What is RankCited
RankCited is a managed AI SEO service that helps brands get cited by AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. Unlike audit-only tools that only diagnose visibility gaps, RankCited does the work: it finds contextually relevant placements on trusted publications, pitches and earns those placements, and tracks how AI answers change month over month.
How to use RankCited
- Get your free report: Sign up with your domain to receive a prompt-by-prompt visibility report, your RankCited Score, and the sources AI engines cite. No credit card required.
- Pick a plan: Choose a monthly plan that fits your needs. Each tier represents a fixed amount of placement work per month. RankCited's AI agents build a placement plan (niche industry pubs, vertical categories at top-tier outlets, or commissioned features) and a human strategist approves it.
- We pitch, place, and prove it: RankCited handles outreach, editorial back-and-forth, and publication of links, branded mentions, and answer-ready content. Then they re-measure across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI, providing live placements, a climbing score, and a monthly summary.

FAQ
What does RankCited actually do?
RankCited gets brands cited by AI engines. Its agents find publications and pages that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI already trust for your category, then pitch, negotiate, and earn your placements on them, tracking how answers change month over month.
How is RankCited different from AI visibility tools?
Tools chart the problem; RankCited does the work. Dashboards tell you ChatGPT never mentions you but leave the placement work to your team. RankCited runs measurement and the fix together: the same report that shows a gap comes with the plan and placements to close it.
Where do the placements come from?
A private network of publishers vetted by hand for real audiences, editorial standards, and clean linking history. Most applicants are rejected. There is no catalog to browse; agents pick the publication whose context matches each goal, a strategist approves the plan, and you see the shape of every target (niche, authority, AI-citation profile) plus the live URL once published.
How fast do we see results?
First placements usually go live within 2-3 weeks. AI engines refresh their sources on their own schedule, so answer changes usually show in 4-8 weeks and compound from there. Rankings from the same coverage tend to follow a similar curve.
What does it cost to get started?
Nothing at first—the AI visibility report is free and shows exactly where you stand. When you want the gaps closed, pick a monthly plan; each tier is a fixed amount of placement work per month, priced openly, cancel anytime. No per-link invoices, no surprise spend.
