# Off-Site

> Get your brand into the external sources AI engines trust

The evidence behind an AI answer isn't always your own site. In plenty of categories, community, review, and media sources get cited more than owned pages. Off-Site is the workspace for getting your brand into those external sources.

If [Citation](/dashboard/citation) shows a low owned share, this is the faster move: faster than publishing more on-site pages.

| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Automated publishing | Anymorph publishes directly through a connected account |

## Reddit recommendations

Finds Reddit threads that AI answers actually cite and recommends participating.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/opactor/images/dashboard/off-site-reddit.png" alt="Reddit recommendation detail" />
</Frame>

What to check in the detail view:

| Item                   | Content                              |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Draft                  | The comment or post draft to publish |
| That community's rules | The subreddit's actual rules text    |
| Citation attribution   | Which AI answer cited this thread    |

Use **Copy draft** to grab the text and publish it yourself.

<Warning>
  Don't paste the draft as-is. Every community has its own tone and context, and anything that reads as promotional can get deleted or the account penalized. Treat the draft as a starting point, not a final post: rewrite it to fit the thread.
</Warning>

## Cited threads you can't post to

Separately surfaces threads that an AI answer cites but where **the community's rules ban product mentions**, so you can't participate.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/opactor/images/dashboard/off-site-risk.png" alt="Participation risk panel" />
</Frame>

These threads aren't participation targets. But they tell you **what the community is discussing**, which is useful as source material for on-site content topics.

<Note>
  The rules text may not have been captured, or may have changed since it was assessed. Check the community's actual rules yourself before posting.
</Note>

## Publish review

When you run an automated publish, a review runs first. If it flags a potential issue, a warning appears and you choose whether to proceed.

| Notice                                        | Meaning                                          |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| The publish review flagged a potential issue  | A rule violation is possible                     |
| Couldn't verify this draft's publishing rules | Rules text wasn't retrievable                    |
| Estimated removal risk                        | Chance the post gets taken down after publishing |

<Warning>
  Publishing makes a real change on an external service. It's hard to undo, so always check the draft and the rules whenever a warning appears.
</Warning>

## Dismissing

If a recommendation doesn't fit, dismiss it. Check **Don't suggest this again** to exclude the target from future analysis; leave it unchecked and the same recommendation resurfaces next run.

Dismissed items can be restored from the Dismissed tab.

## Working routine

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the gap in Citation">
    In [Citation](/dashboard/citation)'s acquisition targets, identify sources only your competitors are cited in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the Todo tab">
    Open a recommendation and check the draft and target thread.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Rewrite the draft">
    Adjust it to fit the community's context. Never publish it as-is.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish, or do it yourself">
    Use automated publishing if it's available and reviewed, otherwise copy the draft and publish manually.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the impact">
    Two to four weeks later, check [Citation](/dashboard/citation) to see whether that source has started citing you.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Off-Site takes longer to show results than On-Site. External content has to get indexed and picked up as evidence before AI adopts it.
</Note>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Stuck in Setup needed">
    Automated publishing needs both a connected account and workspace setup. Check connection status in [Integrations](/settings/integrations).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Automated publishing is disabled">
    Your workspace has automated publishing turned off. Copy the draft and publish it yourself, or contact your admin.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A publish failed">
    Either the external service rejected it or the response timed out. Check the current status and retry. If it fails repeatedly, check the connected account's permissions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="There's no draft">
    It hasn't been generated yet, or generation failed. It will be retried on the next analysis run.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A published post got removed">
    It was judged to violate community rules. Dismiss that target and find another thread the rules allow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The list isn't updating">
    A "showing saved actions" notice means live updates are temporarily paused. Refresh in a moment.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
