When a potential customer asks ChatGPT a question — "who's the best estate lawyer in London", "what software should I use for my dental practice" — the AI doesn't return ten links: it names two or three brands. If yours isn't one of them, you don't exist for that customer, even if you rank #1 on Google.
CiteProof exists to put your name in those answers.
What it does, in practice
CiteProof works on three fronts:
- Measures how often your brand is cited by the main AI answer engines, with a score you can track over time.
- Explains what on your site is holding you back, in plain language and with concrete actions.
- Fixes the technical issues (structured data, content, FAQs) and — with the Content Agent — writes new articles optimized to get cited.
The two agents
CiteProof is organized around two main tools:
- AI Visibility Agent — audits your site across the answer engines, gives you a score and a prioritized list of fixes. When you apply a fix, the Verify Bot checks it's actually live before the score goes up: no inflated numbers.
- Content Agent — generates blog-ready articles, optimized for SEO/AEO, with images included and one-click publishing to WordPress.
You also get a set of free tools (AI Overview check, schema, hreflang, broken links and more) you can use without an account.
Why "AEO", not just "SEO"
Classic SEO optimizes for your position in Google's links. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes for being cited in the answers AI generates. They're two different games: you can rank #1 on Google and be invisible on ChatGPT. CiteProof measures and improves the second without costing you the first.
Does CiteProof replace traditional SEO?
No. It complements it. CiteProof focuses on visibility inside AI answer engines, a channel classic SEO doesn't measure, though many AEO improvements help SEO too.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. CiteProof explains every issue in plain language and suggests concrete actions; many fixes apply with a single click.
