It's not just your industry or the language of your prompts that shapes which sources get cited. The AI model itself matters just as much. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overview, and the rest each pull from their own mix of sources, sometimes overlapping heavily, sometimes looking like they're describing a completely different category altogether.
Chatbeat makes that comparison instant, so instead of assuming all models behave the same way, you can see exactly how they differ.
See Every Model's Favorite Sources, Side by Side
The Domains per Model view lays out the top cited domains for every AI model in one place, GPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Mode, AI Overview, Grok, Copilot, and Claude. Instead of digging through each model separately, you get an instant, side-by-side view of what each one actually relies on.
Sometimes They Overlap. Sometimes They Don't.
Look closely and you'll notice two very different patterns. Some domains show up consistently across almost every model, a sign that a source has genuinely broad authority in your space. Others are practically model-specific, dominant in one AI's citations and barely present in another's.
For example, look at how differently reddit.com and youtube.com perform between GPT and AI Overview.
That kind of gap isn't a fluke. It reflects real differences in how each model is built and what it's been trained or connected to prioritize.
Why This Should Change How You Prioritize
If you're putting effort into earning citations, this matters directly. A source that moves the needle for ChatGPT might do almost nothing for AI Overview, and vice versa. Knowing which sources actually influence which models means you can prioritize your outreach and content efforts toward where they'll genuinely make a difference, instead of treating all AI visibility as one single target.
