    Updated Aug 2026

    Citero is an AI visibility platform built for the era of AI-driven discovery. Instead of fighting for page-one Google rankings, companies now need to understand how they are represented inside the answers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity give to real customer questions. Citero simulates those questions continuously, tracks whether your brand is recommended or cited, reveals why competitors are being mentioned instead, and turns the raw signal into a clear action plan. Unlike traditional SEO dashboards that focus on keywords and backlinks, Citero monitors the new discovery layer — AI conversations — and gives startups and SMBs the same intelligence large enterprises are already building internally. The platform is actively expanding its coverage of AI models and question types as the space evolves.
