AI Visibility Intelligence for Growth Teams

BrandCited is an AI visibility platform built for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). It tracks how often AI engines cite your brand in generated answers, scores your AI-readiness across 84 ranking factors, and ranks the fixes that lift your citation rate the fastest.

Every scan tests your brand across 9 AI engines using real prompt-based queries that mirror what your customers ask. Results normalize into a 0-100 AI Visibility Index that updates daily. A full scan completes in under 30 seconds.

The 9 AI engines covered:

BrandCited monitors ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Grok (xAI), DeepSeek, Llama (Meta), Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Together these cover roughly 99% of consumer and enterprise AI-assistant usage. Each engine has different crawler requirements and citation behavior; BrandCited tests them in parallel.

Methodology: 84 checks across 8 categories

The AI Visibility Index is calculated from 84 individual checks grouped into 8 weighted categories, each mapped to a known AI ranking factor:

• Crawler Access: robots.txt, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended

• Structured Data: Organization, Product, FAQPage, Article, Review, HowTo, Author JSON-LD schemas, validated against Schema.org

• Content Quality: heading structure, semantic HTML, FAQ density, passage readiness, content depth, freshness, internal links

• Content Authenticity: visible "last updated" markers, machine-readable time elements, source attribution density per paragraph

• Entity Presence: Wikidata QID, Google Knowledge Graph MID, Wikipedia presence, sameAs link graph, brand name consistency, local presence - Technical: Core Web Vitals (INP, CrUX field data), HTTPS, security headers, canonical tags, sitemap quality, duplicate content

• Trust & Authority: backlink quality, tier-weighted news coverage, reviews, testimonials, social profiles

• Answer Prominence: first-mention rate, citation link presence, AI Overview ownership, rank position, share of voice

Every check returns a fix with code snippet and expected score lift.

Who it's for:

BrandCited fits brands already investing in SEO and content marketing who now need to see how that work translates into AI search visibility. Founders use it to validate AI presence before investor conversations. Marketing teams use it to defend share of voice as audiences shift from Google to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. SEO agencies use it to add a GEO line item to client retainers.

How it compares:

BrandCited is a dedicated GEO and AEO platform, not a feature inside a larger SEO suite. As an alternative to competitors it goes deeper on technical AI-readiness scoring than monitoring-only tools. It complements traditional SEO platforms like Ahrefs, Semrush, SimilarWeb, and Moz rather than replacing them, because GEO measures a different surface than Google keyword ranking.
