Most local businesses are invisible to AI search. We fix that.

CiteZilla — Structured Answer Pages for Local AI Search

When someone asks Google AI, ChatGPT, or Perplexity for a business like yours — you're not in the answer. Your site doesn't have the structured content AI needs to recommend you. We build it.

The problem

Why doesn't AI recommend your business?

Google AI Mode has crossed 1 billion monthly users. When someone asks "who's a good plumber in Stockton?" — AI gives them an answer. If your website doesn't have the structured content AI needs, you won't be in it.

0%
No Click Searches

93% of AI Mode queries end without a click to any website. The AI gives the answer directly. Being the source AI cites is how you get found.

0
Monthly AI Users

Google AI Mode alone has crossed 1 billion monthly users. Your customers are already asking AI for recommendations.

0%
Sites Ready

Fewer than 5% of websites are optimized for AI search. Most local business sites lack the structured content AI needs to understand and recommend them.

How it works

How does CiteZilla help AI find your business?

We build the structured answer pages and schema your website needs so AI search engines have clear, crawlable content to understand and recommend your business.

/ 01

We scan your website and show you exactly what AI sees

CiteZilla checks 9 categories — schema markup, content structure, answer pages, brand consistency, AI bot access, sitemap depth, and more. You get a score and a grade in 30 seconds.

/ 02

We build 10-20 answer pages for the questions your customers ask AI

Each page targets a specific query like "how much does AC repair cost in Stockton?" — with your business name, services, pricing, and service area. Question-format headings, direct answers in the first paragraph, FAQ schema, comparison tables. Everything AI needs to cite you.

/ 03

You paste one code block and we handle the rest

We give you a schema block to paste in your website header (works on any platform — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or anything else). We also provide an llms.txt file and host the answer pages. Your web person spends 10 minutes. We do the rest.

Before & after

What changes when AI can actually read your site?

    FAQ

    What are the most common questions about CiteZilla?

    CiteZilla builds the structured answer pages and schema your local business needs so AI search engines (Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) have clear, crawlable content to understand and recommend you. We create 10-20 answer pages targeting specific questions customers ask AI, add schema markup to your site, and provide an AI routing file.
    SEO gets you ranked in a list of search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gives AI the structured content it needs to recommend you directly in the answer. Good SEO is still the foundation — AEO builds on top of it by adding question-format answer pages, schema markup, and FAQ structure that AI engines can easily extract and cite.
    No one can guarantee AI citations. What we do is create the structured, answer-ready pages that AI search engines need before they can recommend you. Whether AI actually cites you also depends on your reviews, brand authority, content quality, and competition. We build the infrastructure — then track progress over 90 days so you can see what's working.
    Three things, about 10 minutes total: (1) Fill out a short intake form about your services and pricing, (2) paste a schema code block into your website header (your web person can do this — it works on any platform), and (3) optionally add a DNS record if you want the answer pages hosted on your subdomain. We handle everything else.
    We deliver everything within 1-2 weeks. AI engines take time to index new content — typically 2-8 weeks depending on the platform. Perplexity picks up changes fastest (it searches the live web). Google and ChatGPT are slower. We re-scan at 90 days and give you a before/after report.
    Any local service business — HVAC, plumbing, electricians, realtors, dentists, roofing, pest control, auto repair, landscaping, and more. If customers in your city are asking AI "who's a good [your service] near me?" — this is for you.
    All of them. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, AgentFire, IDX Broker, kvCORE, custom sites — any platform that lets you paste code into the header (which is nearly all of them). The answer pages are hosted separately, so your existing site doesn't need to change.
