Become part of the conversation AI is already having.
When customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and other AI platforms for recommendations, businesses are no longer competing only for clicks or attention.
They are competing to be understood, trusted and recommended.
The businesses that become part of those conversations won't necessarily be the loudest. They'll be the businesses AI understands with confidence.
We help people, businesses, brands, products and services become part of the conversation AI is already having.
What is ProCited?
ProCited is an AI Visibility consultancy specialising in AI Visibility Optimisation (AIVO), GEO, AEO, AI SEO and AI search.
At ProCited, AIVO is our broader approach to improving how AI platforms discover, understand, describe, cite and recommend people, businesses, brands, products and services.
It brings together Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), AI SEO and the wider AI search environment.
We help people, businesses, brands, products and services decide which AI conversations and answers they want to become part of, understand their current visibility, and create the voice and trusted echoes that support recognition, citation and recommendation.
People are no longer just searching. They are asking.
The way people discover people, businesses, brands, products and services is changing.
Instead of scrolling through pages of search results, people increasingly ask AI direct questions, compare options and seek recommendations.
That changes how discovery happens.
When an AI platform uses web retrieval to generate an answer, it can draw on information from one or more sources across the web rather than relying only on a single website.
Those AI understands with greater confidence have a stronger opportunity to become part of relevant conversations and answers.
AI doesn't just listen for your voice. It listens for the echoes.
Your website is your voice. It tells AI who you are, what you do, who you help and why you are relevant.
But one website is still one source. AI can build confidence by recognising clear, consistent and credible echoes across the web.
Your website tells AI
- who you are
- what you do
- who you help
- why you are relevant
Those echoes include
- Trusted citations.
- Relevant directories.
- Reviews.
- Industry publications.
- Partner websites.
- Professional profiles.
- Communities.
- Consistent third-party information.
Each echo reinforces the next. Together they help AI better understand your expertise, credibility and relevance.
One voice makes a claim. Trusted echoes build confidence.
People, businesses, brands, products and services already have echoes across the wider web.
Some are strong.
Some are inconsistent.
Some are missing entirely.
ProCited helps identify, strengthen and expand the trusted echoes that support how AI understands and represents them.
We don't claim to create every echo. We help strengthen the ones that matter most.
AI doesn't just hear what you say. It looks for what is confirmed.
Your website is an important foundation.
But in the AI era, visibility is influenced by more than the information you control.
AI can connect information from multiple credible sources to understand:
- what you are known for;
- whether your expertise, products or services are recognised;
- how relevant you are to a particular question;
- whether you are relevant to an explanation or comparison;
- whether you could reasonably be included in a recommendation or answer.
The stronger and more consistent those trusted echoes become, the stronger the information environment AI has available to understand you.
What is AI Visibility Optimisation (AIVO)?
AI Visibility Optimisation (AIVO) is the practice of improving the clarity, accessibility, consistency and digital evidence that helps AI platforms discover, recognise, understand and potentially recommend a person, business, brand, product or service.
At ProCited, AIVO is the broader approach that brings together Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), AI SEO and the wider AI search environment.
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)
GEO focuses on visibility, representation, source use and citation within generative AI answers.
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)
AEO focuses on making information clear, structured, retrievable and useful when search engines and AI platforms generate direct answers.
AI SEO
AI SEO applies SEO principles to the AI search environment, helping content and entities become easier for AI-driven search systems to discover, understand and use in generated answers.
AI Search
AI search is the broader discovery environment in which people use AI platforms to ask questions, explore options, compare people, businesses, brands, products and services, and receive generated answers and recommendations.
AIVO brings these areas together with clear first-party information, credible third-party echoes and ongoing growth to strengthen how AI understands and represents people, businesses, brands, products and services.
A structured approach to AI Visibility.
Helping people, businesses, brands, products and services become part of relevant AI conversations and answers isn't about one tactic.
It requires a clear objective, an honest understanding of your current position, a strategy for the conversations that matter, strong digital evidence and continuous improvement.
ProCited brings these elements together through a practical five-stage approach.
AI Visibility Strategy Session
Every engagement begins by establishing what you want to achieve.
We clarify who you want to reach, what you want to be known for and which questions, comparisons and recommendations matter most.
AI Visibility Audit
We review your website, content, social profiles, core business information and selected AI responses.
The Audit identifies what is already clear, what is missing or inconsistent and what needs to be strengthened.
AI Conversation Strategy
Using the objectives from the Strategy Session and the findings from the Audit, we identify the questions, comparisons and recommendations that matter.
We determine what you need to say, what you need to prove and which information should be reinforced across your website and the wider web.
Voice and Echo Creation
Your website is your original voice.
