7 supported answer surfacesvertical  SaaS
Search journeys now include answers and results. Enterprise visibility work needs evidence from both.
The buyer shift

Search still ranks.
Answers now summarize.

SEO remains foundational. GEO adds direct measurement of supported, configured answer surfaces and the public evidence they use.

Discovery

Answers coexist with ranked results

Buyers can encounter synthesized answers, cited source links, classic results, and brand pages in the same research journey.
Measurement

Visibility needs answer evidence

Search rankings do not show whether a configured answer surface named a brand, cited a page, or returned reliable evidence for the prompt and market in scope.
Foundation

SEO still matters

Crawlability, useful pages, clear entities, source quality, and sound site architecture remain foundational. GEO adds observation and action for the answer layer.
What we do

Four disciplines.
One outcome.

We improve answer clarity, measure configured surfaces weekly by default, review technical readiness, and prioritize credible source evidence. Each finding keeps its scope and limitations.

  • Seven supported answer surfaces when configured, ready, and enabled
  • Weekly monitoring cadence by default on current paid plans
  • Available answers, mention context, prompts, markets, and citation URLs
  • Live dashboard plus branded PDF and Markdown exports
  • REST API, MCP, and signed audit-run webhooks for eligible paid projects: Pro, Agency, and Enterprise

FAQ · CiteSurge

The questions
buyers ask first.

What does CiteSurge measure?

Within configured prompts, markets, and answer surfaces, CiteSurge records whether available replies name your brand, which citation URLs they return, and how they describe you where supported and available. Current paid plans use a weekly cadence by default.

Which engines do you track, and how often?

CiteSurge supports measurement across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and Grok when each surface is configured, ready, and enabled for the project. Current paid plans use a weekly cadence by default; available evidence can vary by run.

How is the score worked out?

The score summarizes evidence from the recorded project scope. Review it alongside available answers, mention context, citation URLs, prompts, engines, markets, timing, and unavailable states. It is a prioritization aid, not a guarantee. See the public methodology.

Is this a one-off audit or ongoing tracking?

Both. You get a branded report with prioritized implementation guidance and a live dashboard for ongoing review. Current paid plans use a weekly monitoring cadence by default, subject to project scope, configuration, and answer-surface availability.

Can I see what the AI said about me, word for word?

For configured answer surfaces, the Mentions view keeps available answer passages and mention context, plus citation counts where supported and available. When reliable evidence does not surface, the view shows a neutral unavailable state.

Do you track competitors?

For configured prompts, markets, and enabled answer surfaces, we record rival brands named or cited where supported and available. Results remain tied to the run's scope and availability; they do not establish a durable rank.

What does it cost?

Pro is €499/mo, or €399/mo billed annually: 7 engines tracked weekly (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AIO, Bing Copilot, and Grok), 1 brand · 3 markets, 60 monitored prompts, 12-month history, plus MCP and API access. Agency and Enterprise plans handle larger rollouts. See pricing.

Can my own tools pull the data?

Every paid plan (Pro, Agency, and Enterprise) includes an MCP server and a REST API. Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor and read your scores, citations, and fix list, or trigger a re-run, without leaving the tool. Setup lives on the help page.

Manifesto · CiteSurge

Search is becoming
a conversation.
Make sure you're in it.

The web grew up around ten blue links. An entire economy (SEO, content mills, affiliate networks) depends on the assumption that people will scroll. They won't. Not for much longer.

The models are the new surface. They decide which names enter the answer, and which ones don't exist. That decision is the next decade of search, compressed into a sentence.

We built CiteSurge because that sentence deserves a serious discipline behind it. Not tips. Not hacks. An agency that engineers your presence in AI answers and proves it, audit after audit.
