How long until I show up in answers?

We don't have enough customers yet to give a real median — anyone who gives you an exact number today is guessing. Published research on the underlying content tactics shows a real effect, but time-to-citation depends on how often the model re-crawls your category. We'll publish a real number once we can measure one honestly.

ChatGPT

ASKED 4 MINUTES AGO

“who does commercial roofing near San Francisco?”

Two names come up most often: Bay Point Exteriors and Peninsula Roofing Co.

                    
                    YOUR BUSINESS ISN'T MENTIONED
                  

Three names come up consistently: Bay Point Exteriors, Golden Gate Roofing, and Peninsula Roofing Co.

A mocked-up scan, not a real customer result — we're new and don't have enough of those to average yet.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No agency, no retainer, no jargon.

You paste your domain. We do the reading, the ranking and the watching — you get a short list of things worth fixing.

          STEP 01~11 MIN
        

Paste your domain

We read your site the way an assistant does, then ask the questions your customers actually type — across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot.

          STEP 02ONE AFTERNOON
        

Fix the five that matter

Not a 300-issue report. A ranked shortlist, each with the exact sentence or snippet to paste in. Most owners finish it before dinner.

          STEP 03EVERY DAY
        

We keep watching

Models get retrained and competitors publish. If you fall out of an answer, you get one short email: what changed, and what to do about it.

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

Nobody clicks ten blue links to find a roofer any more. They ask once, get three names, and call one of them.

If your name isn't one of the three, the call never happens — and no dashboard you own today would tell you.

WHAT YOU GET

Everything an agency would bill you monthly for.

01 — THE AUDIT

See exactly how each assistant describes you

The problem: you have no idea what ChatGPT says when someone asks for a business like yours. You can't fix what you can't see.

With CitationLoop: we run the questions your customers really ask, across four engines, and show how often you appear, what gets said about you, and who gets named instead.

MOST COMMON DESCRIPTION: “a local roofer” — NOT “COMMERCIAL”

FIX 02 OF 06 HIGH IMPACT · 4 MIN

Your services page never says what you cost

Assistants skip businesses that dodge the price question. A range is enough.

02 — THE FIX LIST

Not a report. A to-do list you can finish today.

The problem: every SEO tool hands you hundreds of “issues” and no clue which one changes anything.

With CitationLoop: a plain-English diagnosis of why you're being skipped — a crawler block, missing structure, or weak content — plus the specific pages and issues to fix first.

03 — THE WATCH

An email the day you stop being mentioned

The problem: your name quietly falls out of the answer when a model updates or a rival publishes. Nobody tells you.

With CitationLoop: we re-ask your questions daily and track who takes your spot. One short email when it moves — plus a monthly brief on what to publish next.

SEO STILL WORKS. IT'S JUST SLOW.

Keep doing SEO. We handle what can't wait.

Rankings still matter, and they still take months to move. CitationLoop isn't a replacement — it's the part of the funnel that's urgent right now: getting named when someone asks an assistant today, not next quarter.

3 OF 12 — full study

We're new — we don't have customer testimonials to show you yet, and we're not going to invent any. Here's real output from our own research scan instead. Business names withheld by design; the pattern is the point.

SAMPLE — LOCAL LAW FIRM

This firm's robots.txt fully disallows GPTbot, ClaudeBot and Google-Extended — almost certainly an accidental side effect of a "block AI scrapers" setting. ChatGPT and Claude can't fetch this page at all, regardless of how good the content is.

SAMPLE — LOCAL DENTAL PRACTICE

One in three sites in our sample has zero structured data — no schema.org markup at all. An assistant has to guess what kind of business this even is from prose alone.

SAMPLE — LOCAL ROOFING CO.

The best sites in our sample already open sections with a direct claim and a real number in the first sentence. Not every business does this yet — and per the latest research, it matters most once you're already being retrieved, not before.

FAQ

Reasonable questions.

Still unsure? Ask us anything — a person replies.

Search used to send people to your website. Assistants answer instead, and only name a few businesses while doing it. AEO is making sure your site gives an assistant what it needs to name you — clear services, real prices, plain answers, and pages it's actually allowed to read.

No. Every fix is written as a sentence you paste in or a file you upload. If a fix needs a developer, we say so up front and give them the snippet — that's rare, usually one or two of the six.

We ask it. We run a few hundred versions of the questions your customers use, from different locations, and record which businesses get named and how yours gets described. Then we repeat it daily so you can see it move.

Honestly, we don't have enough customers yet to give you a real median — anyone who tells you an exact number today is guessing. Published research on the underlying content tactics (see our research page) shows a real effect, but time-to-citation depends on how often the model re-crawls your category. We'll publish a real number once we have enough customers to measure one honestly.

No — the opposite, usually. Clear pricing, straight answers and clean structured data are exactly what Google's own AI summaries look for too. Nothing we recommend is a trick.

You get the full audit and fix list as a PDF once we verify your work email — no card, whether or not you continue. Monitoring, competitor tracking and the monthly content brief are the paid part.

So the report goes to someone who actually owns the site, not a competitor doing recon. We ask for an email on the same domain you're scanning — personal addresses like Gmail or Yahoo won't unlock the PDF. It takes five seconds and we don't require a password.

Find out what ChatGPT says about you.

Enter your site, verify your work email, and we'll email you the full PDF audit. Most owners are surprised — usually not in a good way.
