Five days after CiteHQ.io went live, we searched our own name on Google.

We weren't testing anything. We were just curious what was out there so far. This is what came back.

Google AI Overview result for a search of 'citehq.io', showing an accurate summary of the company alongside a knowledge panel citing LinkedIn and Clutch as sources.
Google AI Overview, search query: "citehq.io" · captured August 14, 2026

Google's AI Overview correctly described our founding, our AEO/GEO focus, our bilingual positioning, and the six AI platforms we track citation share across. None of it came from anything we submitted directly to Google — it was built from the schema and structure already in place on the site.

The panel alongside it pulled in our LinkedIn and Clutch listings as source entities — the early groundwork for the kind of independent, third-party recognition we're building toward.

Why this matters

This is the exact outcome we build for clients: not ranking on a page, but being the answer. Seeing it happen to our own brand, five days after launch and without any paid placement, is the clearest proof we could ask for that the underlying mechanics work.

We'll keep sharing moments like this as they happen — the real ones, not just the wins. That's the whole point of this page.
