Seed, 2026

In 2025 our founders ran growth at a B2B software startup. Search traffic held steady, but demo requests from new buyers kept falling. When they asked prospects how they found vendors, the same answer came back again and again: “I asked ChatGPT.”

So they checked. Their product was missing from almost every answer, while two larger rivals showed up every time. No tool could show them why, or what to change. So they built one.

Today Cited checks AI answers every day for more than 1,200 marketing teams. We still believe what we believed then: the best product should be easy for AI to find, understand and recommend.

What we believe.

Three rules we use to decide what to build next.

01

Show the evidence

Every number in Cited links back to the AI answer and the sources behind it. No black boxes.

02

Earn it, don’t game it

We help brands get recommended by being clear and credible, never with spam, fake reviews or tricks.

03

Small teams first

We build for lean marketing teams: a useful audit in minutes, not a six-week setup.
