Search Experience Optimization — EST. 2024

Your brand should be cited everywhere.

Ten years ago you optimized for ten blue links. Now you have to earn mentions in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — or become invisible. Web Cited audits all of it.

What is SXO?

Search Experience Optimization is the discipline of earning visibility across every surface where buyers now look for answers — traditional search engines, answer engines, and generative models.

SEO gets you ranked. AEO gets you answered. GEO gets you cited by AI. SXO makes sure all three happen at once, with messaging that survives when your paragraph is rewritten by a language model.

If a machine can answer the question without you, you lose the customer.

03 — Why Web Cited

We audit the engines, not just the rankings.

Most SEO audits stop at Google. We test the engines your buyers actually use — and measure how each one quotes, paraphrases, or ignores you.

P01

Multi-engine coverage

We test the same prompts across Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude so you can see exactly where your competitors are winning citations.

P02

Citation-share scoring

For every buyer question in your category, we score how often your brand is named versus competitors — and what specific content earned the mention.

P03

Fix list, not thought leadership

Every finding ships with the exact change needed — schema, copy edit, page structure, or new asset — ordered by projected impact. No fluff, no retainer upsell.

Ready when you are

See where AI is citing your competitors instead of you.

One payment. One report. Four weeks to delivery. No retainer, no upsell path, no agency hours to burn down.
