Clear Cited is a full-stack AI search optimization (AEO/GEO) service for DevOps, developer tools, and B2B SaaS companies. It solves the problem of being invisible in AI-generated answers when potential buyers ask for tool recommendations. The service measures and improves a brand's share of model across six major AI engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Grok, plus Google's AI surfaces.

What Makes Clear Cited Stand Out

Full-stack approach: Combines SEO foundation, answer-first content, off-site authority, and rigorous measurement into one done-for-you service.
Reproducible measurement: Runs each buyer prompt 10+ times per engine and reports median share of model with 95% confidence intervals, never relying on single screenshots.
Engine-specific optimization: Fixes per-engine differences since AI answers vary significantly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.
AI-speed, you-approved: Content and assets are researched and drafted quickly using AI acceleration, then reviewed and approved by you before publishing.
Data-driven content strategy: Researches topics across YouTube, Reddit, Dev.to, Hashnode, Medium, Stack Exchange, and search to create assets that earn engagement in your specific niche.

Who Should Use Clear Cited

DevOps and developer tool companies already struggling to appear in AI answers when buyers ask for CI/CD, observability, or database recommendations, and need a systematic, measured approach to fix it.
B2B SaaS startups at Seed to Series A stage that cannot afford enterprise GEO agencies ($10k+/month) but need more than a DIY dashboard, seeking a productized done-for-service at $1,500/month.
US companies serving US buyers that want frictionless cross-border collaboration with W-8BEN tax forms, USD billing, and fully async communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO, also known as AI SEO or GEO, is the practice of getting your brand recommended and cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Grok. As buyers increasingly ask AI before shortlisting, these citations drive discovery and pipeline.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO optimizes for ranked links on a search engine results page. AEO optimizes to be the cited source inside a synthesized AI answer, which depends more on entity clarity, structured data, and third-party citations (about 95% of AI citations come from third-party sources).

Do you guarantee we'll get cited?

No honest provider can guarantee AI citations because AI engines change constantly. Clear Cited guarantees rigorous measurement and evidence-based work, tying its retainer to a measurable share-of-model target.
