Talk to our team

It's how often assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity mention and recommend your brand when people ask about your category. Cited turns it into one visibility score from 0 to 100%.

No. Nobody can change the models. Cited changes what AI finds about you on the web: the pages, reviews and comparisons it reads before it answers.

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. Starter includes three models of your choice; Growth and above include all five.

SEO tools measure rankings and clicks on search result pages. Cited reads the AI answers themselves: who is mentioned, in what position, and which sources the model relied on.

Your first audit is ready in about 60 seconds. Most teams see new mentions within a few weeks of publishing, and an average of 180% more AI mentions within 60 days.

Yes. The Agency plan covers up to 15 brands, each in its own workspace, with branded reports you can send to every client.
