Clear Cited
Clear Cited is a full-stack AI search optimization (AEO/GEO) service designed for DevOps, developer tools, and B2B SaaS companies. It helps businesses get recommended by AI engines when users ask for tools, focusing on measurable visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, plus Google's AI surfaces (AI Overviews and AI Mode). The service emphasizes reproducible data with confidence intervals, pre-registered prompt sets, and published hashes, moving beyond screenshots to provide transparent, verifiable metrics. The core offering centers on a 'share-of-model' metric that quantifies how often a brand is cited by each AI engine. Clear Cited combines SEO foundation, content strategy, and authority building to improve AI visibility. Clients receive a free teardown to assess current performance, and the company offers audits, ROI calculators, and a visibility index for various niches. The platform is built specifically for companies catering to technical audiences, with a focus on DevOps, developer tools, and B2B SaaS. It positions itself as a specialized alternative to generic SEO tools, providing deep expertise in AI-driven search behavior and offering founding client incentives for early adopters.
