Synthetic - datacenter IP
No evidence
A one-off API check from a datacenter IP - no real app, no location context, no screenshot. Whatever it returns, you cannot prove it.

Become the AI recommendation in your market.
For competitive local brands, multi-location groups, franchises, and portfolio operators: CitedLogic is the Real-Market AI Ranking Engine that maps how AI ranks your business across each metro, category, competitor, and reputation angle. Then we execute the priority-weighted applied AEO, local SEO, and reputation plan and re-run the same real-device prompts in 14-30 days to prove movement.

Month-one baseline
The baseline maps the market. The AI Ranking Program moves the answer.
The month-one baseline is the operating map: category by category, metro by metro, ranked by what matters most to your revenue goals.
Metro/category map
Where each location ranks across cities, service categories, prompts, engines, and competitors.
Competitor displacement
Who AI recommends instead, why the engine trusts them, and what source signals close the gap.
Reputation weight
Reviews, complaints, safety, hallucinations, stale facts, and review-summary risks scored into the plan.
Execution blueprint
A priority-weighted queue of AEO, local SEO, reputation, source, and citation fixes to re-measure.

The proof
One prompt isn’t evidence.
Asking AI once from a datacenter isn’t what your customer sees. Compare a synthetic check against a real device in the actual market.

The verdict on the right is the engine’s own words, verbatim from a real-device capture - the rank is stamped in the pixels of the file itself.

The baseline becomes the execution plan.
CitedLogic maps your cities, buyer prompts, engines, competitors, and reputation signals, then weights the fixes most likely to move the answer first.

The map is only useful because it ships.
Each row becomes applied work, then the same market prompts are re-run in the first proof window so movement is visible in the capture, not guessed from a dashboard.

The lift, screenshotted
Before. After. Same query, same engine.
Two untouched captures from the same real device, weeks apart. The rank is stamped in the pixels of the capture and verified against the claim before publishing - this is how lift is proven before any optional success terms are discussed.

The before capture is brutal — ChatGPT wrote “ranks last due to no verifiable presence or competitive data…”. Fourteen days later the same engine put them at #2 and explained why. Both verdicts, on the record.

Competitor intelligence
AI names the competitor. Then tells you why.
The baseline does not stop at a ranking. It captures which brands AI seats above you, the reason the engine gives, and the execution lever that can change the answer.
Verified capture patterns
Competitor loss is diagnosable.
In the CitedLogic-allocated proof set, the same captures that verify movement also preserve competitor names and the engine's stated rationale. Public pages show the pattern; client baselines show the exact names.

Example from a public-safe baseline pattern: the target reached the top-3 in 3 of 21 latest answers, while competitors held the other 18. The useful part is not the bar chart. It is the engine's written reason for each loss.
Public-safe, anonymized pattern view - exact competitor lists and prompt-level opportunity maps belong inside the private baseline.

The moat
Powered by real-market captures.
Competitors ping AI from datacenters. We measure from real devices in your markets - the evidence layer that matches what your customer actually sees.
Real devices, real markets
Location-controlled sessions on real phones and desktops in your customers' cities - not datacenter APIs.
Screenshot-backed evidence
Every finding ships with a timestamped screenshot and transcript. Audit-grade proof.
Every engine, every metro
ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity + the Google map pack - measured across all of your locations.
Pixel-verified ranks
Every published before/after passes a gate that reads the rank stamp from the screenshot itself - the pixels must match the claim, or it doesn't ship.
Put your market into the Real-Market AI Ranking Engine.
The baseline shows where each location ranks today, what AI says about your reputation, why competitors are being chosen, which category gaps matter first, and what weighted plan we will re-run in the first 14-30 day proof window.
