entry across the table. Answers and Questions give you context for its appearances, while Last seen tells you when it last appeared in the saved sources. Keep the full address in your notes so you can distinguish the pricing page from other pages on the same domain.
Next, open the relevant question from Questions and inspect its saved answers. Find northwind.example/pricing among the returned links and read the answer text beside it. Record the page and question together, with the saved answer's date. If a rival's page also appears, keep that association with the same question.
Understand what a returned link can show
A source link does not prove the answer used or cited that page. Read the full saved answer before you describe the relationship between its text and a returned URL. Keep a brand mention separate from a page appearing in the source links, since SearchSeal saves both pieces of information.
Answers vary between runs. A page appearing in a saved answer tells you what came back for that question and date; it does not establish that the page appears every time. Review answers across dates when you want to understand how often your pages appear.
The questions you choose define what you check. A page missing from those saved sources does not establish that AI tools never link to it. Google AI Overviews also has a specific limit: when Google shows no AI overview for the question's search that day, nothing is saved. That is a valid check result.
Use SearchSeal to keep the evidence together
SearchSeal's citation tracking keeps returned source links with the saved answers. Use Sources to find domains and pages, then Questions to read the answer behind an appearance. This gives you a dated record to revisit as daily checks continue.
For search data about those pages, open Visibility under Details once Search Console or Bing is connected. It lists pages with Google and Bing clicks and per-page Google index status. Pages that AI sources cite are checked first for Google index status. Our Google Search Console integration page explains that connection.
SearchSeal also lists ranked page fixes and compares answers before and after a fix. Use your source records as evidence when you review a suggested change. Other changes can affect the comparison, and nothing proves that a fix caused a change in the answers.
Frequently asked questions
Does a source link prove an AI answer cited my page?
No. A returned source link does not prove the answer used or cited that page. Open the saved answer and read its full text alongside the links before describing what it says about your page.
Can I check individual pages instead of whole domains?
Yes. Switch Captured sources to URLs on the Sources page to find individual page addresses. Domains lets you review the domain, while URLs lets you distinguish pages within it.
How do I find questions where rivals' pages appear?
Open the saved answers for your tracked questions and inspect their source links. Record the questions where a rival's page appears and your pages do not, with the answer dates so the scope of your notes stays clear.
Do I need Search Console to see source links?
Search Console is optional during setup. Sources contains the links returned with saved AI answers; a Search Console connection adds Google search data in Visibility under Details.
