"I ran my Citro and found out two direct competitors were being recommended before us on ChatGPT. The 90-day plan told me exactly why and what to change. Worth it in the first read."

The biggest shift in buyer research since Google
AI and Google are running on
two completely different leaderboards.
80%
of sources cited by AI don't appear in Google's top 100 results for the same query
76→38%
of AI citations came from Google's top 10 — that number was cut in half in 12 months
Your Google rankings no longer predict your Citro visibility. The companies winning in AI search are largely not the companies winning in traditional SEO — and vice versa. That gap is widening every quarter.

What Citro does
Builds editable buyer personas specific to your company, then asks AI the questions those buyers actually ask. Simulation of real buyers, not keyword monitoring.
Scores where you rank and get recommended across all 7 platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, Grok), head to head against your named competitors.
Hands back a build plan drawn from your own website, code, and market, sequenced over 30 to 90 days to move your score. A plan you can ship, not a checklist.
We practice what we preach

We run Citro on Citro.

We hold ourselves to the same standard we sell. We audit our own AI visibility across all seven platforms, follow the same 90-day plan we hand you, and re-score to prove it moves. The method has to work on the company that builds it before we ask it to work for you.

Why Citro is different
More than a score.
A strategic diagnosis.

A new category of tools tracks whether AI platforms mention your brand. Citro simulates the actual buyer research journey, and tells you exactly what to change to win it. Enterprise platforms like Profound now require $2,000+/month and a sales cycle. Citro gives you the same diagnostic depth starting with a free 7-day trial, with results in under 5 minutes and no contract. See how we compare →  ·  Best AI search visibility audit tools →

Simulates what AI tells your actual buyers

Built on RootPartners' proprietary AI buyer research framework.

We simulate your buyers.
Then we show you what AI tells them.
Enter your URL. We profile your business, construct synthetic buyer personas, and run them across 7 AI platforms — blind, with no brand signaling.
01 — Company Profile
We model your competitive landscape
Enter your URL and we build a detailed profile of your business — your positioning, category language, and competitive context. Every persona we construct is grounded in your actual market.
02 — Persona Construction
We build your buyers
Using thousands of data signals (job function, industry, company size, buying stage, and behavioral patterns), we construct personas that accurately simulate the real humans evaluating your category. You can review, edit, and evolve every persona, and your changes take effect on the next run. Each searches independently, with zero brand signaling.
03 — Blind Evaluation
We run them across 7 AI platforms
Each persona queries ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, and Grok independently. We capture every recommendation, extract why competitors win, and synthesize it into a root cause diagnosis and 90-day roadmap.
Synthetic buyer simulation
We don't check your brand.
We simulate your buyers.

Every audit constructs personas based on your actual market — their role, company size, buying stage, and the exact queries they run. Here's what that looks like.

Personas are constructed fresh for every audit, based on your company and your actual buyers, and they are yours to see, edit, and evolve.
If buyers in your category use AI, you compete in AI search.
Whether you know it or not, AI is already building shortlists in your category. Here's who needs to know where they stand.
The only brands that don't need this are ones with no online presence and no named competitors — yet.
Everything you need to
compete in AI search.
Citro Score
A weighted score (0–100%) measuring how prominently your brand appears across all platforms and query types — benchmarked against your named competitors.
Synthetic Buyer Simulations
Buyer personas that simulate your exact buyer actively researching your category — blind, with no brand signaling, across multiple buying stages.
Competitive Intelligence
See exactly which competitors AI recommends instead of you, how often, and why — including structural analysis of what gives them the advantage.
90-Day Action Roadmap
A build plan drawn from your actual website, code, and market, sequenced across content, technical, and distribution with effort and impact ratings. Specific enough to assign and ship, not a generic checklist.
Answers to what
people actually ask.
How does the audit actually work?
You enter your company name and website URL. We build a detailed profile of your business, construct synthetic buyer personas based on your actual market, then run those personas across 7 AI platforms — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, and Grok — without any brand signaling. We capture every recommendation, analyze why competitors win, and deliver a root cause diagnosis and 90-day action plan.
Does Citro use its own product?
Yes. We run Citro on our own company across every platform, follow the same 90-day plan we give customers, and track our score as it moves. We will publish the before and after as a case study. We are not going to ask you to trust a method we do not run on ourselves.
What makes this different from just searching my brand in ChatGPT?
When you search your own brand, you're not simulating how a buyer actually researches your category. Citro constructs personas with specific job functions, buying stages, and behavioral patterns, then runs category-level queries — the same way a real buyer would. You see what AI tells them, not what it tells you when you ask about yourself.
How long does it take?
Results are delivered in under 5 minutes. No calls, no setup, no waiting.
What if I don't recognize the competitors you surface?
That's often the most valuable finding. AI platforms may be recommending brands you've never considered competitors. Knowing who's on the AI shortlist — and why — is exactly what the audit is designed to reveal. However, you can edit the competitor list to your preference.
Is this a one-time thing or should I run it regularly?
AI recommendations shift as platforms update their models and as competitors publish new content, so it pays to track it over time. A Professional subscription ($119/mo, with a 7-day free trial) lets you run Citro as often as you want and watch your score move. Enterprise ($299/mo) extends that to up to 10 companies or websites.
Who is this built for?
Any brand competing for attention in a category where buyers or consumers use AI to research options. That includes B2B companies, ecommerce brands, D2C products, and B2C brands in considered-purchase categories — anywhere AI is part of how people find and evaluate their options.
My customers don't seem to use AI to research purchases. Is this still relevant?
AI-assisted research is growing faster than most brands realize, and it's not evenly distributed. In B2B categories, procurement teams and senior buyers are already using ChatGPT and Perplexity to build vendor shortlists before a single sales call. In B2C, it shows up in product comparisons and "what should I buy" queries. If even 10% of your buyers are using AI to shortlist vendors and you're not on those lists, you're losing deals before the conversation starts. Citro tells you exactly where you stand today — and gives you 90 days to close the gap before that 10% becomes 30%.
What industries does this work for?
Citro has been used across B2B SaaS, professional services, financial services, ecommerce, healthcare technology, and D2C consumer brands. The common thread isn't industry — it's whether your buyers use AI to discover or evaluate options in your category. If buyers in your space ever ask AI a question like "best [your category] for [their situation]," you compete in AI search whether you've claimed that ground or not. The audit tells you who's currently winning those queries.
