Question 1

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Accepted Answer

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is how SEO agencies help clients get cited in AI-generated answers. Instead of optimizing only for traditional search rankings, GEO makes content clear, structured, and authoritative so LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, and Gemini understand and reference your clients' brands.

Question 2

How does CiteGenius track AI citations?

Accepted Answer

CiteGenius queries AI search engines with keywords tied to each client domain. We analyze responses for brand mentions, competitor citations, sentiment, and placement — then calculate an AI Visibility Score (AVS) and highlight gaps your team can fix.

Question 3

Which AI engines does CiteGenius support?

Accepted Answer

Plans include ChatGPT on every tier. Starter adds Perplexity. Pro covers all four major engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Bing Copilot. We add new platforms as they become trackable.

Question 4

Who should use CiteGenius?

Accepted Answer

CiteGenius is built for SEO and digital marketing agencies managing multiple client domains. If clients ask why they are invisible in ChatGPT or Perplexity, you need multi-client dashboards, citation gap reports, and white-label deliverables — not another single-site SEO tool.

Question 5

How much does CiteGenius cost?

Accepted Answer

Start free with 1 client and 3 GEO audits per month — no credit card required. Starter is $29/month for up to 3 clients and 100 queries per month. Pro is $99/month for up to 10 clients, 500 queries per month, all AI engines, white-label reports, and API access. See pricing for full limits.

Question 6

How does CiteGenius help improve a client's GEO score?

Accepted Answer

Each audit surfaces four metrics — AI Visibility Score (AVS), GEO Readability Index (GRI), Structured Data Compliance (SDC), and Authority Weight (AW). CiteGenius turns those scores into prioritized fixes: schema markup, FAQ sections, content structure, and authority-building steps your team can deliver.

Question 7

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO targets rankings in search result pages. GEO targets citations inside AI-generated answers. Agencies still need technical SEO fundamentals, but GEO also requires structured data, clear definitions, comparison content, and presence in sources LLMs trust when synthesizing responses.

Question 8

Do I need technical knowledge to use CiteGenius?

Accepted Answer

No. CiteGenius is designed for account managers and strategists, not just developers. Recommendations are written in plain language, with copy-paste schema snippets your dev team can implement. Run a free GEO scan at /geo-check to see a sample audit before creating an agency account.

Question 9

How to track if ChatGPT cites my website?

Accepted Answer

Run targeted keywords through a GEO audit tool like CiteGenius that queries ChatGPT (and other engines) with buyer-intent phrases, then checks whether your domain appears in the response sources. Track citation rate per keyword weekly and compare against competitors in the citation gap report.

Question 10

How to monitor Perplexity citations for clients?

Accepted Answer

Add each client domain to your agency dashboard, configure their target keywords, and run Perplexity-backed audits on Starter plans or above. CiteGenius stores AI responses, extracts cited URLs, and highlights keywords where competitors appear but your client does not.

Question 11

What is a GEO audit for agency clients?

Accepted Answer

A GEO audit simulates how AI search engines answer questions related to a client's industry and keywords, then measures whether the client's domain is cited. Agencies use GEO audits to baseline AI visibility, prioritize content fixes, and deliver white-label reports that prove ROI beyond traditional SEO rankings.
