Where Cited is different
A workflow, not a to-do list
Searchable's output is recommendations your team still has to run. Cited's agents run the workflow: gap diagnosed, fix produced, task tracked, result verified on the next audit.
Depth by buyer, not just brand
Cited frames every prompt per persona and funnel stage across B2B SaaS, services and D2C, so a moving score maps to buying conversations, not raw mention counts.
Whitebox evidence, predictable spend
Open any prompt and read the full answer, including the live-web-search vs model-memory split. Engines come included per plan, so depth never depends on add-on math.
When Searchable is the right pick
Pick Searchable if your pipeline runs through HubSpot or Salesforce and you want AI visibility data flowing into that stack, with prompt research volumes and a technical audit layer built in.
