Professional services for Answer Engine Optimization
As the first GEO-only agency, starting in 2023, we already have years of experience optimizing LLMs as they’ve rapidly evolved. Our clients range from one of the largest private equity firms, to regional healthcare organizations, to important law firms. We also have achieved great results with reputation management for leading executives.
Even though we’re an AI company, we’ve found that heavily involving experienced humans at every stage is critical to successful Answer Engine Optimization. Citate.ai’s proprietary platform gives our forward-deployed engineers an incredible advantage because of its extraordinary accuracy in day-by-day brand visibility performance by prompt and industry, allowing us to respond quickly to changes. And thanks to the tens of thousands of targeted AI answers we collect each month for every client, our team can leverage hundreds of highly relevant URLs and topics driving AI answers.
Critically, unlike other agencies, we’re extremely cautious not to draw Google SEO penalties by abusing content scaling. We integrate with your team to identify knowledge gain your company can uniquely offer as content so it will stand out in AI Answers. We also have an exclusive relationship with sister agency WhiteHatWiki.com, the world’s leading Wikipedia corporate consultancy, to take advantage of Wikipedia’s outsized influence on LLMs.
Take Citate.ai to the next level with professional services from our forward-deployed GEO engineers.
What the team does
Six workstreams, one loop
Strategy and research
Assess AI search adoption and map opportunities across platforms. Set goals for brand, link and informational prominence, and for reputation or bias. Benchmark AI visibility, sentiment and misinformation before anything is written.
Smart content at scale
Create content that earns authority using Citate Ranked Topics and Links. Build strategies from real customer language and LLM insights, and audit existing pages into AI-friendly formats like FAQs, Q&A and lists.
Scoring and prioritization
Our scoring model turns insight into action: diagnose pages for blockers, prioritize high-impact changes by potential lift and effort, then validate progress by rescoring and updating the roadmap after each release.
External authority building
Promote content to attract high-value backlinks and industry coverage. Using Citate Ranked Links, we advise your comms team on the highest-priority trusted third-party sources to pursue for citations and mentions. Wikipedia opportunities go through our sister company, WhiteHatWiki.
Ongoing monitoring and measurement
Track AI visibility scores and rankings across LLMs. Ongoing tracking and scoring of reputational issues in Citate. Monitor AI referral traffic, sentiment and competitor performance, and refine the content and technical approach to hold top placement.
Technical optimization
Fast pages and current sitemaps for faster discovery. Make sure AI bots can access and index your site. Clean semantic HTML, JSON-LD schema and structured data, checked against the rules Google actually enforces.
The engagement
How an engagement runs
01
Baseline read
We sample the prompts your buyers actually use across every major model, thousands of times, and show you where you stand with the sources behind every answer.
02
Plan and priorities
A written roadmap: which gaps to close first, which pages to refresh, which third-party sources to pursue, and what we expect each to move.
03
Embed and execute
Our engineers work inside your team and your tools. Content, technical fixes and outreach ship on a cadence you set, with human review before anything publishes.
04
Report and confirm
Every change is re-measured. You get the before and after with receipts, not a monthly PDF, and the plan is updated from what actually moved.
Also from the team
Reputation management for people and companies
When the problem is what AI says about a name rather than a category, the same team runs a confidential reputation practice.
