Be found again. By your customers, not your competitors.
People stopped scrolling lists of links. They ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and they trust the answer they get. If that answer names a competitor, you do not exist. AI Cite You turns your website into the source those answers cite, so customers find you, understand you, and can reach you.
◈ The visibility break, clicks to websites reported down up to −70%
Search engines became answer engines.
Classic SEO and sponsored reach were built for a page of blue links. That page is disappearing. An answer engine reads your site, decides who you are, and cites one source. We engineer your site to be that source, technically and editorially.

* Independent analyses through 2025 report click-through drops of 30–70% on queries where AI answers are shown. Your actual exposure is measured in the audit, we never work from estimates.
The same service, at three depths.
Customers who ask, find you
When a potential customer asks an AI assistant who to call, the assistant picks a name. Today it might be your competitor. We make it you, with a site that machines can read, verify and recommend.
Citations are the new rankings
Position #1 on a list nobody scrolls is worth less every month. The new metric is citation share inside AI answers. We measure it, grow it, and report it alongside traffic and conversions.
Engineered, not improvised
Entity identity, structured data, answer-ready content, AI crawler governance, accessibility, continuous verification, one auditable system on your existing site. No rebuild unless the audit proves it is needed.
Four moves. One system.
Measure, the honest baseline
We audit how AI engines and search see you today: crawler access, structured data, answer coverage, the questions your customers actually ask, and where competitors get cited instead of you.
Engineer, answers, not just pages
We rebuild the parts machines cannot read: direct-answer content on real questions, consistent entity identity, complete structured data, clean semantics and accessibility.
Deploy, open the right doors
Legitimate AI crawlers get explicit welcome and clear signals, while protections stay in place. Your site becomes reachable, readable and citable, without weakening security.
Verify, proof, not promises
We track AI crawler activity, citations, rankings and conversions against the baseline, and report real movement. You see what changed and what it produced.
The loop restarts
Engines change and questions evolve. Every verification cycle feeds the next round of improvements, new answers, new evidence, corrections on what measurement flags. Continuously.
The full protocol is documented on the method page.
What we can already prove.
AI Cite You is the service layer over the same AEO stack that runs this site. Every number below is measured live on aiciteyou.com, view source or curl it yourself.
Questions owners actually ask us.
What is AEO, exactly?
AEO, Answer Engine Optimization, is the discipline of making your business the source that AI assistants and answer engines cite. It covers how your content is written, how your data is structured and how machines can verify who you are.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for a list of results. AEO optimizes for the answer. They share foundations like speed and clean markup, but AEO adds direct-answer content, entity consistency, structured data and AI crawler management. We do both as one system.
How long until I see results?
Technical foundations improve immediately after deployment. Presence in AI answers is progressive: engines re-crawl and re-evaluate sources on their own schedule. That is why we measure continuously and report on real movement, not estimates.
What do you actually measure?
AI crawler activity on your site, citations in answer engines, structured data coverage, accessibility compliance, rankings and conversions. Every engagement starts with a baseline audit so progress is verifiable.
Do I need a new website?
Usually no. We work on your existing site, preserving what you have and upgrading what engines cannot read. If the platform is the blocker, we tell you honestly in the audit.
What does the first audit include?
A full picture of your current AI and search visibility: technical health, content gaps versus real user questions, structured data, crawler access and how your competitors appear in answers. You keep the audit either way.
Can your site still be found?
One audit tells you what answer engines see today, where you are losing to competitors, and exactly what to change. You keep the report either way.
