Be the one named

Get recommended when someone asks AI for a company like yours.

Fix the basics

Crawlability, schema and accurate business details handled without a web developer.

Keep it affordable

Flat monthly pricing that does not scale into an enterprise contract.

How Citera works

See where you stand

Citera runs the buying questions in your category across all AI models and records who gets named, who gets 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 only for tech companies?

No. Any business customers research before buying — local services, niche B2B, ecommerce — is being described by AI assistants right now.

Do I need a big website?

No. A small site that answers questions clearly often outperforms a large one that buries the detail.

How much does it cost?

From $219 a month, monthly rolling, with a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Will I need a developer?

No. Technical fixes deploy from the platform with rollback.

What is the difference between SMB and enterprise plans?

Scale, mostly — prompts tracked, seats and support. The core tracking and execution are the same.

What small businesses are up against

The rules changed and the budget did not.

Challenge 1

Bigger competitors dominate the AI answers in your category

Challenge 2

Business details and pricing are wrong or missing across the web

Challenge 3

No in-house marketing person to own the channel

Challenge 4

Agencies quote more per month than the channel is worth to you

Challenge 5

Nobody knows whether any of it is working

Enterprise capability, small-team price

The same tracking, fixes and publishing the big teams pay for, packaged so a small business can actually run it.

Answer tracking

See which businesses AI recommends in your category and whether you are among them.

Site and listing fixes

Correct crawlability, schema and the business details AI reads about you.

Content that earns mentions

Publish the pages and posts that get small businesses named in answers.

Simple reporting

One view of whether you are being recommended more than last month.

Do I need a big content budget?

No. A handful of pages that answer real customer questions clearly beats volume, and the platform writes and publishes them for you.

Other solutions

Local visibility

Get recommended for the services people ask AI about in your area.

Detail accuracy

Fix wrong hours, pricing and service descriptions across the sources AI reads.

Competitor gap

See which local rivals get named and why.

Website basics

Clear the technical issues blocking you without hiring a developer.

Content without a writer

Publish consistently without adding staff.

Budget certainty

Flat monthly cost, cancel any time.

Measured, fixed, published
