CiteFlow is a GEO/AEO scanner — Generative Engine Optimization and Answer Engine Optimization — that shows how AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews find, understand, and cite your website. You enter a URL and get an AI visibility score (0–100) in about 30 seconds, with the specific issues that keep your brand from being surfaced and quoted by AI. The first scan is free — no credit card required.
What CiteFlow does
Traditional SEO optimizes for the ten blue links. CiteFlow optimizes for the answer — the single response an AI engine gives a user. We scan your site across seven dimensions and turn the gaps into fixes you can ship:
- Technical infrastructure — crawlability, indexability, and render output that AI crawlers actually read.
- AI crawler access — whether answer-time bots like Googlebot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, and Claude can reach your pages. Our scan engine (CiteFlow-GEO-Scanner) checks 15+ crawlers.
- Schema markup — the structured data AI uses to identify your brand as an entity (12+ schema types detected).
- Citability — how quotable and extractable your content is for an AI answer.
- Platform optimization — readiness for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Bing Copilot.
- Content quality (E-E-A-T) — experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.
- Off-page brand mentions — third-party signals across YouTube, Reddit, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, and GitHub that AI relies on to recognize and trust your brand.
Free tools
CiteFlow offers three free, standalone scan tools — no account required to start:
- Free GEO Scan — Generative Engine Optimization check.
- Free AEO Scan — Answer Engine Optimization check.
- Free LLMs Scan — LLM crawlability and llms.txt analysis.
Paid plans and automated fixes
The Standard plan costs $99/month (or $831/year) and includes up to 3 website URL slots, 15 rescans per day with before/after comparison, and Visibility executive reports. URL slots and report credits are lifetime — they stay yours even if you cancel.
Standard subscribers can turn scan findings into automated GitHub pull requests, so the fixes land directly in your codebase instead of a PDF report.
For developers
CiteFlow exposes a REST Partner API with official SDKs for Node.js and Python, so teams can integrate AI visibility scans into their CI/CD pipelines or internal dashboards.

CiteFlow is built by Truong Giang Nguyen, Founder & Lead Engineer, who works end-to-end across software engineering, technical SEO, and marketing for AI search visibility. CiteFlow is a product of CVTOT, a software development company.
Who uses CiteFlow
Developers, marketing teams, SEO agencies, SaaS companies, and business owners who want to understand and improve how AI search engines cite their websites.
Our mission
AI-powered search is replacing the ten blue links. Most brands are invisible to it — not because their content is bad, but because traditional SEO does not address how AI engines select and cite sources. CiteFlow makes AI visibility measurable and fixable: scan, see the gaps, ship the changes.
