About

The method came first. Cited points it at your business.

Cited is run by Joe Balewski, operating as Whitley Row LLC. The measurement behind it started as a benchmark of roughly 11,000 AI citations analyzed across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — a study of who the engines actually cite, and why. This is that same instrument, turned toward your market.

Why a named human is the whole point

The category is full of automation that removes the person on purpose — robots that publish with no drafts to approve, dashboards that email you a score. Cited is built the other way. A named, accountable person runs your measurement, writes the fixes, and stands behind the guarantee, and you approve every change before it touches your site. The technology in this space commoditizes in months. What doesn't is a human you can call who put their name on the work.

Where the method comes from

The approach didn't start as a service. It started as a research question — when AI engines recommend a business, whose sources are they actually pulling from? — answered by analyzing thousands of real citations across the major engines. That benchmark became the audit: the same panels, the same per-engine scoring, the same evidence discipline, now run for one business at a time. We practice what we sell, starting with this site, which is built to be cited the way we build yours to be.
