# Citovate > Citovate is an AI visibility platform that shows businesses whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude recommend them, and how to fix it. Citovate shows small businesses and the agencies that serve them how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend them, who those AI models recommend instead and why, and drafts the fixes for the owner to publish. This is generative engine optimization (GEO). Citovate asks the major AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews) the questions real customers ask (for example "best hibachi catering in Austin" or "emergency plumber near me in Denver"), saves every answer, and turns them into an AI Visibility Score from 0 to 100. Only neutral questions (ones a new customer would ask without knowing the business's name) count toward the score. 10 questions on Free (7 that score + 3 about you, 4 shown) and 10 on Starter, 20 on Pro. 3 AI tools of your choice from 6 on Starter and Pro (2 on the free scan, picked for you). ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. One check a week is included and runs automatically (you choose the day and time). Need more? Extra checks are priced for your own setup, shown before you pay, on your saved card. Daily is just an extra check every day. Starter: a weekly AI score email. Pro: the weekly email plus your 3 fixes, each one tap to start. We draft, you publish. Starter has 1 login; Pro has 3 logins (you plus 2 teammates, each with their own weekly email). More AI tools and questions are priced from our measured cost: +1 AI tool about $6/mo, +5 questions about $5/mo. Extra checks: an extra check on Pro is about $4.39, shown for your own setup before you pay. Citovate never changes a customer's website without approval, and does not promise rankings or specific AI answers. ## About - Company: Citovate, founded 2026. Founder and CEO: Steven Edwards.