We strengthen that voice where required and create or improve legitimate third-party echoes that reinforce who you are, what you offer and why you are relevant.
Ongoing Echo Growth
Customer questions change.
Competitors improve.
Information becomes outdated.
New opportunities appear.
Ongoing Echo Growth continually updates, expands and strengthens your voice and echoes so that you can become part of more relevant AI conversations over time.

What does AI Visibility mean at ProCited?
At ProCited, AI Visibility means the ability of a person, business, brand, product or service to be discovered, understood, represented and potentially cited or recommended by AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity.
Unlike traditional search visibility, AI Visibility is not simply about where a webpage appears. It is about whether AI has enough clear, credible and consistent information to understand an entity and recognise when it is relevant to a question, comparison, explanation or recommendation.
ProCited helps people, businesses, brands, products and services strengthen the information and credible digital evidence that can support that understanding.
Why doesn't AI simply rank websites the way search engines do?
AI platforms do not always return a ranked list of webpages because they can generate direct answers using model knowledge and, when available, information retrieved from one or more sources.
The sources, signals and processes used vary by platform, query, mode and available tools.
That means AI Visibility is not only about the position of a webpage. It is also about whether information is clear, accessible, credible and relevant enough to contribute to AI understanding and generated answers.
How does AI decide what to recommend?
AI recommendations are generated from the information, context and evidence available to the AI system for a particular question.
When web retrieval is available, an AI platform may use information from websites, citations, reviews, publications, directories, professional profiles and other relevant sources.
The information used varies by platform and query, but clear, consistent and credible information can help AI better understand who or what an entity is, what it offers and when it may be relevant.
ProCited helps strengthen the first-party voice and credible third-party echoes that support that understanding.
Why does ProCited talk about "echoes"?
ProCited talks about echoes because credible third-party information can reinforce what your own website says about you.
Your website is your voice. The wider web creates the echoes.
Those echoes can include citations, directories, reviews, publications, professional profiles, partner websites, communities and other relevant third-party sources.
Together, a clear first-party voice and credible echoes can strengthen how AI understands and represents a person, business, brand, product or service.
What is AI Visibility Optimisation (AIVO)?
AI Visibility Optimisation (AIVO) is ProCited's broader approach to strengthening how AI platforms discover, recognise, understand, describe, cite and potentially recommend people, businesses, brands, products and services.
AIVO brings together Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), AI SEO and the wider AI search environment.
It also considers first-party voice, credible third-party echoes, entity understanding, structured information and digital evidence.
The objective is to create a clearer and stronger information environment that helps an entity become relevant to the AI conversations and answers that matter.
What does AI Visibility Optimisation (AIVO) mean in practice?
In practice, AIVO means strengthening the information and digital evidence that helps AI understand who or what you are, what you offer, who you help and why you are relevant.
That can involve improving first-party information on your own website, strengthening entity clarity, structuring content so it is easier to understand and retrieve, identifying important questions and conversations, and developing credible third-party echoes across the wider web.
The objective is to strengthen your opportunity to become part of relevant AI-generated answers, comparisons, citations and recommendations.
How can ProCited help me become part of AI conversations?
ProCited helps people, businesses, brands, products and services become part of relevant AI conversations through its five-stage AIVO Method.
The five stages are:
- AI Visibility Strategy Session — defines what you want to be known for and which AI conversations and answers matter.
- AI Visibility Audit — assesses your website, content, profiles, core information, digital evidence and selected AI responses.
- AI Conversation Strategy — identifies the questions, comparisons and recommendations you should reasonably become part of.
- Voice and Echo Creation — strengthens your first-party voice and creates or improves credible echoes across the wider web.
- Ongoing Echo Growth — continues expanding, updating and strengthening your voice and echoes over time.
Together, these services strengthen the information and evidence AI platforms may use to discover, understand, describe, cite and recommend you.
Why is AI Visibility Optimisation (AIVO) becoming so important?
AI Visibility Optimisation is becoming increasingly important because more people are using AI platforms to ask questions, compare options, research choices and seek recommendations.
That means visibility is increasingly about more than appearing in traditional search results.
People, businesses, brands, products and services also need clear, credible and consistent information that helps AI systems understand when they are relevant to a question or generated answer.
AI Visibility is therefore something that can be strengthened over time as information, competitors, questions, sources and AI platforms continue to change.
The question is no longer simply: "Can people find you?"
It's becoming: "Can AI understand when you are relevant?"
People, businesses, brands, products and services increasingly need more than discoverability.
They need clear information, strong entity understanding and credible evidence that can help them become relevant to the questions, comparisons, explanations and recommendations AI platforms generate.
The strongest AI Visibility starts with a clear voice and grows through credible, consistent echoes.
