Cited. The audit engine.

Cited asks AI engines the questions your buyers ask — then shows you who gets named, who gets cited, and who's invisible. Every Bnarrativ audit runs on it. Agencies put their brand on it.

What it is

Cited is Bnarrativ's AI visibility audit engine. It runs real buyer questions through live AI engines and reports mention rate, citation rate, share of voice, the actual answer excerpts, and a technical AI-readiness grade — in about sixty seconds, free to start.

Across your buyer questions, how often does AI name you at all?

Agencies deliver Cited reports under their own brand — the partnership program. Your logo on the report, Cited under the hood.

04

Honest limits

The instant tool measures via Perplexity — the most citation-transparent engine — and is labeled as such; multi-engine measurement is part of the full workflow. The readiness scan is on-page: it grades what makes you citeable, it can't measure backlinks or authority. And Cited never fabricates a number for a real domain — if a check can't run, it says so. These limits are printed in the reports, because you'll be showing them to clients.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cited?

Cited is Bnarrativ's AI visibility audit engine. It asks live AI engines the questions real buyers ask, then reports which businesses each answer names, which websites it cites, how often, and how technically ready a site is to be cited — in about sixty seconds.

What does Cited measure?

Four things: mention rate (how often AI names a business across buyer questions), citation rate (how often its website is a cited source), share of voice (which competitors AI names instead), and AI readiness (a technical grade of structured data, FAQ structure, titles, canonicals, sitemap, and related on-page factors).

Can agencies white-label Cited?

Yes — that's the primary model. Agencies deliver Cited audit reports and monthly monitoring under their own brand; Bnarrativ runs the engine in the back office.

Does Cited fabricate results?

Never. Every number comes from a live run. The instant tool measures via Perplexity, the most citation-transparent engine, and is labeled as such; multi-engine measurement is part of the full paid workflow. If a check cannot run, it says so.
