# Citorum

> Be the answer, not the runner-up.

**Direct Answer:** Citorum is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform. It monitors how often your brand is cited, recommended, and quoted by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, and gives your marketing team a daily, source-attributed read on the channel that is replacing organic search.

## The new search surface

Search used to be a list of links you scrolled. Now it is a paragraph that decides for you. When a buyer asks ChatGPT for "the best CRM for a 12-person startup," the model returns one paragraph and three names. If your brand is in those three names, you grow. If you are not, you do not — and you may never know why.

Citorum is built for marketing teams who refuse to fly blind into the channel quietly replacing Google. The link era was about ranking. The answer era is about being quoted.

## What Citorum does

- Listens, every day, to what every major AI engine says about your brand, your competitors, and the questions your buyers actually ask.
- Turns that into one number you can put on a slide (the Citorum GEO Index), one feed you can read with coffee, and one short list of moves likely to change tomorrow's answer.
- Never promises rankings. Answer engines are not a leaderboard; they are a conversation, and conversations move.

## The engines we track

- **ChatGPT** — OpenAI's search index and model.
- **Perplexity** — the pure answer engine.
- **Gemini** — Google's native model.
- **Claude** — Anthropic's analytical model.
- **Copilot** — Microsoft's enterprise layer.
- **Google AI Overviews** — Google's search integration.

Each engine is queried independently every day, so you can see per-engine wins and losses for the same buyer prompt.

## How a Citorum week looks

1. **Monday morning.** Open the dashboard. The Citorum GEO Index is up two points; one engine moved. The feed shows the prompt that flipped and the upstream source that won.
2. **Tuesday.** Editorial ships a new direct-answer paragraph in the page Citorum flagged. Recommendation rate moves on Perplexity within hours.
3. **Wednesday.** The competitor's announcement gets cited by Claude. Citorum surfaces the press release sentence the model is leaning on.
4. **Friday.** The Monday-morning report is one number, three movements, three recommended edits.

## Why editorial-grade

Citorum is built like an editorial product because answer engines read like editors. Direct answers in the first 70 words. Sourced claims, not adjective stacks. Schema where it earns the model's attention. The site you are reading is itself a worked example.

## What we do not promise

- We do not promise a position. There is no position in an answer.
- We do not promise a citation. We promise to tell you why one happened or did not.
- We do not promise that the engines will behave honestly tomorrow. We promise to measure them every day.
