Discover how AI platforms perceive your brand. Citable provides AI-powered brand visibility analysis and generative engine optimization (GEO) to improve your digital citability.
I’m Maria, co-founder + CTO of Citable — and we’re back for Launch #2 with a big upgrade: we moved from “visibility analytics” → to “visibility + action.” ⚡️
Quick recap: Citable helps founders + marketers understand how their brand actually shows up inside AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity (across personas + geographies). Because search is shifting from ranking → reasoning, and most teams are basically flying blind.
What’s new since our first launch 🛠️
We shipped a ton of improvements — especially on the “what do I do next?” part:
✅ AI Action Engine — clear next steps to improve mentions + citations ✅ Content generation by GEO + brand voice — regenerate posts for LinkedIn / X / Instagram ✅ YouTube description generator — optimized for discoverability + credibility ✅ Community discovery — find the best Reddit communities, draft posts, and build karma the non-spammy way ✅ Blog generation + optimization — turn visibility gaps into pages that win ✅ Content scheduling — plan + ship consistently instead of “posting when panicking” 😅
If you’re working on growth, SEO, or brand discovery in an AI-first world, we’d love for you to check it out + roast us with feedback 🙏
Huge thanks to MarketingGuys for the strong social media presence and amplification around this launch — really appreciate the support. Thanks everyone for making this launch come true!

@maria_gorskikh1 Congrats on the launch Maria. Whats the one "shut up and take my money" new feature for you?
@zolani_matebese thank you!! 🙌 For me it’s the AI Action Engine — instead of just showing “your visibility is low,” it tells you exactly what to do next to increase mentions + citations (and generates the content to execute it).

@maria_gorskikh1 congrats on the launch! Good move for the actions. Do you also have YouTube search recommendations?
@tetianai great question! Ahrefs helps you win traditional SEO. Citable complements that by showing how your brand appears in LLM answers(not just rankings), including who cites you vs competitors, and the fastest content + positioning changes to increase citations.
@maria_gorskikh1 Congrats on the launch! 🚀 - Many of our users ask us for consultation + GEO services. However we're not a GEO company - would love to explore a partnership opportunity with you folks.
@asadatnoodle thank you so much!! 🙌 And yes — we’d love to explore a partnership. We actually work with SEO / marketing / PR agencies who want to offer GEO to their clients, and we provide the tech layer for measurement + execution (visibility, citations, SOV trends + action recommendations). I’ll reach out to you + your co-founders via email shortly. Excited to chat!
@busmark_w_nika Hi Nika, absolutely! With Citable's source tracking, you can easily pin point the channels that most suitable for your content distribution. We offer features such as reddit opportunity search to help teams to quickly spot where are the sub communities where people are asking for help and you are the one that can answer their questions -- building trust and be helpful in AI era. If you schedule a free onboarding consultation with us, you'd also be able to have access to our exclusive 100,000 distribution channels that are effective for GEO & SEO
@clyp1108 What about LinkedIn? I know that this one website doesn't want to be scraped, but at the same time, this one is becoming popular when it comes to LLMs results

Congrats on the launch! Super cool to see AI visibility treated as its own growth channel, not just an SEO side quest.
@zeiki_yu Thanks for the support Zeiki! When growth teams have so much on their plate, picking the north star metrics suitable for their growth becomes so important. Generative engine optimization eventually is optimizing the value proposition to the most targeted customers who are looking for an answer in AI. That's actually far more profound and deep connected to the users rather that just key word clustering. That's why we built Citable to empower teams to focus on delivering message directly to their customer through AI.
@alina_petrova3 Hey Alina, thanks for the support and question! Plan is generated based on three parameters: Channel effort (Amount of Channel and Contents) x LLM trends (Which are priority) x Persona Trends (You ICP's channel has higher priority) Overall, you should be able to customize you content plan and quickly test out different channels through campaign tracking.

Hey there!!
Wow this tool was so much needed ahah
How do you automate interactions with multiple AI providers (e.g., separate accounts with "pre-warming" memory, Playwright/Selenium, or direct APIs where possible)? And also, how do you handle citation parsing and "why" explanations? Prompt engineering per model, or post-processing with another LLM?
@cathcorm thank you!! 🙌 We use a combination of direct APIs (when available) and headless browser automation. Citations are parsed then canonicalized/deduped, and the “why” explanations come from a structured analysis layer so results stay comparable across models/providers.
Report
I still don't quite understand how AI tracking impacts websites. Basically, for example, Chatgpt cites sources, but only 1/10 people click on the link, and many AIs even remove the source entirely -> no real revenue if users don't visit your page. Of course, I don't deny it's bad for SEO, but I'm curious if it's really that important.
@agnxi super fair question — clicks can be lower in AI, but the impact is still huge because AI often becomes the decision layer (“what should I use / buy?”). Even without a click, being recommended + cited changes which tools people shortlist, trust, and purchase. We track that shift and turn it into concrete actions so you can actually increase share-of-voice in those answers.
Report
Big congrats on the launch! 🚀 I love that the tool thinks beyond just SEO. In the current landscape, topical authority across platforms is a must for AI visibility. Having actionable suggestions ready to go is a huge value-add for any content team.
@pidsinee_einarsdottir Thank you Pidsinee! It's great to hear positive thoughts from growth experts like you! By tracking the user queries for different personas, topical authority becomes more clear and would give content marketers clear signal and priority on what to focus and why.
Report
I like that this goes beyond analytics. Visibility without clear next steps can be frustrating, so the action layer feels like the right evolution.
@shreya_chaurasia19 I agree Shreya! Analytics and action speeds up the time-to-value for customers, but ultimately its' up to founders and marketers who invent and spread the unique value proposition of product and service. This is the underlying cornerstone for GEO.
Report
At thousands of prompts per day across models plus persona memory, non-determinism and model drift can make share-of-voice and citation deltas noisy.
Best practice is to run a versioned eval harness: fixed prompt suites, replicated runs, temp 0 where supported, response caching, and calibrated LLM-judge scoring to detect meaningful changes.
How are you normalizing citations (canonical URL dedupe) and isolating persona state from model updates when computing SOV trends?
@ryan_thill great point — we treat SOV/citation trends as an eval problem, not a single run. We run versioned prompt suites with replicated runs, cache outputs, and normalize citations via canonical URL + redirect + tracking-param dedupe so the same page doesn’t inflate counts. Personas are snapshot/versioned (frozen state) so we can separate persona effects vs model updates, and when a model drifts we start a new baseline instead of mixing trends.
@daniele_packard thank you!! 🙌 GEO is different from SEO because the goal shifts from ranking on a list of links → to being the recommended answer inside the model (and ideally cited).
SEO signals are mostly: keywords, backlinks, technical health, CTR. GEO signals are more like: clear entity positioning(“what you are / who you’re for”), source credibility (being referenced by trusted sites), consistent facts + terminology across the web, and content that’s easy for models to quote/cite (comparisons, pricing/benchmarks, specs, use cases).
