# Use cases

**Direct Answer:** Citorum is used by B2B SaaS marketing teams measuring share of voice in AI answers, DTC brands defending recommendation rate, PR and comms teams catching narrative drift inside model outputs, and GEO/SEO agencies building a defensible reporting layer for clients.

## B2B SaaS marketing teams

Track every prompt your buyers actually ask before they hit a sales call. Watch competitors get recommended in real time. Know which content asset moved which model.

The job-to-be-done: when a prospect asks ChatGPT for "best [your category] for [their context]," Citorum tells you whether you appeared, where in the paragraph, and what upstream source the model leaned on. The follow-up edit is a sentence in your docs or a citation on G2 — not a campaign.

## DTC brands

Monitor recommendation rate inside answer engines, defend brand sentiment, and find the prompt-shaped gaps you should fill with editorial content.

When a shopper asks Perplexity for "the most sustainable [category] under $200," the answer might cite a competitor's press release from 2023. Citorum surfaces the gap and the source — your editorial team writes the sourced claim that wins the next refresh.

## PR & comms teams

Catch narrative drift in model outputs early, before a misquote becomes the consensus answer. Attribute the source the model is leaning on.

Models compress. They summarize. They occasionally invent. Citorum is the early-warning system that tells you the moment a model started repeating an inaccurate framing about your company, with the upstream source it traces back to, so corrections happen before the framing becomes load-bearing.

## Enterprise category leaders

Defend a brand that already owns the category from quiet erosion. Citorum surfaces the moment a challenger starts getting cited, the source the model picked it up from, and the editorial response that puts you back in the paragraph.

A category leader's risk is not a frontal assault — it is the slow accumulation of "alternatives to" answers that name a challenger as the safe second choice. Citorum makes that accumulation visible the week it starts, with the upstream sources driving it, so the editorial team can move before the framing hardens.

## GEO / SEO agencies

A reporting layer that gives clients a number and a story every Monday. White-label dashboards and shared workspaces.

For agencies, Citorum is the artifact that makes a GEO retainer monthly-renewable. The Citorum GEO Index moves; the feed explains the why; the recommendations are the work. The number you put on the slide is the number you put on the slide every week.

## Common to all four

- One number on a slide every Monday.
- One feed of what changed, with the source the model is leaning on.
- One short list of recommended edits, prioritized by likely engine impact.
- No promises about rank, citation, or recommendation. Just the measurement, every day.

## Frequently asked questions

**Who is Citorum built for?**
B2B SaaS marketing teams, DTC brand marketing, PR and comms teams, GEO and SEO agencies, and enterprise category leaders. The common job is measuring brand presence inside AI-generated answers and acting on the upstream source the model leaned on.

**Does Citorum work for non-English markets?**
Yes. Each engine is queried in the languages and geographies it supports, and the daily fan-out is configurable per market. Per-language reporting is available where the engine emits language-tagged answers.

Yes. The agency mode includes white-label dashboards and shared workspaces so you can put a single number on a slide for every client every Monday with your own branding.

**Can multiple teammates share a workspace?**
Yes. Workspaces support multiple seats, role-based permissions, and shared prompt sets across the marketing, editorial, and analytics teams.

**Does Citorum suit a single-brand DTC team?**
Yes. The same daily fan-out, sentiment tracking, and upstream-source attribution work for a single-brand DTC merchant tracking recommendation rate inside answer engines for category prompts.
