What they are
An AI-search visibility platform - their positioning: "Optimize Your Brand's Visibility in AI Search" - that tracks and helps improve how a brand appears in AI answer engines.
Where Clear Cited differs
- Measured, not asserted: at least 10 runs per engine, spent adaptively, + a confidence interval — reproducible.
- Receipts: the published AI-Visibility Index + real teardowns you can check.
- A service, not a dashboard: we do the work, not just the tracking.
Our honest drawbacks
- We are a young studio: no long public case-study history yet (our case studies are clearly labelled illustrative until real ones exist).
- We are a solo-operator studio by design - a deliberately small client roster and finite capacity, not a large account team.
- No phone or call support, ever - everything is async and written. If you want weekly calls, we are the wrong pick.
