What’s actually included.

All tiers

  • Probing across all 5 major AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude).
  • Citation-share, position, snippet, and volatility metrics in the Cited dashboard.
  • Month-end PDF report auto-generated and delivered.
  • Email support and monthly strategy check-ins.
  • GA4 integration templates for AI-referral attribution.

Growth adds

  • 6–10 off-site assets produced by the 7-agent pipeline (content-strategist, content-writer, content-qa, distribution-planner) and approved by a human.
  • Distribution across directory sites, LinkedIn, Reddit, and PR channels.
  • Real-time drift alerts on any weekly citation drop >5 percentage points.
  • Bi-weekly strategy calls; private Slack channel.

Dominate adds

  • 15–20+ assets/month across the full channel matrix, including Wikipedia-ready entity copy and YouTube transcript ops.
  • Weekly strategy calls with a dedicated GEO lead.
  • Custom dashboard views; SOC 2 compliance; EU data residency on request.
  • Niche-engine probing on request (Copilot, You.com, vertical engines).

How this priced against the rest of the market.

Within the GEO category, the split is between software and services. Software licenses (Otterly.ai ~$29/mo, Peec AI ~EUR 89/mo, AthenaHQ $249–$499/mo, Profound $99–$399/mo self-serve, Evertune $3,000+/mo) give you dashboards. Services like Cited give you dashboards plus the content engine that turns the dashboard green. The equivalent bundled spend on the software path — license + freelance content team + distribution contractor + strategy consultant — typically runs $8,000–$12,000/month for comparable output.

The full side-by-sides: vs Profound, vs Otterly, vs Peec, vs Evertune, vs AthenaHQ.

What’s not included.

  • Traditional SEO work on the client’s own website — Cited deliberately does not need CMS access.
  • Paid advertising management, social media management, or web development.
  • Inauthentic tactics (bot posting, fake reviews, astroturfing) — these get detected and penalized across all 5 engines and the entire retainer depends on not doing them.

◉ faq

What most people ask first.

Is there a free trial or audit?+
Yes. The free AI Visibility Audit covers 50 target queries across 3 engines and lands within 48 hours — no contract, no card. It is the standard first step for every Cited customer; the gap list it surfaces often makes the retainer decision self-evident.
What does a tier actually include each month?+
Monitor: probing and reporting only — no content production. Growth: probing, reporting, plus 6–10 off-site assets produced, human-reviewed, and distributed monthly. Dominate: probing, reporting, plus 15–20+ assets, the full off-site channel matrix, and weekly strategy work. All tiers include the month-end PDF report.
Is pricing based on queries or engines?+
Mostly queries. All tiers probe all 5 engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude). Tier price reflects query breadth, content volume, and strategy cadence. Niche-engine requests (Copilot, You.com) are Dominate-only.
Do I need annual commitment?+
No — all plans are month-to-month. Annual commitment unlocks the audit free-of-charge and a single-digit discount on Dominate. Most clients start monthly and move to annual around month 4 once citation lift is visible in the dashboard.
What's the ROI?+
AI-referred traffic converts at 14.2% vs 2.8% for organic (Semrush, 2025). Per-platform B2B: ChatGPT 15.9%, Perplexity 10.5%, Claude 5%, Gemini 3%, Google Organic 1.76% (Seer, 2026). For a mid-market SaaS landing 15–40% citation share on 100 tracked queries, a typical Growth retainer returns its cost inside month 2. Case references available on request.
What happens if my citation share drops?+
Expected. 40–60% of cited domains change month-to-month in any AI engine (Conductor / Superlines, 2026). The Cited retainer is built around continuous re-stabilization, not a one-time fix. Drift alerts fire on day one of any weekly drop of >5 percentage points on a tracked query, and the content engine queues a replacement asset automatically.
