Citation Labs helps enterprise SEO teams win visibility in search and AI answers. We build links to money pages at scale, create assets that publishers cite, and share reporting that leadership trusts.
Enterprise SEO leaders hire us when they need authority that shows up in two places at once: rankings and the source sets AI systems pull from when buyers ask “best X,” “compare Y vs Z,” or “who should I trust.”
We build the pages and third-party references that both search engines and AI answers reuse.
- Authority to money pages. We earn high-relevance links to product, category, and solution pages using targeting and placement criteria that align with brand guidelines.
- Citation-worthy assets. We provide content consulting and creation for teams, creating assets that are easy for AI systems to extract, increasing the likelihood of citations and mentions in AI answers.
- Reporting CMOs Love. We start with your baseline, then track impact in both SERP results and AI tools using proprietary tools designed for businesses in high-volume, competitive spaces.
We run the program end-to-end, from targeting and outreach through editorial QA and iteration, so your team can stay focused on prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and shipping improvements while we compound authority across search and AI answers.
