Citably audits and engineers B2B SaaS websites to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. Atlanta-based. Southeast US-native. Founder-delivered. The audit is the deliverable, no dashboards.
The engagement
Five steps. No mystery. You know the access we need, the timeline you get, and what happens when the work ships.
Send your URL. Score plus three fixes back in 24 hours. No card. No call.
We read the score together and pick the tier that fits. Booked through Calendly.
Book the callWe take read-only access and crawl the site the way an engine does. Nothing written. Repo or CMS access only when a Sprint ships code.
Snapshot: Loom plus report in 24 hours. Audit: 25-page report plus a 60-minute call in 7 days. Sprint: fixes shipped in 14 days.
You get a 15-point plan. Run it yourself, or hand it to a Retainer and we run it for you.
The opportunity
The shift is already happening. The window where competing is cheap closes when everyone notices.
still ship without an llms.txt.
Perplexity and ChatGPT look for it first. Half the top Southeast US B2B SaaS sites we benchmarked are absent from that lookup.
ship two schema types or fewer on the homepage.
The minimum entity graph for B2B SaaS is six types: Organization, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Person, SoftwareApplication. Most stop at one. Some at zero.
explicitly welcome AI crawlers. None are blocking them either.
Default-allow is fine for the engines. It isn’t fine for the buyer’s compliance team. The gap is signaling, not access.

In plain English
No jargon. Three things happen between a buyer’s question and the answer they get back.
“Best [your category] for a Series A team,” or “who does this in Atlanta.” The searches that used to go into Google now go straight into an AI chat window.
It doesn’t read the whole internet live. It reaches for the sites it can read cleanly and quote with confidence — usually three to five, not thirty.
Readable by the crawlers, carrying the labels AI relies on, and written so a real sentence can be lifted straight into the answer.
The methodology
Every audit follows the same 5 passes. Reproducible, scoreable, repeatable.
We test all 14 known AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended) against your robots.txt and live HTTP responses. Most sites silently block at least three.
“Most sites silently block at least three engines.”
JSON-LD validation across Organization, Service, FAQPage, Article, BreadcrumbList, Person, and the @id graph that links them. We score against the schema profiles Google Rich Results and Bing Copilot actually consume.
“Schema is the entity graph. Without it, you’re a string.”
Passage-level extractability. Every paragraph and list item is scored on length, density, and self-containment. Thin passages get rewritten; citable ones get reinforced. The score is reproducible.
“A citation is a passage strong enough to leave the page.”
We crawl Reddit, Quora, G2, Capterra, Wikipedia, and industry directories for existing brand mentions, then map where the answer engines pull from for queries you should win. Gaps become a placement plan.
“Answer engines cite their sources. We make sure you’re one of them.”
10 reference queries per engine across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. We log the answer, the sources cited, and the gap between your brand and the consensus. This becomes the baseline we beat.
“Score, baseline, beat. Then repeat.”

Six-month minimum

The ones every prospect asks in the first few minutes of a call. Already answered here, so we can use the call for your specific work.
GEO: Generative Engine Optimization. Making your site citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. Same idea as SEO. Different ranking systems.
SEO ranks you in the ten blue links. GEO gets you cited inside the answer itself. Some techniques overlap: schema, content quality. Many do not. llms.txt, AI crawler configuration, and passage-level citability are GEO-specific.
No. Answer engines change weekly. What we guarantee: your site will be technically discoverable, your content will be structured for citation, and your citation count will be tracked monthly.
Most clients see citation growth in two to six weeks after a Sprint. Less competitive categories can see results in days.
Snapshot is a quick ten-page diagnostic. Audit is the full twenty-five-page deep dive. Sprint, fourteen days, is implementation. Retainer, six-month minimum, is ongoing work. Each one is scoped on the call. Start with Snapshot if you are unsure.
Read-only to start. We crawl your live site the same way an AI engine does. Nothing written, nothing changed. For a Sprint we take repo or CMS access so we can ship the fixes, and you approve every change before it goes live.
Depends on the tier. A Snapshot lands a Loom and a report in 24 hours. An Audit lands a 25-page report and a recorded 60-minute call in 7 days. A Sprint has fixes shipping by day 14.
AI engines re-crawl on their own schedule. Changes surface as citations over weeks, not days. Six months is the floor where the work compounds into a trackable delta instead of noise. No promise on any single query, but the direction is measurable.
Yes. Citably white-labels Sprints and Retainers for SEO and marketing agencies on a 30% partner margin in perpetuity per client. Full terms and the application form at citably.co/partners.
Usually not. Most SEO agencies have not built llms.txt or AI schema yet. We collaborate rather than replace. They keep the keyword work. We add the citation layer.
Citably is based in Atlanta, Georgia. We work Eastern Time. Primary clients are in the Southeast: Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, plus the rest of the region. Clients elsewhere in the US welcome. International on a case-by-case basis with the caveat that working hours are ET.
Citably is SOC 2-aware and HIPAA-aware. For Southeast healthtech clients (telehealth, clinical research, healthcare SaaS) we execute a BAA and follow minimum-necessary data principles. DPA available on request. No client content is fed into model training.
