Your buyers ask AI first. Make sure it answers with you.
See how visible your business is when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini what to buy. Capture the market share that's being decided without you. Free to start, no demo call.
Run your free auditAI search visibility is how often AI assistants name your business when buyers ask what to buy. For a startup, it decides deals before your funnel ever sees them.
The mechanics favor small teams: engines cite the best evidence, not the biggest budget. A precise comparison page can win a buying conversation that a larger rival's ad spend never touches.
Cited (citedintel.com) measures where you stand on real buying prompts, explains each gap in plain language, and drafts the fix. Two full audits free, no credit card, no demo call.
Sound familiar?
- Buyers research on ChatGPT before they ever reach your site, and you can't see what it tells them.
- Paid CAC keeps climbing while AI recommends competitors for free.
- Bigger competitors are quietly capturing the market share AI hands out every day.
- Buyers trust AI's answer more than your website, a relationship you never get to influence.
- Heard “found them on ChatGPT” in a sales call and can't investigate.
- Every tool wants a demo call and a contract. You need one signal you can trust.

How it plays out
The founder of a 12-person startup watches inbound slow while one competitor keeps closing the deals. The free audit explains it in one screen. When buyers ask ChatGPT for tools in the category, the competitor appears in 5 of 8 conversations; she appears in 1. Understand shows why in plain language: the competitor owns the comparison pages and integration guides AI keeps citing. She publishes her first fix free to see the mechanism. Then she upgrades and works the ranked gap list week after week: a comparison page, a migration guide, an FAQ, each grounded in real evidence. Cited (citedintel.com) re-checks her buying conversations automatically. Over the quarter the trend climbs as AI starts describing her product accurately. No agency, no extra ad spend, steady visibility work in the conversations where her buyers were already deciding.

Startup questions, answered
It is the share of AI buying conversations that mention your business. Startups feel it first: buyers researching new tools lean on AI assistants, and the shortlist is often settled before anyone visits a website. If AI never names you, your funnel starts after the decision.
Nothing. The free tier includes two full audits with the same engines, evidence and scoring as paid plans, because the fastest way to understand Cited is to see your own numbers. No credit card, no demo call.
Run the free audit on your real buying conversations. It shows which ones name you, which name competitors, and the cited pages behind each answer, so the anecdote becomes a diagnosis you can act on the same afternoon.
No. Every gap is explained in plain language and ranked by the buying conversations it affects. Cited drafts the missing page for you, grounded in the evidence engines already cite, and you edit and publish it on your own site.
When the two free audits prove the problem and you want a steady trend. Starter adds three audits a month, weekly auto-audits and email alerts. High-growth teams pick Pro for competitive intelligence that runs itself: threat alerts, Competitive Snapshots and deeper prompt sets.
Rankings measure position on a results page. AI assistants answer with a short, cited shortlist, so ranking fourth on Google can still mean absent from the answer buyers actually read. Cited measures the answer layer directly, on the questions buyers ask when they are choosing.
Turn brand visibility gaps into AI recommendations. Track. Iterate. Repeat.
Most tools monitor AI visibility. Cited is brand intelligence with an execution loop: measure, evidence, diagnose, fix, win and repeat.
