Cited

Cited Overview

What is Cited?

Cited is an AI search visibility platform for B2B and B2B2C software businesses. It tracks how often AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude recommend your brand versus competitors when buyers ask for the best tool in your category. Cited runs the questions your buyers actually ask on a continuous schedule, measures your share of AI recommendations over time, and pinpoints the exact prompts where competitors get cited instead of you. For every visibility gap it finds, the platform explains why you are losing that prompt and delivers specific, ready-to-act content recommendations to close it — from answering unaddressed buyer questions to fixing how your positioning reads to AI models and making your site readable to AI crawlers. Continuous monitoring shows whether the fixes are working as AI recommendations shift. Cited is built for product marketers, content marketers, demand gen and growth teams, and marketing agencies whose buyers have started asking AI assistants what to buy instead of searching Google. Cited doesn't stop at tracking — every visibility gap comes with the reason you're losing that prompt and ready-to-publish, editable content to fix it. Built exclusively for B2B and B2B2C software businesses, it measures the buyer intent prompts that likely end in a purchase decision, not generic brand mentions. Help other people by letting them know if this AI was useful. Add your own prompts and outputs to help others understand how to use this AI.

A Professional Framework to Evaluate Cited

When considering Cited for integration into your organizational workflow, we recommend deploying a structured score card across three critical operational pillars: Security & Compliance, Integration Friction, and long-term Price Scalability. Rather than looking only at basic feature lists, modern procurement teams must assess how a software platform behaves under high load and how well it fits into the team's data security guidelines.

1. Security and Database Compliance

Depending on your operating region and field, ensure that Cited supports standard security layers such as SOC 2 Type II certifications, GDPR compliance, or HIPAA-compliant database encryption. If the tool connects directly to client database tables or handles user passwords, verify that they implement multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO) integrations, and end-to-end data encryption in transit and at rest.

2. API Coverage and Custom Integrations

Siloed data is the primary cause of operational friction. Evaluate if Cited has native connectors for your current project trackers, messaging hubs, and customer communication channels. For custom developer requirements, check if they provide a fully documented REST API with reasonable rate limits, comprehensive Webhooks support, and robust SDK packages in your language. A flexible API layer saves hundreds of hours of manual copy-paste overhead.

3. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

SaaS pricing packages are often deceptively simple. When reviewing Cited's billing structure, map out your team's projected expansion over the next 12 to 24 months. Determine how costs scale as your customer database increases or as you add team members. Factor in setup costs, mandatory support plan upgrades, API access fees, and storage overage rates to understand the true cost before committing to a contract.

By combining verified user reviews from our directory with internal workflow pilot tests, your procurement team can make an informed decision that drives productivity without creating capital waste.
