  description

  Most content teams losing ground in AI search are optimising the wrong things.
  
  ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews don't cite the page that ranks #1. They cite the page that most directly answers the question - structured in a way AI can extract and synthesise cleanly. That's a different game from SEO. And most teams don't realise they're playing it wrong until they check their traffic.
  
  Cited analyses any webpage in ~30 seconds and tells you exactly what's making it citation-worthy - or what's holding it back.
  
  What you get
  1. AEO Signal Score: A deterministic score calculated from actual page signals: schema markup, content structure, question patterns, and format. Not a number the AI made up.
  2. Question Patterns: The exact queries this page is likely being cited for in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. Tagged by intent (definitional, educational, comparative, procedural) and citation likelihood.
  3. E-E-A-T Breakdown: An assessment of Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. Each dimension backed by specific evidence from the page, not just a tick.
  4. Content Gaps: What's specifically missing from this page that's limiting its citation potential. Ranked by priority.
  5. Ready-to-use Content Brief: A structured brief your writer can act on the same day. Includes recommended title, positioning angle, target questions, content structure, and must-include elements. One click to copy.
  6. Action Items: Prioritised fixes sorted by impact vs. effort.
  
  Cited measures on-page AEO signals - the structural and content factors that make a page easier for AI engines to extract and cite. A high score means the page is well-structured for citation. A low score doesn't guarantee a page won't be cited, since AI engines also weigh domain authority, brand trust, and backlink profiles that exist outside the page itself. Use Cited to identify what to fix on your own pages and what structural advantages your competitors have - not as a citation predictor.
  
  Who it's for 
  SEO analysts and content strategists doing competitor research. Content teams building for AI search visibility. Growth marketers who want to understand why competitor pages get cited - and how to outdo them.
