What's Included

Built for the post-search era.

AI Citation Audit

We benchmark how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude cite your brand vs. competitors across 200+ category-relevant prompts.

Schema & Structured Data

Full schema.org rollout (Organization, FAQ, HowTo, Product) engineered for retrieval-augmented generation systems, not 2018 SEO.

Citable Content Architecture

We rewrite and restructure your top assets into the chunked, declarative formats LLMs prefer to lift verbatim into answers.

Authority Footprint Building

Targeted placement on the third-party sources LLMs trust most: Wikipedia, G2, industry wikis, podcasts, and expert directories.

Live Citation Monitoring

Daily tracking of how AI engines describe your brand, your category, and your competitors, so you catch hallucinations and shifts fast.

Hallucination Defense

When AI engines describe your product wrong, we deploy correction protocols (content edits, source seeding, and direct provider feedback) to fix the record.

How We Deliver

From invisible to inevitable in four moves.

01

Citation baseline

We probe each major AI engine with 200+ category prompts and score where you appear, where competitors appear, and where the answer is wrong.

02

Authority gap analysis

We identify exactly which third-party sources the LLMs are pulling from, and where your authority footprint is missing.

03

Content & schema rollout

Citable rewrites, structured data deployment, authority placements, executed end-to-end so your team isn't pulled off roadmap work.

04

Track, defend, compound

Daily citation monitoring, monthly defense sprints, and quarterly audits keep you embedded as the cited authority as engines evolve.
