Google AI Overviews serve 2.5 billion people a month. Starting this summer, AI agents will conduct your customers' searches for them; no link clicks required. ADAM·CITE measures your full internet presence against the four published pillars AI engines use to decide who to recommend.
If you're not being cited, your competitors are.
Every day a competitor is cited in an AI answer and you're not, a customer's buying decision gets made without you.
Why now
Projected drop in traditional search engine volume by 2026 as buyers shift to AI answers.

People see Google's AI Overviews every month. Many of those answers never send a click to your site.

Traditional SEO tells Google where to rank you. AI citation decides whether ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity mention you at all.
Different problems. Most businesses haven't noticed yet.
The CITE framework
CITE is an acronym for the same four dimensions, scored in the same order, against the same published methodology. Crawlability is fully scored in every audit today; Identity, Trust, and Extractability are rolling out with the v0.2 engine and are marked pending in the report until then. When AI agents search on behalf of your customers, they draw from your domain and from every independent source that mentions your business — reviews, press, forums, directories, community discussions. ADAM·CITE audits both. The four pillars cover the full surface area AI engines evaluate before recommending a brand.
Can AI crawlers reach your site at all? Is the technical foundation in place for extraction?
Why it matters: if AI crawlers can't reach your site, nothing else counts; you're invisible to the model before a word of content is ever read.
Is your entity (the business, brand, people) clearly defined and consistently represented across the web?
Why it matters: if the model can't confidently tell who you are, it won't risk recommending you over a competitor it can identify.
Does your site signal expertise, experience, authority, and trustworthiness in ways AI models reward?
Why it matters: if independent sources don't corroborate your authority, the model trusts the competitor the rest of the web vouches for.
Is your content formatted in ways AI models can parse, quote, and cite?
Why it matters: if your content isn't structured to be quoted, the model can't cite you even when you're the best answer on the page.
How it works
Four stages. Each one delivers a complete artifact. Your on-domain score is the floor. The off-domain audit — who is mentioning you, where, and whether AI agents can find and trust those mentions — is the ceiling. ADAM·CITE measures both. The on-page number is an illustrative preview; the scored report the audit engine produces is real, and the findings are verifiable on your own site — the fix is what the paid tier ships. The customer who stops at any stage receives the full value of that stage.

