Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further.

Spotlight tracks which of your web pages are being cited when AI models answer your tracked prompts. This step connects your existing content so Spotlight can measure what’s working — and flag what isn’t.

​
1. Import your content from your sitemap

Go to Citation Tracking and click Import from sitemap.
  1. Enter your sitemap URL (usually yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml).
  2. Filter the results to just your blog or articles — you don’t need to import every page on your site, just the content that’s relevant to your tracked prompts.
  3. Select the pages you want to track and import them.
Spotlight will now monitor these pages and surface them in Citation Tracking whenever they’re cited in an AI response.
If you have content on multiple domains or subdomains (a separate blog, a press page, LinkedIn articles), you can add additional domains from the Citation Tracking settings. All cited content across your properties will be tracked in one place.

​
2. Connect Google Search Console

AI models search Google to find content to cite. If your pages aren’t indexed by Google, they can’t be cited — no matter how good they are. Connect Google Search Console under Settings → Integrations. Once connected, Spotlight will:
  • Check whether each of your tracked pages is indexed.
  • Flag any pages that aren’t indexed so you can fix them.
  • Submit unindexed pages to Google for indexing on your behalf.
This is a common reason new content doesn’t get cited. Always verify indexing after publishing, especially on new domains or subdomains.

​
3. Connect Google Analytics (optional)

Under Settings → Integrations, you can also connect Google Analytics 4. This lets you see traffic arriving at your site directly from AI models — which landing pages they arrive on, and what they do after. Most users who discover your brand through AI will search for you on Google first, then arrive via organic, so direct AI traffic is typically a small slice. But it’s a useful data point as the channel matures.
Done when: Your blog content is imported into Citation Tracking, Google Search Console is connected, and Spotlight has verified (or submitted for) indexing on your key pages.
