Cited Layer

Cited Layer is the independent consultancy of Alex Maksymenko, working on AI
search visibility — also called GEO or AEO. The work is measurement-first: a
fixed set of the client's own buyer questions, three runs each across ChatGPT
and Perplexity in one fixed mode, sixty recorded answers, then the same
measurement repeated after implementation.

What gets reported is the share of answers naming the brand, the competitors
named instead, and the exact domains the engines cite in that category —
which differs sharply between categories and has to be measured rather than
assumed.

No position or ranking is ever promised: the same question asked in the same
minute on two accounts can return a shortlist to one and none to the other.
That is measured and published, along with the runs that produced nothing.

Services: category check (free), visibility audit ($400), audit and first
sprint ($1,800), full deployment ($6,500).
