PR | AI Rankia Help Center

Overview

Overview is your PR home base — ranked, scored recommendations for exactly which sources to pitch next to earn more AI citations. A real result Every source AI cites in your space is scored as an earnable citation — never a competitor, never a platform, always a real publication AI already trusts. Each one comes with the exact prompt it was found on and a one-click path to draft outreach. AI Rankia — PR Command Center showing earnable citations, publications ranked by score, and Find + draft buttons What you'll see - Earnable now — sources AI cites in your space that don't mention you yet. - Already earned — citations you've already picked up. - AI answers scanned — how many AI responses were analyzed to build this list. - Publications / Influencers tabs — the same scoring applied to outlets versus individual people. - Each row shows the source's authority, how many times it's been cited, who currently "wins" that source instead of you, and a score out of 100. How to use it 1. Open PR ▸ Overview (or Command Center) for your brand. 2. Work down the ranked list — the highest-scored earnable sources are your best next move. 3. Click Find + draft on any source — it pulls the right contact and writes a pitch for you to review. 4. Nothing sends automatically: you always review before it goes out. Tip: "Displacement" sources already cite a named competitor for your exact prompt — those are usually your fastest wins, since you know the source is already open to citing brands like yours.
