AI is answering your buyers' questions right now. The only question is whether it names you or your competitor. Citala makes catalog sites the source AI cites, then proves the movement month over month.
A free citation check on your top pages. No pitch until you have seen the data.
Buyers used to search, scan links, and click. Now AI answers the question and names a few sources. If you are not one of them, the buyer never sees you. There is no page two.
Enterprise platforms are priced for catalogs ten times your size. The tracking tools tell you that you are losing and fix nothing. Classic SEO still reports rankings while your traffic falls.
No platform to buy, no wall of content dumped on your store. Clean pages structured to be quoted, and a number that shows whether it worked.
I check what AI actually answers for your real buyer questions and show you, query by query, whether you are cited or losing to a competitor.
I build the decision content and answer blocks AI looks for, on clean hub pages that route buyers into your inventory. Your commercial pages stay clean.
A citation scorecard tracks the movement. Conservative, sourced, and honest. The trend line is the product.
Every retainer includes a monthly report that shows whether AI is citing you, what moved, and what did not. This is the format. The numbers are illustrative. Yours will be your own.

This is the gap most catalog sites cannot see. It is the gap Citala measures, then closes.
Citala is run by one person who knows your buyers, your inventory, and your voice. The work is drafted with AI and finished with judgment, because the human read on what content earns the lead is the part automation cannot supply. That is the whole point, and it is the thing a dashboard will never sell you.
Citala is an AI-search visibility service for automotive and B2B catalog businesses. It makes your pages the source that AI answer engines like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity cite when buyers ask questions, then measures the change month over month. It is run by Steve Mitchell of CreativeGuySteve.
Generative and answer engine optimization is the practice of structuring a site so AI answer engines quote it as a source. Traditional SEO competes for link rankings. GEO and AEO compete to be the named answer when AI responds, which matters because most searches now end without a click.
Independent and regional automotive or B2B catalog sites with roughly 200 to 10,000 products that depend on organic traffic and are losing it to AI answers. It is not built for enterprise catalogs that need a hosted platform, or for sites under a couple hundred pages that need content first.
A query-by-query audit of how AI currently answers your real buyer questions, showing where you are cited and where a competitor is named instead. There is no pitch until you have seen the data.
