When buyers ask AI, does it recommend you?
For 20 years the goal was ranking on Google. But your buyers stopped scrolling links — they ask AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity…) and act on the answer. The brands that adapt first win the category. The ones who wait get left behind. Citeable makes your brand the one AI recommends.
Buyers stopped clicking ten blue links. They ask an AI and trust the answer. If you're not in that answer, you're not in the decision.
People trust an AI recommendation like advice from an expert friend — not like an ad they need to question.
SEO is crowded, expensive, and declining. AEO is wide open — for now. The brands that adapt first lock in the category. The ones who wait spend years fighting uphill.

The shift already happened. The only question is whether you move before your competitors do.
First in, first chosen.
A complete system to move you from invisible to recommended across every major AI platform.
We test 50 of your most important buyer queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI, and Copilot — showing exactly where you appear, where competitors win, and why.
We build the structured presence AI relies on — knowledge graph, Wikidata, schema, and authoritative citations — so AI understands and trusts your brand.
We create content engineered to be quoted by AI — answer-first, entity-dense, and structured for the way language models actually retrieve information.
AI heavily cites Reddit, LinkedIn, and forums. We build genuine, expert presence where your buyers research — and where AI looks for answers.
We track your AI Visibility Score weekly across every platform, flag inaccuracies AI states about you, and report measurable progress every month.
When AI states something wrong or unflattering about your brand, we identify it and correct the underlying sources before it costs you deals.
We show you exactly how visible (or invisible) you are across every major AI platform — with real screenshots and a clear AI Visibility Score.
We execute the full roadmap — entity work, AI-optimized content, schema, and community authority. You approve; we handle everything.
Your brand starts appearing in AI answers for the queries that matter — and you see the measurable progress in your monthly report.
"I started Citeable because I watched great companies stay invisible in AI search while weaker competitors got recommended — simply because they moved first.
SEO took 20 years to get crowded. AEO is where SEO was in its earliest days: wide open, and the brands acting now will own their category for years. I work with a small number of clients at a time so the work stays sharp and the results stay real. If that's the kind of partner you want, let's talk."
No. SEO optimizes for ranking on Google's links. AEO optimizes for being recommended inside AI-generated answers — a completely different mechanism. AI doesn't rank links; it synthesizes answers from entities, citations, and trusted sources. Most of our work (entity building, community authority, AI-extractable content) isn't part of traditional SEO at all. The two work alongside each other — but they're not the same.
No honest provider can guarantee a specific AI answer — nobody controls OpenAI's or Google's models. What we guarantee is measurable improvement: your AI Visibility Score will rise, tracked weekly across every platform. If it doesn't improve by at least 15 points in 60 days, we work an extra month at no charge. Anyone promising a guaranteed spot in ChatGPT is misleading you.
Month 1 is foundation work — AI platforms take 4–6 weeks to reflect changes. By month 2 you'll see your visibility score move and brand queries become more accurate. By month 3, you start appearing in category queries that drive real inbound. AEO compounds: each month builds on the last.
Absolutely — and we encourage it. Open ChatGPT or Perplexity and ask the questions your buyers ask. Tools like Profound also show your AI visibility score. It'll confirm exactly what we tell you. What we do isn't just showing you the problem — it's diagnosing why it's happening and fixing it, while you run your business.
AI visibility isn't a one-time fix — it's like fitness. The first three months build the foundation and prove the results. Most clients continue because the moment you stop, competitors start catching up. The minimum simply ensures we have enough runway to deliver measurable change before you judge it.
We work in three steps. First, a free 5-query snapshot so you see the problem for yourself — no cost, no commitment. If you want the full picture, the complete Visibility Audit (50 queries across 5 platforms, competitor analysis, and a 90-day roadmap) is a one-time fee. From there, our done-for-you program runs as a monthly partnership — and the audit fee is credited toward your first month. Request your free snapshot below to start.
Tell us your brand and we'll send a free 5-query snapshot across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI — showing you exactly what your buyers see when they research. No commitment.
We'll reply within 1 business day with your free 5-query snapshot across ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI.
