Citadex is the first AI Engine Optimization SaaS. Learn how it helps brands monitor and improve their visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

What Is Citadex?

Citadex is an AI Engine Optimization (AEO) SaaS that helps brands, marketers, and SEO professionals monitor and improve how they appear in AI-generated answers. Where traditional SEO focused on ranking in Google's blue links, AEO focuses on being cited, recommended, and quoted by AI engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, and more.

As of 2025, over 40% of online searches begin on AI platforms rather than traditional search engines. If your brand is not visible in those AI-generated answers, you are invisible to a growing segment of your audience.

What Problems Does Citadex Solve?

You don't know if AI mentions your brand. When a user asks ChatGPT "what are the best project management tools?", does your brand appear? Without Citadex, you have no way to know.

You can't measure AI visibility over time. Even if you manually test a few prompts today, you can't track week-over-week trends, compare platforms, or know if you're gaining or losing ground to competitors.

Your website isn't structured for AI engines. AI models read websites differently than humans. They look for clear entities, structured data (JSON-LD schema), FAQ-style content, and authoritative citations. Most websites were built for Google, not for AI.

Competitors may be displacing you in AI answers. A competitor can appear instead of you in AI responses for branded queries — effectively stealing your audience — and you'd never know without systematic monitoring.

How Citadex Works

Citadex operates in three core loops:

1. Monitor — Continuously track how AI platforms mention, rank, and describe your brand across hundreds of query types and topics.

2. Diagnose — Analyze your website's AI-readiness. Run scans that detect missing schema markup, weak entity signals, content gaps, and structural issues that prevent AI from citing you.

3. Optimize — Act on findings with prioritized recommendations, an AI-powered content editor, and competitive gap analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is AEO the same as SEO?

AEO and SEO share some principles — both care about authoritative, well-structured content — but they diverge significantly. SEO optimizes for search engine crawlers and human click-through. AEO optimizes for large language models that synthesize answers. Technical differences include the importance of entity clarity, JSON-LD schema, FAQ-style quotable content, and multi-platform citation authority.

Q: Does improving AEO hurt my SEO?

No. The techniques that improve AEO — structured data, clear entities, authoritative content, FAQ sections — are also best practices for SEO. Improving AEO generally strengthens your overall organic presence.

Q: Which AI platforms do you track?

We currently track ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, and Meta AI — and counting. Coverage is expanding regularly.
