AI Content Hub / Use Cases

How each kind of business uses Citable, described by what the platform does, not by results.

Citable is the campaign management platform for D2C brands winning AI-assisted shoppers. Plan campaigns around the questions AI answers, see where it recommends competitors instead of you, and track AI-referred orders.

The same loop serves every segment below: plan the tracked questions, see the answers and citations, act on the gaps with reviewable work, and track AI-referred visits and orders.

D2C and e-commerce brands (deepest integration)

A shopper asks ChatGPT for the best orthopedic dog bed under a budget. The assistant compares a few brands, weighs reviews and return policies, and recommends a shortlist. The brand sees the order, or the lost sale, but not the comparison.

What Citable does here:

• Runs a tracked set of questions modeled on the brand's buyer personas, grouped by persona and country, across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overview (by plan).
• Shows which brands the assistants recommend for each question, where the brand ranks, and which sources they cite.
• Turns gaps into a review queue: content briefs, drafts scored before publishing, and product-page changes prepared for the brand's approval, one at a time.
• Puts AI-referred visits (Google Analytics) and AI-referred orders (Shopify) next to the fixes.

Getting started: connect the domain, choose buyer personas and competitors, and run the first scan as the baseline.

Marketplaces and multi-SKU sellers

For a seller with many products, assistants answer category by category. "Best commuter e-scooter" and "where to buy an e-scooter in Germany" are separate questions, answered from different sources, often naming different sellers.

What Citable does here:

• Tracks questions per topic and per country, including the where-to-buy questions that decide whether the marketplace itself is recommended, not only the products it sells.
• Shows which topics the seller appears in, which it is missing from, and which competitors the assistants name instead.
• Lets the team work on the topics with the largest gaps first.

Agencies and consultants serving merchants

An agency adds AI-search work because clients ask for it. A report of mentions is hard to renew on its own; clients want to see work shipped and its connection to orders.

What Citable does here:

• Each client is tracked as its own brand, with its own personas, questions and competitors.
• The agency reviews and edits drafts in the client's voice before anything ships.
• Re-scans after the work ships show what changed in the answers, with AI-referred visits and orders alongside.

Division of work: Citable runs the scans, gap analysis, drafts and tracking; the agency owns strategy and the client relationship. For several clients, talk to us about Scale (custom).

Other brands whose buyers research with AI

The same tracking works for any brand whose buyers ask an assistant to compare options before they choose. AI-referred order tracking is specific to Shopify; AI-referred visit tracking through Google Analytics works for any site.

A note on what Citable reports

An AI-referred order shows where a buyer came from, not that the AI answer caused the sale. Citable reports what it can measure and makes no lift claims it hasn't measured.
