CITERA :: SOLUTIONS
Start organic from absolute zero
No content, no rankings, no team. Citera builds the foundation in order — fix the site, publish the pages that answer real questions, then earn the third-party mentions AI engines trust — and reports what moved.

Outcome
Key Fact 1
No existing content or traffic required to start
Key Fact 2
Order matters: technical foundation first, then content, then mentions
Key Fact 3
Runs on autopilot, so it does not need a marketing hire
Build the foundation
Crawlability, schema and structure fixed before a single page is written.
Publish the first pages
The questions your category actually asks, answered properly, straight into your CMS.
Earn the first mentions
Third-party posts so AI engines have a source for you beyond your own site.
How Citera works
See where you stand
Citera runs the buying questions in your category across all AI models and records who gets named, cited, and which sources decide it.
Fix what blocks you
Crawler access, rendering, schema and hidden pricing get detected and deployed automatically, with rollback — no developer ticket.
Publish what gets quoted
Answer-shaped pages go straight into your CMS, and Citera posts to the third-party surfaces AI engines lean on.
Prove it moved
The same prompts rerun on a schedule, so you can show the answer changed rather than reporting activity.
Is this worth it before we have any traffic?
That is the point — the foundation is cheapest to fix before you have content built on top of it, and AI answers about your category are already being formed without you.
How long until anything shows up?
Technical work and first pages land in the first weeks. Being named in AI answers depends on corroborating sources, which take longer to build.
What do you need from us to start?
Site access and a short brief on what you sell and to whom. Everything else is discovered.
Can I control what gets published?
Yes. Review-first is available, and technical deployments carry rollback.
Is there a cheaper way to try it?
There is a 3-day free trial, then monthly rolling from $219 with a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Starting from nothing is its own problem
Every guide assumes you already have traffic to analyse. You do not.
Challenge 1
No baseline data, so nobody knows what to write first
Challenge 2
AI answers about your category name only competitors
Challenge 3
No brand mentions anywhere for engines to draw on
Challenge 4
Technical foundation was never set up
Challenge 5
No time or team to learn the channel from scratch
A first 90 days that actually happens
The whole sequence handled in order, with a plain-language report on what changed.
Category mapping
Identify the questions and prompts that decide your category before writing a word.
Foundation setup
Crawler access, rendering, schema and site structure deployed automatically.
First content set
The pages a new brand needs to be quotable — answers, comparisons and pricing stated plainly.
First mentions
Third-party posts so engines have corroborating sources about you from the start.
How long until the first results?
Technical fixes and first pages land within weeks. Being named in AI answers depends on third-party corroboration, which is the slowest part — expect months, not days.
