The Shift to AI Search
The way people find information is changing. Millions of users now turn to AI-powered search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — instead of typing queries into Google. These AI engines don't return a list of ten blue links. They generate direct answers, and they cite specific sources to back up those answers.
If your business isn't being cited, you're invisible to a rapidly growing audience.
Traditional SEO optimized your website for Google's ranking algorithm. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the new discipline that ensures your content is discovered, understood, and referenced by AI models. Cited is the platform built to help you win at GEO.
What Cited Does
Cited is a Generative Engine Optimization platform that helps businesses measure, monitor, and improve their visibility across AI search engines. It answers a straightforward question: when someone asks an AI about your industry, does the AI mention you?
The platform follows a structured pipeline:
Audit
Cited queries real AI providers — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and others — with questions your customers are actually asking. It records whether your brand appears in the responses, how prominently you're featured, and which competitors are being cited instead.
Recommendations
Based on audit results, Cited generates a prioritized list of actions to improve your AI visibility. Each recommendation is ranked by potential impact and estimated effort, so you know exactly where to focus.
Solutions
For every recommendation, Cited can generate implementation-ready artifacts — rewritten content, schema markup, structured data, and more. You don't just get advice; you get deliverables you can deploy.
Key Features
AI Visibility Scoring — A composite score from 0 to 100 that tells you how visible your business is across AI search engines. Track it over time to measure the impact of your optimization efforts.
Competitor Analysis — See which competitors are being cited in your space, how often they appear, and what content is earning them mentions. Understand your share of voice relative to the competition.
Multi-Provider Coverage — Test your visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI platforms simultaneously. Each provider has different tendencies and source preferences — Cited covers them all.
Implementation-Ready Solutions — Move from insight to action without a gap. Cited generates the actual content, markup, and technical fixes you need, not just a list of problems.
Health Metrics Dashboard — Monitor your content quality, crawl coverage, trust signals, schema completeness, and AI readiness from a single dashboard.
Who Is Cited For?
Marketing Teams — If you're responsible for driving organic traffic and brand awareness, AI search is a channel you can't afford to ignore. Cited gives you the data and tools to add GEO to your strategy.
SEO Agencies — Offer GEO as a service to your clients. Cited provides the audit infrastructure, reporting, and solution generation you need to deliver results at scale.
Business Owners — You don't need a technical background to use Cited. The platform walks you through every step, from understanding your current visibility to implementing improvements.
Content Strategists — Understand which content formats, structures, and topics earn AI citations. Use Cited's insights to shape your editorial calendar around what AI search engines actually reference.
Why It Matters Now
AI search adoption is accelerating. As more users shift their queries to conversational AI, the businesses that appear in those responses will capture attention, traffic, and trust. The businesses that don't will lose ground — regardless of how well they rank on traditional search.
Cited gives you the visibility, the insights, and the tools to stay ahead of this shift. The next step is to create your account and run your first audit.
