There were ten links. Now there's one answer.
Scroll, and watch what happens to the old search results.
You didn't move down the list. You were left out. That's the difference between old search and new, and it's why Citato exists.
answer is what AI gives. Not ten links. If you're not in it, you don't exist in the decision.
% is roughly the share of AI citations that come from third-party sources. Your own website isn't enough.
weeks for AI engines to re-process your site after the foundation work, and for the first change to become measurable.
Based on industry benchmarks. Exact figures vary by market and sector, which is why we measure each client separately.
SEO optimises to be listed. We optimise to be recommended.
Many agencies will say “that's included in SEO”. It isn't. Google's link list and the AI's single answer need different techniques, different measurement and a different goal.
Ranking in a link list
- Optimises for keywords
- Goal: Google's first page
- Success measured by position
- You're one of ten results
- AI is bolted on afterwards
Recommendation in the AI's answer
- Optimises for entities and citable knowledge
- Goal: be one of the one or two names recommended
- Success measured by citations, per engine
- One answer, one name: yours
- Built exclusively for this, not as a by-product
For every business whose customers do their research before deciding.
If anyone ever asked a friend “who would you recommend?”, today they ask the AI the same thing. The stakes are the same in every industry: being in the answer.
Law firms
“Which lawyer handles property law in my area?” In trust-based decisions, the first recommendation wins.
Private clinics
“Where should I go for a private dermatologist?” Patients follow the AI's suggestion, not the ad.
Accountants, advisors
“Which accountant would you recommend for a small business?” Expertise has to be proven to the AI too.
Salons, aesthetics
“Where's the best balayage nearby?” Local search is AI search now.
Manufacturers and B2B services
“Which supplier is a reliable B2B partner?” The long decision path starts with the AI.
Your industry too
If you have customers who choose, there's something at stake. The free audit shows where you stand.
Check for yourself where you stand. Now, for free.
Enter your website address and the auditor checks live what a machine genuinely can: structured data, AI-crawler access, llms.txt, technical foundations, accessibility. What can't be measured automatically, we don't pretend to: those points get a manual check instead.
An honest tool: it shows separately what was measured by machine and what needs an expert's eye. The total score isn't inflated.
Not magic. A system.
We don't promise a guaranteed first place, because nobody can keep that promise. What we deliver: every step that maximises your odds, and measurement so you can see it.
Audit
We measure how the AI sees you today: whether you appear, what it finds about you, where competitors are ahead. A concrete, prioritised action list.
Foundation
Structured data, a clean entity definition, consolidated business data. We make it unambiguous to the machine who you are, what you do, for whom and where.
Citability
Sourced, extractable knowledge around your brand, on your site and beyond it. Not AI spam. Verifiable content.
Measurement
We track where and for which questions you appear, per engine. Regular re-scoring, transparent reporting. Data, not feelings.
Start free. Stay because it works.
No lock-in, no hidden fees. We want the results to keep you, not the contract.
Foundation
One-time technical build: Schema.org, entity structure, llms.txt, AI-crawler setup, business-data consolidation, citable content blocks. This is the work that makes the machine understand you.
