Platform
From website audit to visibility intelligence.
CiteScope transforms complex website signals into a clear picture of where visibility is strong, where competitors are ahead, and what should be fixed next.
What CiteScope analyses
Six categories, assessed together, so a strength in one area doesn’t hide a gap in another.
Technical SEO
Crawlability, site structure and the technical basics search engines rely on.
- Indexation & crawlability
- Core Web Vitals
- Site structure
Content Quality
Depth, specificity and usefulness of what's actually on the page.
- Content depth
- Topical coverage
- Freshness
Answers
How clearly content is structured to answer questions directly.
- Question-format content
- FAQ schema
- Direct-answer structure
GEO / AI Visibility
Whether a business is actually cited when AI models are asked realistic questions.
- AI citation check
- Claim consistency
- Structured entity data
Local SEO
Signals influencing local visibility and discoverability.
- NAP consistency
- LocalBusiness schema
- Map & directory presence
Conversion (CRO)
Signals affecting whether visitors take action once they arrive.
- Calls to action
- Trust indicators
- Page experience
AEO & GEO
The next search result may not be a search result.
A growing share of discovery now happens inside answer-driven and generative interfaces, where a summarised response can replace the list of links entirely. Whether a business appears in that response depends on different signals than classic search ranking.
Rather than guess, CiteScope checks directly: it sends real prompts to an AI model the way a prospective customer would type them, then checks whether the business actually gets mentioned in the response.
AI Citation Check
BETAConfigurable prompts — “best occupational health provider in Johannesburg,” for example — sent to an AI model, checking whether the client is actually mentioned in the response. Uses real API credits per check; currently a single engine.
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
How well content is structured to be pulled into answer-driven search experiences — question-based headings, direct answers and FAQ structure.
Turn complex analysis into a report a client can understand.
Every audit can be exported as a client-ready report — an executive summary in plain language, backed by the full detail underneath.

Don’t just measure your website. Measure your position.
Every audit benchmarks a site against the competitors that matter, across the signals that influence discovery — surfacing both gaps and genuine advantages.

Illustrative comparison. Actual audits benchmark against the competitors you specify.
From finding problems to fixing them
A list of forty-seven issues doesn’t tell a team what to do next. CiteScope turns each audit into a workflow: recommendations persist between audits and carry a status — re-running an audit never resets anything already marked as in progress or resolved.
Identified in the latest audit, not yet actioned.
Assigned and being worked on.
Confirmed fixed in a subsequent audit.
Acknowledged and deliberately deprioritised.
Off-site signals
Not everything that affects visibility lives on the website.
A Google Business Profile, a directory listing, a review platform — these shape how a business is found, but none of them can be crawled the way a page can. Rather than leave them out of the audit, CiteScope tracks them as a checklist the team works through together with the client, one confirmation at a time.
Each item carries a status and an optional note, so context — who’s chasing access, what was last checked — doesn’t get lost between audits.
Off-site presence
2 / 6 confirmedCan’t be crawled automatically — these live on third-party platforms, not the client’s own site.
- ConfirmedGoogle Business Profile claimed & complete
- ConfirmedNAP consistent across primary directories
- MissingFacebook Business Page linked from site
Waiting on access from the client's marketing team.
- MissingApple Maps / Business Connect listing
- MissingPrimary industry directory listing
- MissingReview platform presence (Google, Hello Peter)
Visibility should improve over time.
Repeated audits build a history of performance, so a team can see whether the work they’re doing is actually moving the visibility profile — not just producing another report.
