The process

How Clear Cited works

A clear, reproducible process — not a black box. We measure where AI puts you, then run the full-stack engine for you: SEO foundation, content, and authority. Here's exactly what we do, what you get, and where your time is needed (almost nowhere).

The four steps

1. Money prompts

We build the exact questions your buyers ask AI ("best observability tool for Kubernetes," "Datadog alternatives") from your category language and sales context. Garbage prompts = useless data, so this is where judgment matters most.

2. Measure every engine

Each prompt runs 10+ times across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. We report the median with a 95% confidence interval — because a single AI answer is noise.

3. Diagnose

Three layers: technical (can AI bots reach + parse you), entity (does AI know who you are), and off-page (where competitors get cited and you don't — ~95% of citations are third-party).

4. Fix, build & monitor

A prioritized 30/60/90 roadmap we execute done-for-you: SEO foundation, answer-first content, and off-site authority — AI-accelerated then human-approved before anything ships — then weekly tracking so your share of model climbs and stays as the engines shift (roughly 40–60% of AI-cited sources change month over month (Profound)).

What you get

A branded report with your AI-visibility score, share-of-model vs. named competitors (with confidence intervals), your SEO foundation (technical, on-page, SERP, backlink/domain), the exact prompts where you're invisible, the third-party sources the AI pulled from, and a prioritized 30/60/90 roadmap. For retainers: a monthly report tracking movement, plus the work done for you — content production, on-page, and off-site authority. See the full-stack service →
