# Cited

> Cited is a GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) service that helps businesses get discovered and cited by AI search engines — including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Bing Copilot.

Traditional SEO no longer guarantees visibility. AI search engines pull answers from a different set of signals: structured content, authoritative sourcing, schema markup, and platform-specific optimisation. Cited audits websites across all of these dimensions and delivers clear, prioritised recommendations — free to start, with managed monthly programmes available.

Results delivered by email within 5 minutes. No account or credit card required.
- [Pricing & Plans](https://cited.best/pricing): Three service tiers — Technical Fixes (one-off, from £495), AI Optimised (managed monthly, from £995/month), and Enterprise (custom). All plans include schema implementation, AI crawler optimisation, and expert review.
