Citation gap analysis
A citation gap is a source that answer engines trust in your category and that already cites your competitors. Allswap lists every one across every engine, ranked by how heavily engines lean on that source, so the top row is the best place to spend the next week.
What you get
Ranked by weight
A site cited sixty times in your category outranks one cited twice, so the list is ordered by what a placement is actually worth.
Who is already on it
Each gap names the competitors that source cites, which tells you what kind of coverage earns a place there.
The route in
Review profile, listicle, documentation link, directory entry — each gap records the kind of page the citation came from.
Closed gaps tracked
When a source starts citing you, the change is recorded against the work that earned it.

Questions
What is a citation gap?
A source answer engines use in your category that already cites at least one competitor. It is the most actionable finding this kind of analysis produces, because the work it points at is specific and the result is measurable in the next scan.
How do I close a citation gap?
It depends on the source. Review sites reward a complete, claimed profile with recent reviews. Listicles respond to outreach. Community threads reward genuine participation. Documentation and comparison sites mostly need accurate information they can find easily.
How long does it take to show up in answers?
Usually a few weeks, and it varies by engine. Engines that retrieve live reflect a new source fastest, so scheduled scans are what let you watch the change arrive engine by engine.
How this works by industry
The sources and buyer questions differ by market.
