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.

robots.txt for AI Crawlers

The exact robots.txt configuration to allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and other AI crawlers to index your content.

Your robots.txt controls which crawlers can access your site. Most robots.txt files were written before AI crawlers existed. If yours is more than 2 years old, there is a high probability it is accidentally blocking the crawlers that determine AI citations.
