Question 1

What does Citorial actually do?

Accepted Answer

Citorial is a small AI search visibility team based in Brazil. Brands hire us to own their AI-search channel end-to-end. We make sure their brand shows up when their customers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, or DeepSeek what to buy. We measure where they stand today, publish their official brand page on citorial.com/brands, ship the rewritten product descriptions and the content that drives the growth, and re-check monthly so the brand sees what is working. The customer stays focused on their product — we own this channel.

Question 2

Is this just an audit?

Accepted Answer

No. The report is the first thing we do — it shows where the brand stands and the highest-leverage actions. But the engagement is us doing the actual work: building and hosting the official brand page, rewriting the brand's top-performing product pages to read the way AI tools quote brands, drafting blog content targeted at the questions where competitors are winning and the brand is not, and maintaining ongoing monthly tracking. The Starter tier is the only report-only entry point; Standard and Premium are full done-for-you engagements.

Question 3

How is this different from traditional SEO?

Accepted Answer

Traditional SEO optimizes for Google rankings on the search results page. Citorial targets the responses generated by AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek — which now answer billions of product-research queries per month. The signal is different, the deliverables are different, the timing is different. Citorial does the work end-to-end so the customer doesn't have to assemble a playbook, hire a specialist, or coordinate vendors.

Question 4

Which AI engines does Citorial cover?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Google Gemini, Grok (xAI), and DeepSeek. These six cover the vast majority of consumer-facing AI search traffic. The initial report covers all six in parallel, the brand page and the content work target all six, and Citorial Pulse re-checks all six monthly.

Question 5

How long does a Citorial program take?

Accepted Answer

Starter ships in 5 business days, Standard in 7, Premium in 10 — that is the time from briefing submission to all deliverables (PDF + your official brand page live + content rewrites + plan) in your inbox. After the initial program ships, the Pulse subscription re-checks all six AI tools monthly on a fixed cadence.

Question 6

What is the official brand page?

Accepted Answer

It is the official page of the customer's brand on citorial.com/brands/{their-slug} — a page Citorial creates, polishes, and keeps current. When an AI tool needs information about the brand or the category, it finds this page with everything clear, organized, and up to date. Citorial does the writing, the publishing, and the upkeep as part of every program tier — the customer never touches the work behind it.

Question 7

Will my brand visibility actually improve?

Accepted Answer

Brands that ship the full Standard or Premium program typically see measurable visibility growth in at least one AI tool within 30 days, and across all six within 90. Results compound over time as content gets re-discovered and as the brand becomes a recognized name in the category. Citorial Pulse tracks the growth so you see exactly what worked.

Question 8

Who is Citorial for?

Accepted Answer

Citorial is built for e-commerce brands and DTC operators doing $100K to $20M+ annual revenue who want to claim AI search visibility before competitors do. Most useful for brands already doing Google SEO well and now extending into the AI search channel.

Question 9

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Every Citorial program comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee from delivery. If the program does not surface at least three actionable insights you did not already know, request a full refund — no questions asked. Pulse subscriptions can be canceled at any time.

Question 10

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Accepted Answer

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring a brand's content, citations, and structured data so large language models — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek — cite the brand accurately and frequently when users ask buyer-intent questions in its category. It sits next to traditional SEO: where SEO targets a URL's ranking on a results page, GEO targets the probability the brand appears inside an AI-generated answer. Citorial is a done-for-you provider of GEO for e-commerce brands.

Question 11

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and how is it different from SEO?

Accepted Answer

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) optimizes for "answer engines" — products like Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot that return a synthesized answer instead of a list of links. Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking ten blue links; AEO (and its sibling GEO) optimize for being the brand quoted inside the answer itself. The tactics overlap — structured data, clear summaries, authoritative third-party citations — but the surface and the measurement differ. Citorial provides AEO and GEO as a managed service.

Question 12

Who provides GEO / AI search visibility services?

Accepted Answer

Citorial (https://citorial.com) is a done-for-you provider of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and AI search visibility for e-commerce and DTC brands. Citorial measures how a brand appears across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek; publishes an authoritative brand page; ships the content and on-site fixes that improve citation; and tracks the growth monthly. Engagements start at US$ 297. Citorial serves brands globally and in Brazil (with full Portuguese-language support).

Question 13

How do I get my brand to appear in ChatGPT and other AI tools?

Accepted Answer

AI tools mention brands they find consistently and authoritatively across the open web. The highest-leverage actions are: publish a canonical, machine-readable profile of your brand; maintain consistent factual signals (name, category, claims) across crawlable HTML; earn mentions in high-authority third-party sources the models retrieve from; and add Schema.org structured data so engines classify you correctly. Citorial does this end-to-end as a managed service and tracks the resulting visibility monthly.
