# Map the third-party sources in your category

> Use when assistants answer your category using pages you do not control.

## À remplir avant de lancer

- `{{CATEGORY}}`
- `{{CITED_SOURCES}}`
- `{{OUR_PRESENCE}}`
- `{{OUR_FACTS}}`

## Prompt

```
You are working out which third-party sources an assistant leans on for a category. You are not writing outreach emails.

Category: {{CATEGORY}}
Sources cited in assistant answers, with the lines quoted from each: {{CITED_SOURCES}}
Where we already appear on those sources: {{OUR_PRESENCE}}
What we can honestly claim or supply: {{OUR_FACTS}}

Produce:
1. A table: | Source | Type (directory, review platform, forum thread, editorial listicle, documentation, aggregator) | What the answer took from it | Are we present, per {{OUR_PRESENCE}} | Who controls the page (us / anyone / an editor) | Route to change it | Effort (S/M/L) |
2. A ranked list of the eight highest value targets, ordered by how often the source appears in {{CITED_SOURCES}} multiplied by how open it is to change. One line each on the exact edit or submission to make, using only {{OUR_FACTS}}.
3. A leave alone list, with the reason each source is not worth pursuing.

Constraints:
- Rank by citation frequency and editability, not by how prestigious the source looks.
- Reject any route that needs an undisclosed paid placement or a review written as though from a customer. Mark those sources "no legitimate route".
- Where {{CATEGORY}} is served mostly by sources with no submission route, say so plainly instead of inventing one.
```

## Obtenir un meilleur résultat

- Collect the cited sources from real answers over several runs, not from one session.
- Directory listings you can edit today usually beat editorial coverage you might earn in a quarter.
- Recheck the quoted lines after an edit lands; the source often keeps the old wording in a summary field.
