Frequently asked
questions.

The ability to be cited by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot when users ask questions in your market or field. It's the AI variant of classic SEO, but works fundamentally differently: AI engines generate answers based on structured data and authority signals, not on page rankings.

The percentage of all relevant AI responses in your market in which your brand is mentioned. Xcited measures this daily by firing 100 prompts at five AI engines and counting what share of mentions go to you versus competitors.

According to Gartner, +60% of all searches in 2026 resolve without the user clicking a link — the AI answer suffices. Recent industry research reports up to 216% higher conversion via AI-search versus traditional organic traffic. Those not cited lose access to that traffic stream.

SEO optimizes for Google rankings. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes your content to appear as an answer in AI tools. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) ensures AI engines recognize your brand as a reliable source through authority signals and entity profiles. Xcited combines all three in one platform.

Yes. We work via DNS records, independent of the underlying platform. As long as you can adjust your domain's DNS settings, we can activate. That applies to all common CMS systems (WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Shopify, Drupal) and custom builds.

Add two DNS records in your provider's DNS panel: a CNAME (aztrix.{domain} → name.aztrix.io) and a TXT record (robots.txt → https://aztrix.{domain}). Xcited then automatically handles HTTPS certificates, ai.json discovery, llms.txt manifest, robots.txt, sitemap.xml and .well-known/schema.json. No developer needed.

A knowledge graph describes your business data (services, clients, expertises, cases, regions, people) as entities with relationships between them. AI models can reason over that — not just search. That's the fundamental difference with isolated schema snippets on pages.

Five: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic) and Copilot (Microsoft). We add new engines as they become market-relevant.

Nothing negative. Xcited works complementarily: we optimize for AI engines without affecting your Google SEO. Your rankings stay the same or improve thanks to the structured data we add.

Often yes, but for more focused work. Xcited provides the AI layer that an SEO agency doesn't offer. Agency and xcited work side by side; agency hours are deployed more effectively.
