Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShoppers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews before they buy. Cite Me checks whether 16 AI crawlers can reach your store and names what is blocked. A scan reads up to 100 storefront pages per run and gives each scanned page a predicted, heuristic citability score with a prioritized fix. It then drafts citable Q&A and structured data grounded only in your own catalog.
CitedSEO manages both traditional search optimization and visibility in AI answer engines from one dashboard. It edits meta titles, descriptions, alt text, and schema markup, fixes redirects and broken links, and audits your sitemap and llms.txt file. It also tracks how AI crawlers like ChatGPT and Perplexity access your store, flags aging or thin content, and generates FAQ schema that AI engines can cite directly.
