Cited: AI Search Optimizer

Acerca de esta app

Cited is a macOS application designed to help content marketers, SEO professionals, and writers ensure their work is cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. The app uses a deterministic analysis engine to evaluate content based on five weighted dimensions: Structure & Headings, FAQ & Q&A Coverage, Structured Data, Answer-First Writing, and Entity & Claim Coverage. Users can paste text or provide a URL to receive an Answer-Engine Readiness score from 0–100 along with prioritized, concrete suggestions for improvement.

The core functionality operates without external AI services, ensuring privacy as pasted content is analyzed locally on the Mac with no accounts, analytics, or tracking required. For enhanced insights, users can optionally connect an AI provider—such as Apple Intelligence (on-device), a local Ollama server, or an API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or compatible endpoints—to generate narrative reports and simulate AI answers to target queries. This allows users to verify how their optimized content might appear in actual AI-generated responses.
