02 — The score
Ten signals. One number. Zero spin.
Most "AI SEO" tools sell you opacity. We weight ten structural signals AI engines actually read — schema, entity, freshness, factual density, third-party trust — sum them into a 0–100 score, and tell you exactly which one is bleeding.
CHECK 01
Schema markup
Organization JSON-LD with sameAs pointers AI engines parse to resolve your brand as an entity.
CHECK 02
AI crawler access
robots.txt allows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot.
CHECK 03
Author entity
Person schema with sameAs pointers — authors recognised as Knowledge Graph entities lift the whole domain.
CHECK 04
Wikipedia presence
Encyclopedic article — corpus signal AI engines weight heavily on entity trust.
CHECK 05
Wikidata sameAs
Linked-data entity with verified sameAs pointers across the open web.
CHECK 06
Google Knowledge Graph
Recognised as a distinct entity in Google's brand-knowledge layer.
CHECK 07
Content freshness
dateModified within 60 days — Perplexity citations drop 65% past 90.
CHECK 08
Factual density
Stat-bearing patterns per page — Princeton: 19+ data points doubles citation rate.
CHECK 09
Trust-seed profiles
Trustpilot, LinkedIn, GitHub — third-party mentions correlate 0.664 with AI citation.

The 0–100 ladder
0–39
Invisible
AI engines cannot reliably surface your brand. Foundational structural work needed before targeted GEO investment makes sense.
40–59
Citation gaps
AI engines find you sometimes. Critical signals are missing or noisy. Targeted fixes can lift you into reliable citation range fast.
60–74
Patchy presence
You appear in some answers but lose to competitors on key prompts. The structural foundation is there — sharpen it.
75–89
Solid baseline
You are reliably citable across the major AI engines. Remaining work is fine-tuning entity disambiguation and content depth.
90–100
Citation-ready
Strong AI readiness across all ten structural signals. You are in the top tier of citation candidates for your category.
Score updates each time a domain is rechecked. We treat the band as the strategic signal — the number is just where you sit inside it.
03 — Where citations are decided
A high score makes you readable. The rest of the internet makes you cited.
Those ten signals are table stakes — they make AI engines able to read you. But most citations aren't decided on your domain. They're decided on the sources the model already trusts to answer for you.
On your site
Table stakes- Schema & structured data
- Clean, crawlable architecture
- Author & entity signals (sameAs)
- Helpful, extractable on-page content
Necessary. Makes you readable. Not where it's won.
The rest of the internet
Where it's decided- G2, Capterra & review sites
- Reddit, forums & communities
- Comparison pages & listicles
- Press, podcasts & earned mentions
Most citations live here — not on your site.
On-site makes you readable. Off-site makes you cited. Most agencies stop at the first.

Trust signals
The third-party citations, mentions and authority signals that make a model confident to name you.

Extractability
Content structured so a model can lift a clean, quotable, accurate answer about your brand.
On-page structure06 — Methodology
Measure → Repair → Compound
01
Measure
We run 50 brand-relevant prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews. You get a baseline Share-of-Answer per engine, per prompt cluster.
02
Repair
Schema, entity graph, sameAs sources, AI crawler access, content extractability rewrites. We close the structural gaps that prevent AI engines from citing you confidently.
03
Compound
Monthly re-checks track lift over time. Every shipped fix is attributable to a specific score delta — no vanity metrics, no SEO theater.
07 — Programs
Four ways we engineer visibility
Pick one or stack them. Productized fixed-scope projects and retainers, depending on the work.
01
GEO Optimization
Generative Engine Optimization. We model what makes AI engines cite a brand as the primary authority — then engineer that into your site.
- Citation modeling per engine
- Entity graph repair
- Content reframing for AI
02
Technical SEO
Search excellence reframed for the semantic web. Schema, Core Web Vitals, crawl budget, and AI-Overview-ready structured data.
- JSON-LD audit + deploy
- Crawl + index health
- AI Overview eligibility
03
Web Development
Astro/Next.js builds tuned for AI ingestion. Performance budget, accessibility, structured data baked in from day one.
- Astro 5 + Vercel ship
- Schema-first architecture
- Lighthouse 95+ target
04
AI-Ready Infrastructure
Your stack, AI-ready. Kubernetes, observability, security, CI/CD, and cost optimization. Cloud agnostic across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and Hetzner.
- Cloud cost + observability
- Vault + access hardening
- GEO-safe deploy pipelines
How Citable is different
GEO strategy and infrastructure. One team. No subcontracting.
Most GEO failures are infrastructure failures. Schema overwritten by a deploy. robots.txt blocking GPTBot. Servers too slow for crawlers. We own the whole stack so the GEO surface stays intact.

