CitedLift is a Search & AI Visibility agency. We help B2B and ecommerce companies get found and recommended across AI assistants, Google Search, Maps and Shopping, and build the web foundation that supports it.
77 companies drawn from the public ESA BIC Noordwijk incubatee and alumni listings. 231 buyer-style AI searches across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. In 79.7% of answers, the target company for the buyer-style prompt wasn't surfaced. 49 of 77 were never surfaced by any engine.
Read the independent studyEnter your niche and country, choose an AI engine, and see how a real buyer journey unfolds across awareness, consideration, and conversion stages.
Discovery without trust is replaceable. Trust without discovery is invisible. Both must work — or the shortlist forms without you.
Buyers ask AI assistants to compare vendors, summarise categories, and surface alternatives — long before they visit a single website. If your brand is missing from those answers, the decision is shaped without you.
37% of marketers say competitors are mentioned more often than their brand in AI answers; 30% say their brand is described inaccurately. Semrush, survey of 481 marketers, June 2026
Find Out Where You StandBuyers move between AI assistants, search results, Maps, product listings and your website before they ever contact you. We work across that whole path, with AI visibility at the centre.
Be named, cited and recommended in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI features when buyers describe their problem.
How AI visibility worksSEO, technical readiness, content and structured data that strengthen the foundation search and AI discovery rely on.
Google Business Profile, Maps, reviews and your local search footprint.
Merchant Center feeds, product data and product schema, so your products can show up in Google Shopping and AI answers.
Websites, landing pages and migrations, when the site is what stops you being found or chosen.
Website packagesPaid search: Google Ads is available as a separately scoped service.
What we don't do: social media management, Meta campaigns, email marketing or outbound LinkedIn lead generation.
Every engagement starts with Foundation: research, measurement and a prioritised plan your team or ours can execute.
More markets, languages or tracks are scoped on top.
External placement budget (publications, listings) is billed separately at cost, with zero markup: typically €500-2,000 a month, depending on the category. We agree it with you before anything is spent.
Book a callGoogle Ads and website projects are quoted separately.
We test 10 buyer prompts in your category and send a short snapshot showing where you appear and where competitors take the space.
Market, demand, proof, narrative and technical readiness: researched, measured and turned into a prioritised roadmap.
Hand the roadmap to your team, or let us execute the tracks agreed in your Growth scope.
Monthly CitedLift dashboards show visibility movement across AI engines. We tune the plan as buyer behaviour and AI models shift.
Strategy, measurement and every review stay with the founder. Writers, schema, ads and outreach specialists join when the roadmap calls for them, not to fill a team slide.
We don't run the same category strategy for two direct competitors in the same market.
We track who AI recommends, for which buyer questions, and from which sources, with our in-house tooling.
Nothing ships without your sign-off.
Multi-language and multi-market coverage tuned to European B2B and ecommerce realities.
Work with senior strategists, not junior account managers. No layered handoffs, no agency theatre.
No agency theatre, no layered handoffs. CitedLift is run by the founder, supported by a vetted EU specialist bench.
15+ years in B2B marketing, PPC, ecommerce and SaaS growth across the EU. Background in aerospace engineering and finance: I think in systems, signals and commercial outcomes, not opinions.
CitedLift is what I built when I realised hundreds of strong European companies are simply invisible to AI, even when their products, teams and revenue are real.
Strategy and every review stay with me in the Netherlands; specialists join where the roadmap needs them. I'm a member of the SBIC Noordwijk community on the NL Space Campus, where I ran an independent study of how AI engines surface companies from the ESA BIC Noordwijk listings.
