AI search visibility for agencies
AI search visibility is whether answer engines name or recommend a brand when a buyer asks a real question. CiteBrief measures it across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Google AI Overviews, shows who won and why, fixes the site and the sources AI cites, and re-checks. Agencies add white-label reports for clients.

What AI search visibility is
It is presence in answers, not position in a list. The buyer asked a question. The assistant named someone. Your client was or was not in that set. That is the whole measurement.
Agencies need a way to prove they checked it this period without teaching GEO in the board deck. The artifact is an AI search visibility report.
What CiteBrief measures
Branded questions live in the appendix. Clients do not get seats. The PDF and a 90-day private link are the deliverable.
- Unbranded buyer questions (comparison, job, switch)
- Named and recommended counts, per engine
- Who won when the client was missing
- Five next actions with an owner type
Four surfaces, one letter

| Gemini | Gemini visibility tracking | Where they paste it next |
| Grok | Grok visibility tracking | Third consumer app; engines disagree |
| AI Overviews | Google AI Overviews tracking | Google is still in the room |

FAQ
Is AI search visibility the same as SEO?
No. SEO is rankings and clicks. AI search visibility is whether assistants name the brand. Report both. Do not merge scores.
Is this a GEO platform?
GEO is what buyers type. CiteBrief measures whether answers name you, finds why not and fixes it: a site audit, edge fixes, page drafts and outreach. It is not a daily crawler.
What should we send the client?
The letter on /report. Named, who won, five actions. No dashboard tour.
