What you know vs. what’s changed

You’ve invested in SEO. This is the next layer.

GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — determines whether AI engines mention your business. It follows different rules than traditional search.

The biggest shift: GEO is closer to reputation-building than technical SEO. What others say about you matters more than what you say about yourself. A BeCited audit shows you exactly what AI engines hear about your business — and where the gaps are.
What you get

Everything you need to take action.

The audit doesn’t just measure. It tells you exactly what to do.

Deliverable 01

GEO Score (0–100)

A single number showing where you stand. Combines five dimensions: engine visibility, recommendation strength, source presence, engine consistency, and competitive position. Benchmarked against your actual competitors so you know exactly where you rank in your market.

Deliverable 02

Source Influence Map

The specific articles and review sites AI engines cite when answering questions in your category. Where you appear, where you don’t, and which sources to prioritize. This is the most actionable part of the audit — it tells you exactly which platforms to invest in.

Deliverable 03

Prompt Gap Analysis

Every high-intent buying question where your business is missing from the AI answer. Ranked by commercial value and competitive opportunity. Each gap is a specific, addressable problem with a clear path to fix it.

Deliverable 04

Prioritized Action Plan

15–20 concrete steps: which platforms to claim, what content to create, where to invest in review and community presence. Tailored per engine, because what works on Gemini doesn’t always work on ChatGPT.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Any business that customers might research before buying. We work with home service companies, professional service firms, product companies, retailers, and more. If someone could ask AI “what’s the best [your category]?” — this audit is for you.
Generative Engine Optimization. It’s the practice of influencing which businesses AI engines mention and recommend. When someone asks ChatGPT “what’s the best [your category]?”, GEO determines whether you’re in the answer. Most businesses aren’t doing it yet, which means early movers have a real advantage.
SEO optimizes your own pages to rank in Google’s results. GEO is about what third-party sources say about you, because that’s what AI engines read and synthesize into answers. A business can rank #1 on Google and be completely absent from ChatGPT’s recommendations. They’re complementary — you should be doing both.
ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. These are the four engines with the most influence on buying decisions. Each follows different recommendation patterns — for example, Perplexity leans on review aggregators while Gemini draws from Google’s search index. The audit covers all four and gives engine-specific recommendations.
About one week from kickoff to report delivery. The intake conversation takes 30 minutes, and the walkthrough call takes 45 minutes. Total time commitment from you: about 75 minutes. We handle everything else.

The Action Plan tells you exactly what to do, prioritized by impact and effort.

We walk through all of it on the call and help you decide where to start.