Citation baseline · Methodology
AI visibility without measurement is a marketing word. Here is the measurement, written down.
LLM responses are not deterministic. The same prompt can produce different responses on different days, on different accounts, in different regions. That is why the one-time reports score what is stable and verifiable — your crawl, schema, and citation-surface posture — and why live engine probing, where we run each query multiple times and report the mean with a confidence band, lives in the managed engagements. We tell you what's signal and what's noise. We do not claim 100% accuracy or zero hallucinations. The score reflects what's fully scored today — Crawlability, with Identity, Trust, and Extractability rolling out in the v0.2 engine — nothing more.
Every audit runs a full crawl, schema, and citation-surface analysis of your domain and your off-domain footprint, scored against the published four-pillar checklist — Crawlability in full today, with Identity, Trust, and Extractability rolling out in the v0.2 engine. The Competitor Citation Scan (Exhibit C) adds 10 unbranded intent queries mapped against the citation surfaces your top five competitors own. The Off-Domain Citation Footprint (Exhibit D) covers four signal tiers — structured citations, community mentions, platform entity corroboration, and earned media — audited manually against a published signal checklist and scored on a 0–100 scale. The intent queries are derived from your actual content topics, keyword profile, and the questions your customers ask. We don't run "is your business good" queries. We run queries you'd actually want to be cited in. Live per-engine probing — re-running those queries directly against ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude and tracking citation deltas month over month — is part of the managed engagements (Remediation Sprint and Digital Growth), not the one-time reports.
A note on the Google AI Overviews shift: As of summer 2025, AI agents are conducting searches autonomously on behalf of users with no link clicks required. The signal set ADAM·CITE audits — on-domain technical readiness, off-domain corroboration signals, competitor citation positioning — is the same signal set those agents evaluate before surfacing a recommendation. The methodology was not built in response to this announcement. It was built to measure what AI engines have always drawn from. The announcement confirms the measurement model.
Honest questions
There's no catch. The Free Domain Audit at the top of this page returns an instant, illustrative preview — a sample score and four-pillar layout right on the page, no email gate and no card. It's a demonstration of the report format, not a live measurement of your site. The Detailed Summary Report is where the real work happens — free, methodology-backed, a specialist reviews it, and we email it as a real PDF, which is why we ask for a contact email at the verified domain. We're not gating the real audit behind a paywall or a sales call — the free tier is genuinely free.
The free Detailed Summary Report shows every finding with its location and severity. You can verify each finding on your own site. The $59 Full Audit Report adds the fix for every finding, the effort estimate, the prioritized action plan, the JSON-LD schema templates, a deployable llms.txt, and the methodology appendix. We charge for the fix, not for the finding. If you'd rather work the backlog yourself, $59 is everything you need. If you want us to do the work, the Sprint or Digital Growth is the next step.
Sprint is for customers who want a finite project: three months, fixed scope from your backlog, fixed price, exit cleanly at month three. Digital Growth is for customers who want a program: ongoing remediation plus two pieces of long-form citable content per month, quarterly audit refresh, ongoing reviewer relationship. If your team will keep producing content after the remediation lands, you probably want the Sprint and you'll take it from there. If you treat AI visibility as ongoing infrastructure and want us writing the content that earns citations, you want Digital Growth. Most customers start with the $59 report and decide later.
LLM responses vary across days, accounts, and regions, which is why the one-time reports score what is stable and verifiable: your crawl, schema, and citation-surface posture, plus the unbranded intent queries in the Competitor Citation Scan. Live per-engine probing belongs to the managed engagements (Sprint and Digital Growth), where we run each query multiple times, report the mean, surface the confidence band, and re-test monthly. The baseline is useful directionally and across time. It is not useful for measuring single-week fluctuations and we say so on every report.
AI engines cite a page when four conditions hold at once. The crawler can reach it (Pillar C: robots.txt, WAF allowlist, sitemap, llms.txt). The entity is clearly identified across the web (Pillar I: Knowledge Graph, NAP consistency, named authors, brand consistency). The authority signals are real and verifiable (Pillar T: backlinks, press, organic discussion, original research). The content is extractable as citable claims rather than marketing prose (Pillar E: schema, FAQ structure, statistic-anchored claims, question-shaped headings). ADAM·CITE measures all four against a published methodology and hands the customer the deployable fix — Crawlability is fully scored today, with Identity, Trust, and Extractability rolling out in the v0.2 engine. The mechanism is the product. The score is the proof.
At Google I/O 2025, Google announced that AI Overviews now serve 2.5 billion users monthly and that AI agents will conduct searches autonomously starting summer 2025, with no link clicks required. Traditional SEO — optimize your page, build domain authority, rank your blog — is now the floor, not the ceiling.
ADAM·CITE was built specifically for this environment. It is the only audit tool that measures your full citation surface: your domain's technical readiness, your brand's off-domain corroboration footprint across the four signal tiers AI agents draw from, and your competitive citation positioning across the surfaces ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude draw from. Every finding is verifiable on your own site or in your own search. A named human reviewer signs every paid engagement. No projected revenue lifts. No outcome promises beyond measurable visibility in AI-generated answers. That is what makes it specifically ADAM·CITE.
No. Your website is one source. AI engines cite and recommend businesses based on information corroborated across multiple independent sources — Reddit threads, YouTube transcripts, Wikidata entries, press mentions, industry directories, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, and review platforms.
The Off-Domain Citation Footprint (Exhibit D) scores your presence across four signal tiers — structured citations in authoritative databases, organic community discussion, platform entity corroboration, and earned media — and arrives with the v0.2 engine. In most audits, the largest citation gap is not on the client's website. It is the absence of independent third-party confirmation that the business exists, is credible, and is what it says it is.
The brands that AI agents recommend are the brands that the entire internet — not just their own homepage — confirms.
Your ADAM·CITE audit measures your own domain and off-domain presence against the four CITE pillars. The Competitor Citation Scan does something different: it runs 10 unbranded intent queries — the questions your buyers actually ask, with no brand names included — and maps the citation surfaces ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude draw from, to identify which of your top five competitors are positioned to be cited instead of you — and exactly why.
Most businesses discover the gap is structural: a competitor owns a citation because they have one FAQ page with proper schema, one Wikidata entity entry, or one authoritative backlink the client does not. The Scan shows the exact gap and the exact fix. A summary of the Scan arrives in the Full Audit Report as Exhibit C with the v0.2 engine; the full standalone Scan is available today as the $149 add-on to any paid engagement.
The audit is built for general web presence health and works for most B2B, DTC, educational, and professional services businesses with a substantive web property. Regulated industries (healthcare, legal, financial services, defense) have additional citation patterns and compliance considerations we address in the Digital Growth with a named reviewer and a BAA where applicable.
$59 report refunds: if the report doesn't deliver what's promised, email us within seven days and we refund without argument. Sprint cancellation: cancel anytime mid-engagement; pay only for completed months. Retainer cancellation: month-to-month, cancel anytime. Re-audits: you can re-run the free audit anytime. The paid report is a one-time purchase per audit. Ongoing audits live in the Sprint and Retainer tiers.
