# CiteEngine

> CiteEngine is a done-for-you service that gets brands cited and recommended in AI answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) by building real presence on Reddit and in the publications AI models read. Founded by Giovanni Brees. Async, no sales calls.

## What CiteEngine does
- AI Visibility Audit (async, 48-72 hours): where a brand appears in AI answers today, where it doesn't, and what competitors own.
- Implementation Sprint (2-4 weeks): content creation, Reddit placement, schema markup, entity optimization and citation pages.
- Ongoing Retainer (monthly): new content and threads, citation tracking and reporting.

## Plans
- Citation Presence: $2,250/month. Get your brand cited in the right places, by the right accounts, every week - on autopilot.
- Citation Dominance: $2,950/month. Own the conversation in your market - including what AI says about you.
- Citation Empire: $4,500/month. Dominate every channel where your buyers are making decisions - including AI.
- No contracts. Cancel anytime.

## Who it is for
B2B SaaS companies and content-heavy brands whose organic traffic is eroding as buyers ask AI assistants for recommendations instead of searching Google.
