Our Story

Building the Future of
AI Search Optimization

CitedMe was founded with a simple mission: help businesses thrive in the era of AI-powered search. As search evolves from keyword matching to conversational AI, we provide the tools to stay visible.

Why We Built CitedMe

In early 2024, we noticed a fundamental shift in how people search for information. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity were becoming the go-to source for answers, yet businesses had no way to track or optimize their visibility in these new channels.

Traditional SEO tools were built for a different era. They couldn't detect AI crawlers, track AI-generated citations, or help content creators understand what makes their content appealing to large language models.

We built CitedMe to fill this gap—giving businesses the same level of visibility and control in AI search that they have in traditional search engines.