What teams ask before they engage
What services does Citable Agency offer?
Citable Agency (citable.agency) is a boutique services agency offering three things: (1) Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — measurement-first work to get your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews; (2) Technical SEO — schema deployment, Core Web Vitals, indexability, hreflang, internal linking; (3) Web Development — production Astro and Next.js sites, PWAs, and native iOS + Android apps engineered for AI search from day one. Engagements start with a €1,200 AI Visibility Audit (50 prompts × 4 engines, 7–10 working days). Implementation retainers run €4–12k/month.
Is Citable Agency the same as getcitable.com or the other 'Citable' companies?
No. Citable Agency (citable.agency) is a boutique services agency founded in Spain in 2026 that delivers GEO, Technical SEO, and Web Development engagements directly to brands and agency partners. It is not affiliated with getcitable.com (a US-based AI brand-visibility SaaS) or any other company that uses the word 'citable' in its name. Different companies, different products, different founders.
Where is Citable Agency based and which markets do you serve?
Citable Agency is based in Spain and serves clients across the EU (Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands), the United Kingdom, and the United States. The team is bilingual native Spanish + English. Every audit, deliverable, and report is produced natively by a speaker of the client's market — never machine-translated.
How does AI citation actually work?
Generative engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude assemble answers from a mix of training data and real-time retrieval. They cite brands when three conditions are met: (1) the brand is recognized as an entity in Knowledge Graph / Wikidata, (2) the brand site exposes structured signals (Schema.org, author entity, clean robots), and (3) the answer pattern they're synthesizing matches your authority area. We engineer all three.
Is this different from regular SEO?
Yes — different surface, overlapping primitives. SEO ranks links in a list. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes for being cited inside a synthesized AI answer. The technical foundations (schema, crawl, content quality) overlap. The measurement diverges entirely: instead of SERP position, we track Share-of-Answer per prompt across multiple AI engines.
What results can I expect in 30 days?
Schema and entity-graph fixes typically produce measurable Share-of-Answer movement within 30–60 days. Content rewrites compound over 60–90 days. Every engagement starts with a documented baseline so improvement is trackable, not estimated.
How much does it cost?
The standalone AI Visibility Audit is €1,200 (50 prompts × 4 engines, 7–10 working days). Implementation engagements typically run €4–12k/month depending on scope. Full transparency at /pricing. Productized projects and retainers, depending on the work.
What markets do you work in?
Europe, the UK and the US. Every audit and report is produced natively by a native speaker of the client's market — never machine-translated.
Do you provide API access for agencies?
Yes. Agency partners can white-label Citable's audit and implementation work via the partnership program. Use the contact form to request partnership terms.
What's the free AI Readiness Checker for?
Heuristic check of 10 structural signals AI engines use to decide whether to cite your brand: schema markup, AI crawler access, author entity, Wikipedia presence, Wikidata sameAs, Google Knowledge Graph, content freshness, factual density, trust-seed profiles, and llms.txt (tracked as a hedge — Google confirmed in May 2026 it is not a current ranking signal). Instant, free, no email gate. Try it from the search bar above. The full Audit (50 prompts × 4 engines, €1,200) goes deeper.
