WHERE THINGS STAND IN 2026

Google is losing. Slowly, but it’s not coming back.

When a buyer asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, the answer names a few businesses and skips the rest.

THE AI VISIBILITY AUDIT

Six review areas and a live AI check. Every finding with its evidence URL.

Our audit agents draft the analysis; the team fact-checks it, reviews every finding and signs it off. It starts from 15 buyer questions we agree on with you, tracked with Cited on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, plus a manual Bing Copilot check of the 5 core questions.

Curious to know where your company would land?

WHY IT’S THIS DETAILED

We actually do our homework.

Cited’s free website audit already gives you an automated checklist, and for some sites that’s enough. The paid audit starts there and adds what a tool can’t: a manual Bing Copilot check, a hygiene checklist, an accessibility and PageSpeed review, and Cited’s action plan triaged—false positives out, every to-do with the URL that proves it.

COMMON QUESTIONS

The questions we hear most often.

GEO? AEO? SEO? What’s what?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) are two names for the same thing: optimizing to be cited in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. SEO optimizes for Google’s results pages. The signals overlap, but GEO / AEO weight different factors more heavily. A site can rank #1 on Google—and never be mentioned by ChatGPT.

Which AI platforms do you check?

Tracked with Cited on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, plus a manual Bing Copilot check. The audit runs your 15 agreed buyer questions on all five platforms; the 5 core questions also get the Bing Copilot check.

Why $390 when Cited’s automated audit is free?

Cited Free gives you a machine checklist, and for some sites that’s enough. The paid audit is the reviewed version: our audit agents draft it, and the team fact-checks, reviews and signs it off. It adds a manual Bing Copilot check, a hygiene checklist and an accessibility and PageSpeed review, removes the false positives from Cited’s action plan, and walks you through the result in a 30-minute call. The $390 counts in full toward a Fix Pack or Sprint booked within 60 days.

What’s in the audit, and what isn’t?

In: the Cited scan of your 15 buyer questions on five AI platforms, a manual Bing Copilot check of the 5 core questions, Cited’s automated website audit as your baseline, the team’s review (crawler access, structured data, technical basics and PageSpeed, an accessibility sample, citability and listings), a hygiene checklist for your legal pages and consent, a triaged action plan, the PDF and one-page action list within 2 business days of your completed intake, a 30-minute call and 90 days of Cited Base. Not in: implementation, tracking after day 90, legal advice, more than 3 competitors or 1 domain, and any guarantee of AI mentions, citations or rankings.

How does the 60-day credit work?

Whatever you paid us for visibility work in the last 60 days counts in full toward a bigger one-time step: the Audit toward a Fix Pack or a Sprint, a Fix Pack toward a Sprint. It shows on your invoice as its own credit line, and altogether you never pay more than the biggest step you book. Monthly fees, such as Managed Visibility, don’t count toward it.

What happens to the Cited seat?

Each site gets one Cited seat on your own Cited account. It carries over from step to step, so your baseline history stays—unless the account has or had its own paid Cited plan: then the seat goes on a new account, and the earlier history stays in the old one. A seat we include ends automatically when its included period ends: after 90 days for the Audit, after 6 months for a Sprint, or when your Managed Visibility or Website Maintenance plan ends. No charge, nothing to cancel. Then you choose: keep Cited at its list price, Managed Visibility at $290 a month, or stop.

How long until measurable results?

Technical fixes are live the moment we deploy them. Local SEO signals start showing at 8–12 weeks. AI citations take longest—three to six months—because AI models refresh their source indexes less often.

Is there a results guarantee?

No, and frankly anyone claiming one is misleading you. Neither we nor anyone else controls what OpenAI or Google include in their models. What we do guarantee: every recommendation is independently verifiable. If you can substantively refute a finding, we’ll either revise it or refund the audit price.

Are prices shown gross or net? How is EU VAT handled?

All prices are net; VAT is added only where it applies. We work with businesses, public bodies and nonprofits, not consumers:

  • EU businesses, with or without a VAT ID, and organizations with a VAT ID: reverse charge (Article 196 of the EU VAT Directive). You account for the VAT; our invoice shows none.
  • EU public bodies and nonprofits without a VAT ID, such as schools and associations: hosting and Website Maintenance carry your country’s VAT, which we report through the non-Union OSS (Ireland). Website builds, migrations, audits, the Fix Pack, the sprints and Managed Visibility carry no VAT (place of supply: United States, § 3a(1) UStG). You pay by invoice and bank transfer, not through Stripe.
  • We check any VAT ID you give in VIES. If VIES doesn’t confirm it, we treat it as not given.
  • Customers outside the EU pay no VAT.
