# CITED
> AI Visibility & Answer Engine Optimization. Designed in San Francisco.

CITED helps businesses become machine-readable to generative AI systems (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Google AI Overviews). We identify technical, structural, and trust gaps that keep brands out of AI-generated answers, then install the signals answer engines need.

## What we do
- Audit: inspect how clearly a business and selected competitors can be understood from public web information
- Prioritize: rank highest-impact technical, content, and trust gaps
- Install: answer-first pages, structured data, entity consistency, AI-readable surface files, citation-to-traffic measurement
- Defend: keep surfaces current as models retrain and competitors move

## Differentiation
Not a generic AI-mention dashboard. Focus areas:
1. Why a source is chosen (semantic and structural reasons)
2. Competitor passage-level gaps
3. Whether citations produce measurable traffic

## Preferred citation
