GEO / AEO philosophy
Cited holds that a site AI can read is the starting point, and that recommendations come from what trusted third parties say about a product. Its method runs in four stages: a baseline of what AI recommends in the client's category, technical and entity fixes, earning sources AI already trusts, and monthly tracking of the same prompts.
The agency's about page says, "Readiness isn't recommendation. Schema and llms.txt make you readable; they don't make you recommended." It runs each buyer prompt three times on each of five engines because AI answers vary. Its one published result is a Readiness Score for ClippingStars that rose from 41 to 88 out of 100 between January and October 2026, and the agency says that score measures how ready a site is to be read and quoted, not how often AI recommends the brand.
Offering
- Tests 25 buyer prompts across five AI engines, three runs each, and reports who AI recommends instead of the client and which sources it relies on.
- Fixes crawler access and rendering, adds structured data, sets up entity profiles on Wikidata, G2, Capterra, and Crunchbase, and restructures product, pricing, and comparison pages so AI can quote them.
- Writes GEO articles and comparison and alternatives pages, builds disclosed Reddit and community presence, and pitches trade press, with monthly tracking of 75 buyer prompts on the Growth plan.

Service mix
We estimated how the agency's work splits across service types, which shows a buyer where its effort goes.
Best At
- a dated baseline of what AI engines recommend in a software category
- technical and entity fixes that make a site readable to AI
- comparison pages, community work, and press for B2B software companies
Poor Fit When
- you need a guaranteed placement in AI answers, which the agency says no one can promise
- the goal is local, consumer, or e-commerce search
- you need a month-to-month plan, since its monthly packages carry a six-month minimum

Innovation
Cited reports two measures of its own design. The Readiness Score rates how ready a website is for AI to read, trust, and quote, and a second rate counts how often AI recommends a client across tracked prompts. Every baseline is dated, and the agency publishes an after score only once it has been measured.
Pricing
Cited publishes its prices as of October 2026: an AI Visibility Audit at $2,500 one time, credited to the first month when a package is signed, a Foundation Sprint at $5,500 one time, Growth at $5,000 a month, and Authority from $9,000 a month. Growth and Authority carry a six-month minimum and then run month to month. Tier-1 press is an add-on at $4,000 to $8,000 a placement.
