Managed AEO
The same platform, run by our team. We choose the fixes, write and publish them, run the outreach and report every week.
From $3,500 a month, 3-month minimumWhat is managed AEO?
Our team gets you into the answers.
Answer engine optimization is the work of getting your brand named and cited when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Managed AEO means we do that work for you, on the Cituna platform, with you approving what ships.
- We find why each engine leaves you out: the page it read instead, the list you are missing from, the page of yours it cannot parse.
- We ship the fixes: answer-first pages, new articles, schema, llms.txt, crawler access and outreach.
- We measure every question daily and report the movement weekly, engine by engine.
How is it different from an agency?
An agency with a measuring instrument built in.
Measured every day
Every question runs on all 7 engines daily, so a change shows up in days, not in a quarterly deck.
The dashboard we work from
You get your own Cituna workspace: the same answers, sources and rivals our team sees, by engine and date.
Software counts, people decide
Cituna finds the gaps and drafts the fixes. Our team chooses what matters, edits it and ships it.
Your questions, not ours
You approve the questions we track and can change them at any time. We report on what your buyers ask.
What happens after we start?
Five steps, repeated every month.
Pick the questions
We research what your buyers ask AI engines in each market and language, and agree the list with you. You can change it at any time.
Measure the baseline
Cituna asks every question on all 7 AI engines every day, and records who gets named and which sources get cited.
Find the cause
For each answer that leaves you out, we look at what the engine read instead: a rival page, a review site, a list you are missing from or a page of yours it cannot parse.
Ship the fixes
We rewrite pages answer-first, publish new articles to your CMS, fix schema, llms.txt and crawler access, and pitch the sites engines already trust.
Measure again
Daily tracking shows what moved, on which engine and for which question. The next sprint starts from that, not from a guess.
What do you deliver?
The work AI engines read.
Pages and articles
Answer-first rewrites of the pages that should win each question, and new articles where you have no page at all, published to your CMS after you approve them.
Technical fixes
Structured data, an llms.txt file, and AI crawler access checked page by page against which crawlers actually read your site.
Source outreach
The review sites, lists and publications AI engines cite for your questions, ranked by how often they are cited, with a pitch to each one that does not mention you yet.
Reporting
A weekly report on what shipped and what moved, a monthly review call, and the live Cituna dashboard in between.
How will we know it works?
Every change, on the record.
You see the numbers we work from, not a summary of them. Each week covers:
- Your share of answers on each engine, and how it moved.
- The sites engines cite for your questions, and which ones now mention you.
- Where you stand against each rival you track.
- What shipped this week and what ships next.
Who is it for?
Teams that need the result, not another tool.
- B2B and SaaS companies whose buyers ask AI to shortlist vendors.
- E-commerce and consumer brands compared in AI shopping answers.
- Clinics, property firms, law firms and other local services named in “best in my city” answers.
- Marketing teams without the hours to run AEO themselves.
Where?
Your markets, your languages.
Cituna asks questions in 19 languages, Arabic included, and in the country you choose, so a brand selling in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India or Singapore is measured where and how its buyers ask. Articles are written in the language you sell in.
What does it cost?
One retainer. Scope agreed up front.

Managed AEO questions
What is managed AEO?
Managed AEO (answer engine optimization) means our team does the work of getting your brand named and cited in AI answers. We pick the questions your buyers ask, track them on all 7 AI engines with Cituna, fix the pages and sources the engines read, and report what changed every week.
How is it different from using Cituna myself?
Self-serve Cituna, from $49 a month, gives you the tracking, the fix list and the article writer, and you do the work. Managed AEO is the same platform run by our team: we decide what to fix, write and ship it, and run the outreach.
What do you deliver each month?
Each monthly sprint ships page rewrites and new articles, published to WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Ghost, Sanity, Contentful, a GitHub repo or any CMS by webhook or Zapier; technical fixes such as schema, llms.txt and crawler access; and outreach to the sites AI engines cite. You get a weekly report and a review call each month.
How long until we see results?
AI engines pick up changes on their own schedule. Some answers move within weeks, others take months, which is why the minimum term is three months. Daily tracking shows you each change as it happens.
Do you guarantee results?
No. AI engines decide what they cite, and nobody can promise a citation. We commit to the work, the weekly reporting and full access to the data, so you can judge the results yourself.
Which AI engines do you cover?
All 7 that Cituna tracks: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode.
Which markets and languages do you work in?
Cituna asks questions in 19 languages, Arabic included, and in the country you choose, so a brand selling in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India or Singapore is measured where and how its buyers ask. Articles are written in the language you sell in.
How much does managed AEO cost?
From $3,500 a month, 3-month minimum. The exact scope depends on how many brands, markets and questions you need, and we agree it with you before anything starts.
What do you need from us?
A contact who can approve content, access to publish to your CMS or a person who can, and an hour a month for the review call. Everything else we do.
