Your brand where AI does research.
GetCited places your brand strategically on sources that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI cite. Content creation, network distribution, and AI indexing – as a managed service.
Why traditional link building isn't enough
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini give direct answers. They recommend brands, tools, and providers – based on sources they were trained on or retrieve in real time. Eighty-five percent of these recommendations come from third-party sources, not the brand's own site. If your brand isn't present on those sources, you won't be recommended. Traditional link building targets PageRank. LLMs respond more strongly to mentions in highly authoritative, topically relevant sources.
Our approach: Citation Building as a Managed Service
GetCited strategically places your brand on the sources that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini actively cite. We identify relevant publications in your industry, create editorially strong content, and secure strategic placements – as a fully managed service. As a specialized citation-building provider in Germany, we consistently optimize for AI citability, not PageRank. The result: Your brand becomes visible where buying decisions start today.

Modules
Three stages that turn your brand into an AI recommendation
Stage 1: Content Creation
We research and create the main comparison article for high-intent search queries in your industry – structured with comparison tables and data formats that AI models prefer to read.
Stage 2: Network Distribution
We publish variations of the article across a network of trusted publishers and industry portals. This builds the digital consensus AI needs for fact evaluation.
Stage 3: AI Indexing & Recommendation
When users research buying decisions, AI tools prioritize these established sources in real time. The pages also become part of tomorrow's model training data.
Campaign Setup
Two phases, one goal
How a GetCited campaign works. Phase 1 is the one-time campaign launch, Phase 2 is ongoing monthly distribution.
Phase 1: Strategy and Setup
The one-time campaign launch. We build the foundation for all future placements:
- AI visibility audit via BuzzView
- High-intent query mapping
- Publisher strategy and mapping
- Main comparison article and variations
- BuzzView tracking setup
Phase 2: Monthly Distribution
The ongoing placement and distribution work. Once strategy is in place, we continuously handle:
- Publishing comparison articles on authoritative sites
- Content adaptation per publisher
- Publisher negotiations and management
- Monthly BuzzView reporting
Optional: We can add quarterly data PR boosts or narrative brand-story placements on editorial platforms. All campaigns run for twelve months with exit option after six months – available in Germany, UK, USA, and Spain.
How it works
The mechanics behind AI recommendations
Once placed, content works for months and years. LLMs draw on highly authoritative sources both during training and real-time retrieval – via different mechanisms with similar effect: whoever's present gets recommended.
GetCited optimizes for the three factors that determine whether a brand gets cited:
- Source authority – LLMs prefer established publications with high editorial quality.
- Topical relevance – Mentions in the right context carry more weight than generic mentions.
- Continuous presence – Regular mentions across multiple sources create signal strength.
Concretely: When someone searches "best CRM for startups" or "best business credit card for freelancers" in ChatGPT, source authority, topical relevance, and continuous presence determine which brands appear in the answer. GetCited optimizes for exactly these three factors.
Comparison
What sets GetCited apart from traditional link building
Most agencies still optimize for PageRank. GetCited optimizes for LLM citability – a fundamentally different approach. The difference shows in four areas:
- Target metric – Traditional providers optimize for follow links and domain authority. GetCited optimizes for source relevance, semantic embedding, and editorial quality – the factors that actually influence LLMs.
- Source selection – Traditional link building prioritizes by domain value. GetCited prioritizes by AI citability: Which sources do ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini actually use in your industry?
- Content approach – Generic guest posts aren't enough. GetCited creates topic-specific content that meets editorial standards and is semantically aligned with LLM retrieval.
- Measurability – Traditional tools measure rankings. GetCited campaigns are measured via BuzzView: before-and-after AI visibility comparison, share-of-voice development, and source coverage – real results, not guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions About GetCited
Citation building is the strategic placement of your brand on sources used by LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini as their information base. Unlike traditional link building, citation building doesn't target PageRank – it targets AI citability – aiming to get your brand actively recommended in AI answers.
We typically secure initial placements within 8–12 weeks. Measurable effects on AI visibility typically show from month 3–4 onward, since LLMs need time to index new sources and integrate them into their answers. Sustainable authority builds over six to twelve months of continuous effort.
We place on highly authoritative trade media, industry portals, business media, and topically relevant blogs. The specific selection is based on source analysis in BuzzView: Which sources do ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite for your industry? That's where we go.
Traditional link building optimizes for Google PageRank – follow links, domain authority, anchor text. GetCited optimizes for LLM citability – source relevance, semantic embedding, editorial quality. Both complement each other, but for AI visibility, the citation approach is significantly more effective.
