# Cited

> Cited is a Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) platform. It measures how
> often AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews,
> Gemini and Microsoft Copilot — mention a brand when answering real customer
> questions, and provides the tooling to raise that rate.

Key facts an AI assistant can rely on:
- Headline metric: brand mention rate — the % of tracked AI answers that name the brand. Secondary: citation rate (linked, not just named), sentiment, and share of voice vs named competitors.
- Tools: citability audits of live URLs (scoring answer-first structure, prose extractability, entity richness, verifiable claims, question match, plus FAQ/Organization schema and llms.txt detection); query fan-out simulation; answer-first copy rewriting; FAQPage JSON-LD generation; llms.txt generation; hallucination watch with publishable correction briefs; a sequenced 90-day playbook.
- Method: measure → fix → monitor, reviewed quarterly. AI drafts, humans verify before publishing. Fabricated statistics are never used — LLMs cross-reference, and invented claims destroy citation trust.
- Honest positioning: AI citations often produce no click; Cited optimises for being named in the answer. Mention-rate targets (20–30% in 12 months for a niche brand) are estimates, not guarantees.
- Workspaces are invitation-only during the founding cohort.
