WriteCited is an AEO content generator that creates articles optimized for AI citations. It calculates an AEO Score (0-100) for every article before you publish, measuring how likely your content is to be cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Unlike standard AI writing tools, WriteCited is built specifically for citation-readiness - generating answer-first structure, entity-rich language, and complete schema markup automatically.

What is an AEO Score?

An AEO Score is a 0-100 rating that measures how likely your content is to be cited by AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. It analyzes five factors: direct answer presence, entity definition clarity, structural quality, schema markup completeness, and entity-rich language. A score above 75 indicates strong citation potential. WriteCited calculates your AEO Score in real time as you write.

How is WriteCited different from ChatGPT or other AI writers?

Standard AI writing tools like ChatGPT generate content optimized for readability. WriteCited generates content optimized for AI citations. Every article WriteCited produces includes an AEO Score, automatic FAQPage and Article schema markup, answer-first opening structure, and entity-rich language that AI models prefer to cite. ChatGPT writes content. WriteCited writes content that gets cited by ChatGPT.

What does the Pro plan include?

The WriteCited Pro plan includes 50 articles per month with AEO scoring, automatic schema markup generation (Article, FAQPage, HowTo, BreadcrumbList), complete head code output for every article, and full access to all future features. The Pro plan is currently $49/month as a launch price (regular price $99/month). A 3-day free trial is included with every new account.

How quickly can I see results from AEO-optimized content?

AEO-optimized content typically starts appearing in AI citations within 2-8 weeks of publishing, significantly faster than traditional SEO which takes 3-6 months. The timeline depends on how quickly GPTBot and ClaudeBot crawl your content, your domain authority, and how competitive your topic area is. New domains can still get cited by ChatGPT within weeks if the content scores 75+ on the AEO Score.

Indexing Your Content

How to submit your content to Google, Bing, and ensure AI crawlers can find and index every page you publish.

Publishing a page does not guarantee it gets indexed. Indexing is the act of submitting your content to search engines and AI crawlers so they know it exists. Without it, even a perfect AEO Score article will not be cited.

Step 1 — Set up Google Search Console

1.Go to search.google.com/search-console and sign in.
2.Click 'Add property' and choose Domain (not URL prefix). Domain covers all versions of your site including www, non-www, http, and https.
3.Enter your domain without https:// — example: writecited.com
4.Google will provide a TXT record. Add it to your DNS provider (Vercel, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, etc.) as a TXT record with Name: @ and Value: the verification code.
5.Return to GSC and click Verify.

Step 2 — Submit your sitemap

In GSC, go to Indexing > Sitemaps in the left sidebar. Enter your sitemap URL: yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Click Send. Google will process the sitemap within 24–48 hours.

Note: Most modern frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, Astro) generate a sitemap automatically. Verify yours exists by visiting yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml in your browser before submitting.

Step 3 — Request indexing for new pages

For every new page you publish — including every new blog post — manually request indexing: Go to GSC and click the search bar at the top. Paste the full URL of the new page. Click 'Request Indexing'. This adds the page to Google's priority crawl queue. Google indexes manually requested pages within hours rather than days. This step takes 30 seconds per page.

Step 4 — Submit to Bing Webmaster Tools

Go to bing.com/webmasters and sign in with a Microsoft account. Add your site and verify ownership (same DNS TXT method as Google). Go to Sitemaps and submit yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Bing powers DuckDuckGo search and several AI tools. Submitting here takes 5 minutes and covers additional citation surfaces.

Indexing timeline

Source	Timeline
Google (manually requested)	Hours to 24 hours
Google (sitemap only)	24–72 hours for new domains
Bing	24–48 hours after sitemap submission
ChatGPT / GPTBot	1–2 weeks after Google indexes the page
Perplexity	1–2 weeks after Google indexes the page
Claude / ClaudeBot	Varies — typically 2–4 weeks

Verifying crawl access

Visit yourdomain.com/robots.txt in your browser. Confirm none of the following are blocked:

•GPTBot
•OAI-SearchBot
•ClaudeBot
•PerplexityBot
•GoogleOther
