Founders
Cited AI was founded to bring measurement discipline to AI search visibility. Formed out of two careers spent on digital presence, AI systems and business transformation — and the realisation that AI visibility needed the same measurement discipline. Cited AI was started on the view that AI visibility is an operations and measurement problem, not a publicity one.
Every Cited AI engagement is run directly with senior leaders. There is no account-management layer and no junior handover.

Answer Engine Optimisation, explained
What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimisation is the practice of getting your brand cited, quoted and recommended inside AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini. Instead of ranking a blue link, AEO earns your brand a place inside the single synthesised answer users now read.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO optimises to rank pages in a list of search results. AEO optimises to be the source an AI engine cites when it answers a question directly. They share foundations — quality content, structured data, authority — but AEO focuses on entity clarity, answer-ready content and citations across AI platforms rather than click-through from a results page.
How long does AEO take to show results?
Most brands see measurable movement in how engines cite them within 90 days, with share of answer compounding over 6–12 months as authority and structured data mature.
