When should I start a retainer?
After your build is live, or any time you already have a site you want kept current. The work starts in the first month of your subscription.
Engines change how they read sites, your programs change, and new customer questions appear every month. Pick the level of upkeep you want and start today — month to month, cancel any time.
A website is built once. The engines that read it change every few months. The retainer keeps you named while the technology moves.
The engines keep changing
Blue links, then citations, now interactive widgets — each shift changes what an assistant reads. We adjust your site as each one rolls out.
Widgets need fresh data
Interactive answers pull live prices, terms and offers. Stale structured data gets skipped, so we keep it current with your business.
Customers ask new questions
Every month new questions appear in your market. Each unanswered one is an answer slot a competitor can claim.
Proof has to be re-checked
We re-test whether assistants still name you and repair anything that slipped before it costs you customers.
Stop the retainer and your site keeps working — it just stops keeping up.

Three different technologies
ChatGPT has started showing interactive answers to every user. Each generation reads your business differently — a site built for one is often invisible to the next. CHATGPTCITED builds for the citation era and structures your data so it is ready for interactive widgets.
Watch: the executable web, explained →1998 – 2023
The blue link
Keyword search
The engine matches keywords and returns ten links. The customer leaves to dig through ads and landing pages.
What it reads: Keywords, backlinks, page speed.
2023 – now
The GEO citation
AI answer engines
A language model writes one answer and names the source it trusts. You are either quoted or absent.
What it reads: Direct answers, clean entity data, schema that matches the page.
2026 onward
The interactive widget
Generative interface
ChatGPT now builds live cards, tables and tools inside the answer. The business whose data fills them gets the customer.
What it reads: Structured, machine-readable facts: prices, terms, hours, offers — kept current.
After your build is live, or any time you already have a site you want kept current. The work starts in the first month of your subscription.
Yes. Tell us which plan you want and we move you at the start of the next month.
Tell us before the next month starts, or cancel from the receipt email. Your site keeps working — it simply stops gaining new answers.
