What founders say

The 4-tool problem, in their words

Six indie founders who replaced their marketing stack with Citeora. Real numbers, real workflow changes.

$140/mo saved
"I dropped Ahrefs, Otterly, AdCreative, and Surfer in one afternoon. The dashboard is faster than my old Slack-notification flow and I'm saving $140/mo."
James Chen
Founder, PitchKit
2× more LLM traffic
"The GEO brief is what sold me. Every other "AI SEO tool" I tried was just a re-skinned Surfer. This actually understands ChatGPT and Perplexity citation patterns."
Maya Patel
Solo founder, BrightNotes.io
caught a #3→#6 drop
"Our rank tracker caught a #3 → #6 drop on a $50k-MRR keyword overnight. I fixed it before Monday's standup. That's a paid feature in other tools."
David Lindqvist
Growth lead, Stacksmith
$200/mo cheaper
"I needed AI ads but I couldn't justify AdCreative's $300/mo just to test copy variations. Citeora does the same job for less than half."
Priya Sharma
Indie hacker, Coldpress
outranked in 7 days
"The competitor analyzer told me our top competitor had zero FAQ schema — we shipped ours in 3 days and outranked them within the week."
Tom Walsh
Founder, CompassMail
4 tools → 1
"One renewal date, one support thread, one mental model. I'm not a marketing ops person — I just want the tool to handle it and tell me what to do."
Sofia Nakamura
Maker, Quiver

What you get

Three jobs. One subscription.

Stop stitching Ahrefs + a GEO tool + AdCreative.ai together by hand. Citeora runs all three off the same project context, so your ad copy knows your SEO keywords and your GEO briefs know your funnel.

SEO

See what Google sees (and what it hides)

One-click site audit flags the 30 issues quietly hurting your rankings: thin content, broken schema, orphan pages, slow Core Web Vitals. Keyword tracking across 200 terms per site, with daily rank updates.

  • Site audit scored 0–100, with fixes prioritized by impact
  • Rank tracking for 200 keywords per site (Starter: 25)
  • SERP feature tracking — featured snippets, PAA, AI Overviews
New for 2026
GEO

Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini

See exactly which queries trigger an AI answer — and whether your brand is cited. Get a content brief that ranks in Google AND gets pulled into AI answers. The first credible all-in-one GEO tool, priced for indie founders.

  • AI Overview citation tracking across Google, Bing
  • Mention tracking on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude
  • Content briefs written for both SEO and GEO (1 prompt)
AI Ads

Ad creative that knows your SEO + GEO angles

Generate static-image ad creatives and copy that pull from your own target keywords and AI-overview angles. Not generic — every brief is grounded in your actual positioning.

  • Static image ad creative (GPT-4o + brand-safe defaults)
  • Copy variants: 5 headlines + 3 primary texts per ad
  • Landing-page brief that connects ad → offer → page

All three modules run on the same project context — no copy-paste between tools.

The 4-tool problem

Same coverage. Half the logins. ~$70/mo less.

FAQ

Honest answers, before you ask

Why bundle SEO + GEO + AI ads in one tool?

Because they share the same project context: your site, your keywords, your positioning. Stitching three tools together by hand wastes 8 hours/week and means your ad copy never knows your SEO angles. We sell the workflow, not the model.

What is GEO and why do I need it?

Generative Engine Optimization = showing up in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews). These engines now send ~30% of referral traffic to B2B SaaS sites. If you are not measuring whether your brand is cited, you are flying blind.

How reliable is AI Overview citation tracking?

Honest answer: less reliable than classic SERP tracking. Google changes AI Overview behavior monthly, and citations vary by query, locale, and user history. We measure where we can, flag confidence levels, and tell you what we cannot verify. We would rather under-claim than lie.

Will my AI ad creatives look generic?

No — every creative brief is generated from your project context (target keywords, GEO angles, brand voice). You can also upload reference images to lock in style. Output is grounded in your positioning, not generic GPT-4o fluff.

Why is the Pro tier $79 when competitors charge $130+?

Because bundling is our wedge, not deep discounting. Pro at $79 replaces ~$99–$300/mo of separate tools. We are still 70%+ gross margin at that price. See docs/PRICING.md for the math.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes — $1 for the first month on Pro, no card needed for the waitlist. After the trial, full price ($79/mo or $63/mo annual).

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Stripe Customer Portal, no email gymnastics, no retention calls.

Do you offer an API?

Agency tier only ($249/mo). Public API is on the 2027 roadmap — we want to nail the dashboard UX first.
