Can ChatGPT read your website?

Type in your website address. We check whether AI crawlers can access and understand your pages, and point out what needs fixing.

Search became a conversation. If you're not in the answer, you lose the customer without ever knowing.

How it works

Every day, we ask the AIs the questions your customer would ask.

01

We ask

The system asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Google AI the questions your customers ask before buying.

02

We show you

You see whether AI cites you or your competitor, in what position, favorably or not, and where it pulled the answer from.

03

The Engine publishes

The Engine writes and publishes the page that answers each question you were left out of, and comes back the next day to cover the next one.

How AI decides who to cite

AI has two memories. We work on both.

That's what explains why it cites your competitor today, and where you can get in.

Slow · weeks to months

Long-term memory

It's what the model learned in training, up to its cutoff date. When AI answers from memory, the answer comes from here. It only changes when the model is retrained, so every bit of presence you build now gets baked into the next version.

Fast · real time

Live search

When ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Google AI search the web at answer time. This is where results show up first: we get you into the sources AI pulls answers from and, within a few weeks, your name starts showing up.

A business that wasn't cited can start being cited. First in live search, then, once the model is retrained, in long-term memory. That's why it pays to start now.

In practice

Today AI recommends your competitor. After Citado, it recommends you.

We get your business into the places AI pulls answers from and track it week by week, until your name shows up.

What doesn't work

AI doesn't make things up. It repeats what's in the sources.

If you don't show up, it's because you're not in the places it pulls answers from. Before promising anything, let's be clear about what doesn't work:

“Posting daily on Instagram gets me into ChatGPT.”

When someone asks AI, it doesn't read your feed. Instagram helps people discover you; it doesn't get you cited in answers.

“I'll just create forum posts praising my business.”

Fake reviews are detectable, violate platform terms and burn your brand. What counts is real presence in the sources AI consults.

“If I pay for ads, AI will cite me.”

Ads don't make it into AI answers. It cites the sources it trusts, and none of them sell that space.

You're not on your own

The diagnosis comes with execution, not just a report.

Knowing AI cites your competitor changes nothing by itself. What changes things is getting into the right sources, and that's what we work on with you.

01

Target source list

The exact places AI pulls answers from in your niche: lists, directories, communities. We point out where you need to be.

02

Pages published on autopilot

The Engine writes and publishes the pages AI uses to cite you, on citado.cloud or on your own site.

03

PR and review templates

Ready-made templates to get into regional lists and turn happy customers into reviews, the thing that weighs most in AI's decision.

04

Daily tracking

Your prompts run every day and the dashboard shows what moved up, in what position and from which source.

Works for brick-and-mortar and for 100% online businesses. Only the source changes: there it's Google Maps and local lists; here it's product reviews, comparisons and niche communities. The logic is the same.

FAQ

What is Citado, in one sentence?

Citado is the AI citation monitoring tool: it shows whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Google AI recommend your business and works to get you into those answers.

How do I know if ChatGPT recommends my business?

Citado automatically asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Google AI what your customers ask before buying, and shows whether AI cites you or your competitor, in what position and which source the answer came from. It's an AI citation monitoring diagnosis.

How do I get ChatGPT to recommend my company?

AI doesn't make things up: it repeats what's in the sources it trusts. For ChatGPT to start recommending your company, you need to exist in those sources: lists, reviews, directories and structured content. Citado shows which sources you're missing from and gives you the path to get into them. That's GEO, optimization for AI engines.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), also called AEO, is the work of getting AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini to cite and recommend your brand. It's the equivalent of SEO for the AI era: instead of ranking on Google, you become the answer AI gives.

Why does AI recommend my competitor and not me?

Because your competitor shows up in the sources AI consults (best-of lists, reviews, directories) and you don't. You simply don't exist in the places it pulls answers from. Citado pinpoints exactly where that gap is.

How long until AI starts citing me?

In live search (when AI searches the web at answer time), results usually show up within weeks to about two months. In the model's training memory, only at the next retrain; that's why the sooner you start, the better.

Does it work for local and online businesses?

Yes. For a local business, AI cites Google Maps, Yelp and regional lists. For a 100% online business, it cites comparisons, product reviews and niche communities. Citado's logic is the same for both: find the sources, get into them and measure until AI recommends you.
