Highlights
Built the 4-Layer Citation Framework, a diagnostic model that isolates why a brand is retrieved by an AI system but never named in the answer.
Backs every GEO Pilot with a contractual 9-week citation guarantee: on the GEO Pilot, measured across at least 2 of 6 tracked platforms.
Grew Pakistan’s SOLIDWORKS community to 792,000 organic impressions and directed a global SOLIDWORKS Certification Drive that expanded from 930 to 4,057 participants across 58 countries.
Measures every engagement against a single metric, Share of Model, across ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Google Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.
Why I Founded Citant.ai in October 2025
I founded Citant.ai on because I kept seeing the same failure that traditional agencies had no framework for: a brand’s content gets retrieved by an AI system and never named in the answer it produces. I call that a ghost citation. Rather than bolt AI onto an old SEO playbook, I built the agency around the 4-Layer Citation Framework, which diagnoses citation failure at retrieval, re-ranking, generation, and meta-distribution as four separate problems. For teams that want that framework applied end to end, Citant.ai’s generative engine optimization service covers all four layers across ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Google Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.
What a GEO Architect Does at Citant.ai
A GEO Architect designs the systems that decide whether an AI platform names a brand in a generated answer. My work covers chunk architecture, brand definition frequency, entity authority signals, and Share of Model measurement across the six tracked platforms. Unlike an SEO consultant optimizing for ranking positions, I optimize for a different outcome entirely: whether the brand gets named, not just whether the page gets retrieved.
Areas of Expertise
I focus on a deliberately narrow set of problems in generative search:
- Generative Engine Optimization strategy and Share of Model measurement
- Ghost citation diagnosis and brand definition frequency
- Chunk architecture and retrieval optimization for LLMs
- Answer Engine Optimization as the answer-layer practice within GEO
- Brand entity authority across ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews
The Results Standard I Hold
Every Citant engagement is scored against one metric, Share of Model, measured before and after the work across six tracked platforms. That standard is backed contractually by the GEO Pilot’s 9-week citation guarantee: the brand appears by name in responses to at least 3 agreed target queries across at least 2 of 6 tracked platforms within 9 weeks, or a full refund within a 5-business-day window. You can review Citant.ai’s published client results.
The 9-week citation guarantee
Your brand is named in AI answers to at least 3 agreed queries across at least 2 of 6 tracked platforms within 9 weeks, or you get a full refund.

What I Write About
I publish on how large language models choose the sources they cite, and how B2B SaaS brands earn a place in those answers. If GEO is new to you, start with Citant’s pillar explainer on what generative engine optimization is, then work through the platform-specific guides.
