01 / The blind spot
Your search dashboard cannot show a buyer’s AI shortlist.
The answer is assembled off-site, often without a click. That makes traditional attribution quiet at exactly the moment a buyer is learning your category, comparing vendors and deciding whom to trust.
02 / The evidence system
One audit. Six decision-ready outputs.
Every conclusion is traceable to a prompt, model, run date and raw response.
↗
Four-engine baseline
Mention, citation and recommendation rates across four answer engines—repeated three times to expose variance.
Competitive share of voice
A prompt-level view of who owns the answer, which sources lift them, and where your brand disappears.
False-claim evidence
Dated answer excerpts documenting stale facts, hallucinations and category confusion before they become buyer truth.
Technical diagnosis
Crawler access, schema, entity consistency, source consensus, content structure and freshness—checked, not guessed.
90-day action sequence
The highest-leverage fixes ordered by evidence, effort and expected visibility impact for your team to execute.

Why I built this ↗“I came from aerospace manufacturing, where a confident claim without evidence was a process failure. CitedMetrics applies the same discipline to a new, opaque buying surface.”

01How is this different from SEO — or an SEO audit?+
AI engines synthesize answers from sources they trust instead of ranking ten links. We measure whether you're inside those answers and diagnose why not — content structure, entities, schema, AI-crawler access. It overlaps SEO; it isn't SEO.
02Which AI engines and models do you test?+
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity — current production models, named with versions and run dates in your report.
03AI answers change constantly — how is this reliable?+
That's exactly why every prompt runs 3 times and variance is reported. A single run is an anecdote. An averaged, dated baseline is a measurement.
04What if my brand is already mentioned sometimes?+
Then the audit shows where you win, where you lose, to whom, and why. Most brands are partially visible — and unaware of which buying prompts they lose.
05What exactly arrives in 5 business days?+
A 20+ page PDF: visibility baseline, competitor share-of-voice, sentiment and hallucination findings with evidence, technical root-cause analysis, and a prioritized 60–90-day roadmap — plus the raw scored data.
06Do you implement the fixes too?+
Optionally, yes. A remediation retainer from $1,500/mo implements the roadmap and re-measures monthly — and your audit fee credits toward the first month. The audit also stands alone; many clients hand the roadmap to their own team.
07Why should I trust a new firm?+
You don't have to take our word: the methodology is published above, every finding links to raw engine output, and the keep-the-report guarantee means a useless report costs you nothing.
08Is my data confidential?+
Yes. Your report, prompts and results are never shared, resold, or used in our marketing without written permission.
Evidence changes the conversation.
