When ChatGPT answers a question, it pulls from a relatively small set of trusted sources. We tracked every domain ChatGPT cited across a broad set of US queries, then ranked them by mention share — the percentage of all citations (among the top sources) that point to each domain. The leader is en.wikipedia.org, capturing 10.1% of citations. We update this every month.

How this data is collected
The numbers come from Ahrefs’ Brand Radar, which tracks the responses AI platforms give to a large, search-backed set of real user queries. For this article, we looked at every domain ChatGPT cited across a broad sample of US queries spanning all topics, then counted how often each domain appeared as a source.
This article is generated and automatically kept up to date every month by Agent A, our AI agent. Each month it pulls the latest Brand Radar data, recalculates mention share and rank movement, and refreshes the chart and table above — so the figures always reflect the most recent snapshot.
