How does the audit actually work?
You enter your company name and website URL. We build a detailed profile of your business, construct synthetic buyer personas based on your actual market, then run those personas across 5 AI platforms — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok — without any brand signaling. We capture every recommendation, analyze why competitors win, and deliver a root cause diagnosis and 90-day action plan.
Does Citro use its own product?
Yes. We run Citro on our own company across every platform, follow the same 90-day plan we give customers, and track our score as it moves. We will publish the before and after as a case study. We are not going to ask you to trust a method we do not run on ourselves.
What makes this different from just searching my brand in ChatGPT?
When you search your own brand, you're not simulating how a buyer actually researches your category. Citro constructs personas with specific job functions, buying stages, and behavioral patterns, then runs category-level queries — the same way a real buyer would. You see what AI tells them, not what it tells you when you ask about yourself.
How long does it take?
Results are delivered in under 5 minutes. No calls, no setup, no waiting.
What if I don't recognize the competitors you surface?
That's often the most valuable finding. AI platforms may be recommending brands you've never considered competitors. Knowing who's on the AI shortlist — and why — is exactly what the audit is designed to reveal. However, you can edit the competitor list to your preference.
Is this a one-time thing or should I run it regularly?
AI recommendations shift as platforms update their models and as competitors publish new content, so it pays to track it over time. A Professional subscription ($119/mo, with a 7-day free trial) lets you run Citro as often as you want and watch your score move. Enterprise ($299/mo) extends that to up to 10 companies or websites.
Who is this built for?
Any brand competing for attention in a category where buyers or consumers use AI to research options. That includes B2B companies, ecommerce brands, D2C products, and B2C brands in considered-purchase categories — anywhere AI is part of how people find and evaluate their options.
My customers don't seem to use AI to research purchases. Is this still relevant?
AI-assisted research is growing faster than most brands realize, and it's not evenly distributed. In B2B categories, procurement teams and senior buyers are already using ChatGPT and Perplexity to build vendor shortlists before a single sales call. In B2C, it shows up in product comparisons and "what should I buy" queries. If even 10% of your buyers are using AI to shortlist vendors and you're not on those lists, you're losing deals before the conversation starts. Citro tells you exactly where you stand today — and gives you 90 days to close the gap before that 10% becomes 30%.
What industries does this work for?
Citro has been used across B2B SaaS, professional services, financial services, ecommerce, healthcare technology, and D2C consumer brands. The common thread isn't industry — it's whether your buyers use AI to discover or evaluate options in your category. If buyers in your space ever ask AI a question like "best [your category] for [their situation]," you compete in AI search whether you've claimed that ground or not. The audit tells you who's currently winning those queries.
