Citable

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Citable is an AI-powered brand visibility analysis and generative engine optimization (GEO) platform. It operates in the technical category of AI-driven digital marketing analytics, leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to audit how AI platforms (e.g., Perplexity, ChatGPT) perceive and cite brands.
2. Core Value Proposition: Citable exists to help businesses optimize their digital citability in AI-generated answers, ensuring accurate brand representation, improving organic growth, and capturing high-intent traffic by identifying gaps in AI visibility. Primary keywords: AI brand visibility, generative engine optimization, AI citability.

Main Features

1. AI-Powered Brand Visibility Analysis:

   • How it works: Citable’s NLP algorithms scan AI platforms (e.g., Perplexity) for brand mentions in high-intent queries. It categorizes citations by source type (UGC, editorial, corporate) and intent, using entity recognition to map contextual sentiment.
   • Technology: Combines transformer-based models (like BERT) with real-time data crawling to track citation volume, sentiment, and competitor comparisons.

2. Persona-Based GEO (Generative Engine Optimization):

   • How it works: Tests how AI answers vary for different customer personas (e.g., "Jimmy" vs. "Stacy"). It identifies message gaps by simulating persona-specific queries and prioritizing content updates to align with target audience expectations.
   • Technology: Uses persona modeling and query clustering to generate GEO-specific action plans, integrating with CMS platforms for seamless implementation.

3. Competitive AI Intent Landscape Mapping:

   • How it works: Analyzes which competitors AI recommends for key queries, their brand differentiators, and trust signals. Visualizes market share via intent heatmaps and identifies "missing value gaps" for strategic content creation.
   • Technology: Employs competitive intelligence APIs and semantic analysis to benchmark performance across 50+ intent categories.

4. GEO Agent Action Scheduler:

   • How it works: Converts insights into traceable tasks (e.g., "Comment on r/visibility4AI posts," "Publish video explainers"). Integrates with project tools like Trello via webhooks for team coordination.
   • Technology: Rule-based automation engine with priority scoring based on ROI potential (e.g., signup-driven intents).

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Brands lose signups when AI misrepresents their value proposition or fails to cite them for high-intent queries. Citable solves AI invisibility and message misalignment in generative search results.
2. Target Audience:
   • Product-led growth (PLG) teams at SMBs needing measurable GEO.
   • Marketing managers optimizing for AI-driven organic traffic.
   • Agencies auditing multi-client AI visibility.
   • Content marketers prioritizing persona-specific messaging.
3. Use Cases:
   • Auditing AI citations for a new product launch to ensure accurate feature representation.
   • Identifying competitor weaknesses in AI answers to capture market share.
   • Aligning content strategy with emerging intents (e.g., "best CRM for startups").

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike traditional SEO tools (e.g., SEMrush), Citable focuses exclusively on generative AI visibility, combining persona-based testing with real-time competitive benchmarking. Competitors lack its GEO-specific action scheduler and persona gap analysis.
2. Key Innovation: Proprietary "Persona-Matters" technology simulates customer-specific AI interactions, enabling brands to preemptively optimize messaging before users engage. This reduces customer acquisition costs by 30% (per case studies).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does generative engine optimization (GEO) differ from SEO?
   GEO optimizes content for AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity) by prioritizing conversational intent and persona alignment, while SEO targets traditional search engines via keywords and backlinks.
2. What AI visibility metrics does Citable track?
   Citable monitors citation volume, sentiment accuracy, persona-specific message gaps, competitor share of voice, and high-intent query coverage.
3. Can Citable integrate with existing marketing tools?
   Yes, it syncs with CMS platforms, project management tools (e.g., Asana), and analytics suites via API webhooks for seamless workflow automation.
4. How quickly can brands improve AI citability using GEO?
   Most users see measurable uplift in 7 days, including baseline visibility reports and priority actions, with full campaign impact in 4–6 weeks.
