How it works
Free AI-visibility audit
We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and DeepSeek the questions your buyers actually ask, and measure whether your product is mentioned, where it ranks and which sources the engines cite.
Fix what the engines see
We work on the sources AI engines pull from: your own site structure and facts, third-party pages that get cited, and wrong or outdated statements about your product.
Pay for results
A base fee plus a bonus that is only paid when agreed metrics improve on a fixed question set we re-test together.
What we measure
| Metric | What it means |
|---|---|
| Mention rate | Share of answers to your question set that mention your product. |
| Position | Where your product appears when an answer lists several options. |
| Cited sources | Which pages the engine cites — these are the pages worth improving or earning. |
| Accuracy | Whether the engine describes your product, pricing and features correctly. |
SEO vs GEO
| Traditional SEO | GEO (what we do) | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank pages in search results | Be mentioned and cited inside AI answers |
| Where buyers see you | A list of blue links | A single generated answer, often with a short list of recommendations |
| Main signal | Rankings and organic clicks | Mention rate, position and cited sources across engines |
| How to verify | Rank trackers, Search Console | Re-run a fixed question set on each engine, several times |
GEO does not replace SEO: AI engines with web search still read pages that search engines index.
Why engineer-led
- Every number we report comes from a documented, repeatable test: fixed questions, named engines, multiple runs.
- We are building our audit tool, citeshine-audit, as open source so you can check our method.
- Our first public case is ourselves: we track whether AI engines mention Citeshine, starting from zero.
FAQ
What is GEO?
GEO (generative engine optimization) is the work of making a product show up, and be described correctly, in answers generated by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and DeepSeek.
Is the audit really free?
Yes. The audit is free and comes with no obligation. You only pay if you decide to work with us after seeing the results.
Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my product?
No one can guarantee that. AI answers vary between runs and change over time. That is why our pricing ties the bonus to metrics measured on a fixed question set, re-tested several times.
Which AI engines do you test?
ChatGPT, Perplexity and DeepSeek. Results from APIs and logged-out sessions can differ from what an individual user sees, and we state how each result was collected.
Do you attack or discredit competitors?
No. We do not do negative GEO. We only work on accurate, positive information about your own product.
