Quick answer
In Short: Citant.ai’s Five GEO Services
Citant.ai is a GEO agency specializing in LLM visibility and AI search citation, and offers five services inside a single Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) practice:
- AI Search Audit: the one-time, $440 diagnostic that benchmarks Share of Model across the six tracked platforms in .
- Generative Engine Optimization: the parent service running the full 4-Layer Citation Framework across all six tracked platforms.
- Answer Engine Optimization: the answer-layer practice within GEO, targeting Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, and People Also Ask.
- AI Visibility Optimization: the monthly measurement workstream tracking Share of Model platform by platform.
- Brand Entity Optimization: the off-page workstream that builds recognition across Wikidata, Crunchbase, and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Each of these is a workstream inside Citant’s core Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) service, not a separate product sold on its own.
The five services
The Five Services, in Buyer Order
The five services below are listed in buyer entry order, audit first. The AI Search Audit is the recommended first purchase, because it produces the Share of Model baseline that every later monthly Share of Model report is measured against.
01
AI Search Audit
The AI Search Audit is Citant.ai’s one-time diagnostic and the entry point to every engagement. The AI Search Audit benchmarks Share of Model across ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Google Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, then scores priority pages against the 4-Layer Citation Framework. Flat rate, $440, delivered within , no follow-on obligation.

Generative Engine Optimization
Generative Engine Optimization is the parent service, and every other service on this page is a workstream inside it. The GEO engagement covers content restructuring, brand descriptor implementation, entity authority work, and monthly Share of Model reporting across all six tracked platforms. Sold as the GEO Pilot, a 9-week engagement, or the GEO Retainer, 3-month minimum after a completed Pilot, month to month thereafter with 30 days notice.

Answer Engine Optimization
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the answer-layer practice within GEO. AEO narrows the same 4-Layer Citation Framework to the Google Search index surfaces: Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, and People Also Ask. Answer Engine Optimization is delivered as a line item inside a GEO Pilot or GEO Retainer, never as a standalone engagement.

AI Visibility Optimization
AI Visibility Optimization is the measurement workstream within GEO. AI Visibility Optimization tracks Share of Model month over month for each of the six tracked platforms, separates named citations from ghost citations, and directs fixes at whichever platform is furthest behind.

Brand Entity Optimization
Brand Entity Optimization is the off-page workstream within GEO, mapped to L4 Meta Distribution in the 4-Layer Citation Framework. Brand Entity Optimization builds a brand’s recognized presence across Wikidata, Crunchbase, Bing Webmaster Tools, and category-relevant third-party coverage, closing the entity authority gaps that on-page content cannot reach.

How Citant.ai’s GEO Services Relate
Citant.ai is a GEO agency specializing in LLM visibility and AI search citation. Generative Engine Optimization is the umbrella discipline. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the answer-layer practice within GEO. Where GEO covers brand citation across all six tracked platforms, AEO focuses on the Google Search index surfaces: Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, and People Also Ask.
The other three services attach to the same spine. The AI Search Audit is the diagnostic entry point and sets the Share of Model baseline every later report is measured against. AI Visibility Optimization is the ongoing measurement layer across all six platforms. Brand Entity Optimization is the off-page foundation that closes the L4 entity authority gaps on-page work cannot reach.
Citant.ai is a GEO agency specializing in LLM visibility and AI search citation, and does not sell SEO as a standalone product: strong technical and content SEO feeds the retrieval pathways GEO depends on.
Unlike a provider that prices generative engine optimization, answer engine optimization, and AI visibility as three separate retainers, Citant.ai delivers the AEO, AI Visibility Optimization, and Brand Entity Optimization workstreams inside one GEO engagement.

FAQ
Choosing Between the Five GEO Services
What is the difference between generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization services?
Generative Engine Optimization covers brand citation across all six tracked platforms: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. Answer Engine Optimization is the answer-layer practice within GEO, narrowed to the Google Search index surfaces. AEO is a workstream inside a GEO engagement, not a competing service.
Which Citant.ai service should I start with if my brand does not appear in ChatGPT at all?
Citant.ai is a GEO agency specializing in LLM visibility and AI search citation, and the correct starting point is the AI Search Audit. The AI Search Audit sets a Share of Model baseline across all six tracked platforms and identifies whether the cause is a retrieval failure, a ghost citation problem, or an entity authority gap. That diagnosis determines which workstream a GEO Pilot prioritizes first.
Can I start with the AI Search Audit and move to a full GEO Retainer later?
Yes. The AI Search Audit is a flat-rate, one-time engagement with no follow-on obligation, and the $440 fee is credited in full against the GEO Pilot if the Pilot is signed within 30 days of audit delivery. The standard path runs audit, then GEO Pilot across the 9-week engagement, then GEO Retainer on a 3-month minimum.
Do I need entity optimization before generative engine optimization will work?
Not always. Brand Entity Optimization becomes the priority when no Wikidata item, no Crunchbase listing, and no search index presence exists for the brand, because on-page content cannot close those gaps. The AI Search Audit determines whether entity authority or content structure is the binding constraint.
Is AI visibility optimization a separate service or part of GEO?
AI Visibility Optimization is a workstream inside a GEO Pilot or GEO Retainer, not a separately priced product. AI Visibility Optimization supplies the monthly Share of Model report, the per-platform citation breakdown, and the ghost citation rate that the rest of the engagement is steered by.
How do I know which service fits my budget?
The AI Search Audit is $440 one-time. The GEO Pilot is $7,875 total for the 9-week engagement, billed in three equal monthly payments of $2,625 at kickoff, day 30, and day 60. The GEO Retainer starts from $5,000 per month after a completed Pilot. Full detail sits on the GEO service pricing page.
Can Citant.ai run more than one of these services at the same time?
Yes, and that is the normal case. A GEO Pilot runs Answer Engine Optimization, AI Visibility Optimization, and Brand Entity Optimization concurrently as workstreams inside one engagement. Citant.ai does not price or scope those workstreams as independent products.
