Rivac LabsAI Citation Strategist
AI answer engines are quietly becoming a primary discovery channel — when a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity to recommend a solution, most brands have no idea whether they're mentioned at all, let alone why. This service builds the overarching AEO/GEO strategy: benchmarking current citation rates across the major engines, diagnosing why competitors get recommended and you don't, and setting the prioritized roadmap that every other AEO workstream executes against. It's for leadership teams who know AI search matters but don't yet have a coherent plan, or who've bought a handful of one-off AEO tactics without a strategy tying them together. The end state is a clear, evidenced answer to why you do or don't get cited, and a sequenced plan to close the gap.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Sample real buyer-intent prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity to establish a baseline citation rate and diagnose the gaps.
- 2
Pilot one high-priority fix — a content gap, an entity gap, a structural gap — against a defined set of tracked prompts.
- 3
Review the shift in citation rate and share of voice with you before committing to the full roadmap.
- 4
Build and sequence the full AEO strategy across content, technical, and authority workstreams, then operate a recurring measurement cycle to keep it current.
