Clear Cited — Services & Pricing
Be the answer AI gives.
Clear Cited is full-stack AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO) for B2B SaaS and developer tools. We measure share-of-model across the 5 AI engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok — plus Google's AI surfaces (AI Overviews & AI Mode), measured separately. The differentiator: we measure share-of-model rigorously, fix the SEO foundation with real data, and produce the content + authority end-to-end — then prove it. USD pricing, fixed and public — no calls, no lock-in.

One-time audits
| Audit | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Starter Audit | $500 | 10 prompts across every AI engine we track, technical AI-readiness, scorecard, top-10 fixes. Every paid product measures the full engine roster — we never cut an engine to hit a lower price. |
| Full Audit (AEO + SEO) | $2,500 | 20-30 prompts across every AI engine we track, competitor share-of-model, full SEO foundation (technical + SERP/keyword + on-page + entity + backlink), 30/60/90 roadmap. Required baseline before a retainer. |
| Comprehensive Audit | $4,500 | Full + top-5 page rewrites + schema specs + off-site placement plan + Directory Boost included. |
Audit-fee credit: Start a Growth, Scale or Authority retainer within 30 days of your audit and we credit the full audit fee to your first retainer invoice.
Done-for-you retainers (monthly, cancel-anytime)
| Retainer | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Growth | $2,950/month | Weekly tracking, monthly report, 2-4 optimizations/mo, schema/entity upkeep, 1 done-for-you content piece/mo, plus a one-time core directory/listing submission at onboarding. ~3.9x the standalone Measured subscription ($750/mo) — the tracking layer's price is checkable. |
| Scale | $6,500/month | Growth + more engines/markets, 4 content pieces/mo (answer-first, schema-marked), on-page, managed community, monthly digital PR, proactive placements, Directory Boost (30+ profiles) included on top of the one-time onboarding submission. |
| Authority | $12,000/month | Scale + 6-8 content pieces/mo, a managed social pack (12 original posts/mo, platform-tuned, text+image, no carousels/video), managed off-site/PR + active backlinks (the Off-site Authority motion, included), biweekly reporting, Directory Growth (60+ profiles) included on top of the one-time onboarding submission. At $12,000 the price reflects the real à-la-carte component value (~$11,650-12,850) — the whole engine run coordinated and managed as one, the top rung because it is the biggest commitment. |
Prepay: Prepay a retainer for a discount (3 months -10%, 6 months -15%, 12 months -20%, any tier). A prepaid term is a commitment for that period; after it ends, the retainer reverts to month-to-month, cancel-anytime.

How we measure
We run each buyer question at least 10 times per engine (spent adaptively — more on high-variance engines, fewer on stable ones, never below a 5-run floor) across 5 AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok), and report share-of-model with a bootstrap 95% confidence interval (presence figures carry a Wilson 95% interval). We measure 9 categories in our public AI Visibility Index. We never promise a guaranteed ranking or citation; case studies are labelled illustrative until real.
Google AI surfaces — measured separately (floor, not a ceiling)
We report Google AI Overviews as its own surface, never blended into a cross-engine score — it only fires on some searches, and a click lands in your analytics as ordinary organic traffic, so we treat measured AI referral as a floor, not a ceiling.
How we know it's working
How the system works — process claims, verifiable by design, never a promised ranking:
- Every piece we publish is attributed to the AI citations it earns — with receipts: the engine, the prompt, and the date it was cited. The content ledger logs each published piece; the attribution engine matches new AI citations back to the piece that earned them and records engine, prompt and date (Wave 200).
- We refresh published content on researched decay cadences — a systematic, substantive-update schedule, not a publish-and-forget. The refresh engine tracks each piece against decay cadences and queues substantive updates under a substantive-update contract (Wave 200), because AI citations skew toward fresh content.
- We deliver a measured baseline snapshot within 72 hours of kickoff, and reply to client requests rapidly and asynchronously. The activation flow (M0–M6) fires a baseline_snapshot within 72h of engagement (Wave 197); inbound comms are human-gated for same-day approved replies.
- We flag citation wins the same cycle they happen and advise on engine drift with before/after data — proactively, not on request. Win alerts fire when a piece newly earns a citation (Wave 198); drift advisories surface engine-behavior changes with the before/after measurement attached (Wave 199).
- Every piece runs through calibrated quality gates and lands in your approval queue before anything publishes — AI speed, human-approved. The content-dispatch choke point routes each item through risk-tiered judge panels and a trust matrix (Wave 196); nothing publishes without client approval.
