What is citedbyai.info?
Citedbyai.info offers ASEO (AI Search Engine Optimisation) services focused on getting your brand cited inside AI‑generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, rather than just ranking in traditional search results. The platform runs a comprehensive 28‑module AI visibility audit across five AI platforms, measuring your AI Share of Voice, technically assessing AI crawler access, and evaluating how ai systems understand your content. It then provides specific, prioritised fixes—such as schema markup, llms.txt, and publish‑ready citable content blocks—to increase the likelihood that major AI models will fetch and reference your website.
The service is built around the Citation Probability Score® (CPS®), a 0–100 metric that scores each page on citability using five pillars: content structure, fact density, answer architecture, self‑containment, and freshness. Beyond reporting scores, the tool generates an AI Accuracy Audit that checks whether AI responses about your brand match your actual homepage data, flagging hallucinated pricing, locations, services, or unfair competitive comparisons. This makes it especially useful for agencies, SaaS companies, professional services, and larger brands that want to track and improve how often—and how accurately—AI mentions them.
For teams, Citedbyai.info also includes competitive intelligence modules, such as head‑to‑head win rates, funnel‑stage and buyer‑persona SOV, citation drift tracking, and a Zero‑Gap Topic Matrix that maps content gaps across awareness, consideration, and decision stages. The platform integrates with GA4 to show AI‑referred traffic and conversions and can be white‑labelled for agencies that want to deliver AI visibility reports under their own brand. Overall, the tool targets organisations serious about AI search visibility who need both deep diagnostic audits and concrete, platform‑specific optimisation actions, not just a surface‑level score.

Frequently asked questions about citedbyai.info
What exactly is ASEO?
ASEO, or AI Search Engine Optimisation, is the practice of optimising your online presence so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot cite your brand, content, and expertise in their generated answers. Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking links in a search results page, ASEO focuses on appearing inside the AI‑generated response itself, requiring structured, entity‑rich, and answer‑oriented content that AI systems can retrieve and trust.
What is the Citation Probability Score®?
The Citation Probability Score® is a 0–100 metric that measures how likely an AI model is to retrieve and cite a specific page. Each page is scored across five weighted pillars: content structure, fact density, answer architecture, self‑containment, and freshness. Pages below a certain grade receive specific rewrite recommendations instead of generic advice, so you know exactly which blocks to change to improve citability.
How does the AI Accuracy Audit work?
The AI Accuracy Audit runs the same brand‑related prompts across five AI platforms and cross‑checks each response against your verified homepage data. It flags hallucinated pricing, locations, services, or unfair competitive comparisons by comparing each factual claim the AI makes with what is actually present on your site. The free audit includes a snapshot over three platforms, while full audits extend this to all five platforms and integrate the results into the broader visibility report.
What is AI Share of Voice by funnel stage?
Funnel‑stage AI Share of Voice breaks your SOV into awareness, consideration, and decision stages, showing whether AI cites you when people are just starting research, evaluating options, or ready to buy. Most brands only appear in decision‑stage answers, allowing competitors to dominate earlier stages; this metric helps you identify those gaps and adjust your content strategy accordingly.
Do you only optimise for Google AI Overviews?
No. The service optimises for multiple platforms, including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Claude (Anthropic), Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and Google AI surfaces. Each platform behaves differently in how it selects and cites sources, so the audit and recommendations are tailored to the specific citation patterns and technical requirements of each system.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients see measurable improvements in AI citation frequency within 60–90 days of implementing the recommendations. Building full authority and consistently favourable positioning typically takes 4–6 months, depending on the starting CPS scores, content footprint, and how quickly suggested changes are deployed.
Can I use this alongside traditional SEO?
Yes. Traditional SEO and ASEO are designed to be complementary. AI models often cite content that already ranks well organically, so the two disciplines reinforce each other. The platform advises a layered strategy where page‑level SEO continues to matter while ASEO focuses on block‑level citability, funnel‑stage coverage, and hallucination risk reduction.
How do you track changes in AI visibility over time?
The audit framework includes automated API analysis that runs monthly across five AI platforms, feeding data into a 28‑module report. On top of that, monthly human spot‑checks are performed where real queries are run on real devices, and the results are logged. Run‑over‑run trend tracking covers SOV, AI Influence Score, funnel‑stage coverage, sentiment, and citation sources, with alerts when SOV moves by ±5 points.
Do you provide publish‑ready content, or only guidance?
The service includes an AEO Content Writer that generates publish‑ready content blocks for every high‑priority gap identified in the audit. Each block is pre‑scored against the citability formula so you know it is likely to perform before it goes live. You can publish it as‑is or hand it to your team as a detailed brief with clear rewrites.
Is there a white‑label option for agencies?
Yes. Agencies and resellers can white‑label the full 28‑module ASEO audit, applying their own branding, logo, and margin. Starter agency plans start from £497 per month and cover three full client reports, allowing agencies to deliver AI visibility audits and monitoring under their own brand without building the stack themselves.
