The shift is already happening
AI and Google are running on
two completely different leaderboards.
80%
of sources cited by AI don't appear in Google's top 100 results for the same query
76→38%
of AI citations came from Google's top 10 — that number was cut in half in 12 months
Your Google rankings no longer predict your Citro visibility. The companies winning in AI search are largely not the companies winning in traditional SEO — and vice versa. That gap is widening every quarter.

What's behind the methodology
Built by practitioners with firsthand experience running go-to-market systems across six successful exits and $1.4B+ in enterprise value
Powered by RootPartners' proprietary AI buyer simulation methodology — the same research framework used in enterprise consulting engagements
Blind simulation across all 7 platforms your buyers actually use: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, and Grok
Why Citro is different
More than a score.
A strategic diagnosis.

A new category of tools tracks whether AI platforms mention your brand. Citro simulates the actual buyer research journey — and tells you exactly what to change to win it. Enterprise platforms like Profound now require $2,000+/month and a sales cycle. Citro gives you the same diagnostic depth for $97, with results in under 5 minutes and no contract.

Built on RootPartners' proprietary AI buyer research framework.

How it works
Built from your
buyers up.
We profile your business, construct synthetic buyer personas from thousands of data signals, then watch what AI tells them.
01 — Company Profile
We model your competitive landscape
Enter your URL and we build a detailed profile of your business — your positioning, category language, and competitive context. Every persona we construct is grounded in your actual market.
02 — Persona Construction
We build your buyers
Using thousands of data signals — job function, industry, company size, buying stage, and behavioral patterns — we construct personas that accurately simulate the real humans evaluating your category. Each searches independently, with zero brand signaling.
03 — Blind Evaluation
We run them across 7 AI platforms
Each persona queries ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, and Grok independently. We capture every recommendation, extract why competitors win, and synthesize it into a root cause diagnosis and 90-day roadmap.
Synthetic buyer simulation
We don't check your brand.
We simulate your buyers.

Every audit constructs personas based on your actual market — their role, company size, buying stage, and the exact queries they run. Here's what that looks like.

Is Citro right for you?
Who this is built for.
If AI is part of how your customers find and evaluate options, this audit is for you.
The only brands that don't need this are ones with no online presence and no named competitors — yet.
What's included
Everything you need to
compete in AI search.

Common questions
Answers to what
people actually ask.
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 7 AI platforms — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, 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.
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. A one-time Snapshot tells you where you stand today. A Professional subscription ($119/mo) lets you track score movement over time and catch shifts before they cost you deals. 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.
