Designed for enterprise marketing teams and growing businesses, it unifies AI strategy tools, automated keyword research, content drafting, and human editorial networks within a single operational dashboard.

SmartCited shows local businesses whether ChatGPT and Gemini recommend them. It asks the engines the same unbranded questions real customers ask (like "best pizza in San Jose"), live, with nothing simulated, then shows which businesses and sources get cited and gives a plain-English plan to get recommended. Start with two free scans, no credit card. SmartCited Pro ($49.99/month) adds automatic daily re-scans of one tracked business and a visibility trend chart. SmartCited also builds AI-readable websites for local businesses from their Google Maps, Yelp and Facebook pages.
