Get ListedClear Cited is a specialized AI search optimization (AEO/GEO) agency focused exclusively on DevOps, developer tools, and B2B SaaS companies. The service addresses a growing challenge: as buyers increasingly use AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok to research products, being cited in AI answers becomes critical for visibility and pipeline. Clear Cited positions itself as a full-stack solution that combines SEO foundation, content creation, and authority building, all measured by a proprietary metric called "share-of-model" — the percentage of AI answers that recommend a given product. The company targets seed-to-Series A startups that lack in-house AEO expertise but need more than a DIY dashboard.
Share-of-Model Measurement — Clear Cited runs each buyer prompt 10+ times per engine and reports the median with a 95% confidence interval, providing statistically reliable data rather than anecdotal screenshots. This reproducibility is a core differentiator from black-box tools.
Full-Stack Service — Unlike point solutions that only measure or only create content, Clear Cited handles the entire stack: technical SEO, answer-first content, schema markup, off-site authority (directories, G2, Reddit, etc.), and digital PR. The company claims to work all four tiers of AI citation sources.
Engine-Specific Optimization — Because each AI engine produces different answers, Clear Cited optimizes per engine rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. The service includes engine-by-engine fixes and monthly re-measurement.
Done-for-You Content — The team writes and publishes answer-first blog articles, comparison pages, benchmark pages, and schema-marked content on the client's domain, as well as distributing content across 30+ channels including LinkedIn, X, Reddit, YouTube, Dev.to, Hashnode, and more.
Off-Site Authority Building — Clear Cited manages listings on directories like G2, Capterra, Crunchbase, Product Hunt, and SaaSHub, plus digital PR through expert commentary and data-led story pitches. This addresses the fact that ~95% of AI citations come from third-party sources.
Free Teardown — A no-cost entry point that analyzes 5-8 prompts across 3 engines, showing the top-3 competitor gap, a quick SEO + AI snapshot, and 3 fast fixes. This lowers the barrier to trying the service.
The engagement follows a four-step journey. First, a prospective client can start with a free teardown or a 60-second fit-finder quiz to understand their current AI visibility gap. Second, they can purchase a one-time audit — Starter ($500), Full AEO+SEO ($2,000), or Comprehensive ($3,500) — which provides a measured baseline and a 30/60/90-day roadmap. Third, they move to a done-for-you retainer: Growth ($1,500/mo), Scale ($3,500/mo), or Authority ($6,500/mo), each including a set number of content pieces, social posts, and off-site work. Fourth, add-ons like technical SEO, video packs, and digital PR are available à la carte. Throughout, every asset is researched across YouTube, Reddit, Dev.to, Hashnode, Medium, Stack Exchange, and search to ensure it matches what performs in the client's niche. Clients review and approve all work before publication.
DevOps Tool Launch — A new CI/CD platform wants to be recommended when developers ask AI for the best CI/CD tool. Clear Cited creates comparison pages, gets the product listed on G2 and Reddit, and measures share-of-model across five engines, showing improvement from 0% to 5% within three months.
B2B SaaS Category Leader — An established CRM software company notices competitors appearing in ChatGPT answers while they don't. Clear Cited audits their SEO foundation, rewrites key pages with answer-first content, and builds off-site authority, resulting in a 15% share-of-model increase.
Developer Tool with Open Source Community — A database company with strong open source adoption wants to convert that into AI citations. Clear Cited optimizes documentation for AI readability, creates schema-marked blog posts, and engages on Dev.to and Hashnode, leading to citations in Perplexity and Claude.
US-Based SaaS Scaling — A Series A company targeting US enterprise buyers needs to appear in AI answers used by procurement teams. Clear Cited handles W-8BEN paperwork, bills in USD, and runs the engagement async, providing monthly share-of-model reports that tie to pipeline.
Competitive Differentiation — A feature flag platform wants to outrank larger competitors in AI answers. Clear Cited identifies the specific prompts where competitors are cited, creates targeted content, and measures progress with confidence intervals, showing a 10% share gain over six months.
Clear Cited's pricing is structured to be accessible for seed-to-Series A startups while offering depth for growing companies. The free teardown provides immediate value with no commitment. Audits range from $500 to $3,500, which is reasonable compared to enterprise GEO agencies that charge $10,000/mo+. Retainers start at $1,500/mo for the Growth plan (one content piece per month, single category) and go up to $6,500/mo for Authority (6-8 content pieces, social pack, managed off-site/PR, backlinks, directory growth). Add-ons start from $400. The value proposition is strong for companies that lack in-house AEO expertise but need more than a dashboard — the done-for-you model saves time and provides measurable results. However, the pricing may be steep for very early-stage startups with limited budgets, and the long-term ROI depends on the client's ability to convert AI citations into actual pipeline.
Clear Cited fills a genuine gap in the market: it offers a full-stack, done-for-you AI search optimization service that is more affordable than enterprise agencies but more comprehensive than DIY tools. The emphasis on reproducible measurement with confidence intervals is a significant strength, as is the engine-specific optimization approach. The company's focus on DevOps and B2B SaaS gives it deep domain expertise, and the free teardown lowers the risk for potential clients. However, the service is not cheap for early-stage startups, and the results depend on factors outside Clear Cited's control (AI engine updates, competitor activity). The company is transparent about not guaranteeing citations, which is honest but may deter some buyers. Overall, Clear Cited is a strong choice for growth-stage developer tool and B2B SaaS companies that want to invest in AI search visibility with a partner that provides both strategy and execution.
