Canada-based agency positions itself as a strategic partner for companies seeking stronger discoverability across AI search and large language model ecosystems

Toronto, Canada, April 9, 2026 — Cited, a Canada-based GEO-first and AI SEO agency, today announced an expanded effort to help enterprise and growth-stage brands improve visibility in large language model ecosystems and next-generation AI search experiences. As businesses adapt to a rapidly changing discovery landscape, Cited is positioning its services around a new communications and search reality, one where brands must be understood not only by traditional search engines, but also by AI systems that summarize, recommend, and cite information for users.

According to the company’s About page, Cited focuses on helping Canada-based and global firms strengthen LLM visibility, while combining AI-driven marketing strategy with industry-specific execution. The company says it has worked with more than 20 leading brands across more than 20 industries, including education, automotive, catering, home furnishings, finance, and securities, while also highlighting sectors such as public affairs and politics, life sciences and pharma, AEC and real estate, fintech and digital assets, professional services, and energy.

Cited describes its approach as GEO-first, with an emphasis on helping brands adapt to how information is surfaced inside AI tools and answer engines. The company also states that its core team includes graduates of institutions such as CEIBS, Tsinghua University’s School of Finance, and Fudan University, blending international perspective with local market understanding.

As AI-native discovery becomes more important for both brand reputation and customer acquisition, Cited aims to help clients build authority, improve structured visibility, and shape how their expertise appears across AI-powered workflows. The company frames its long-term vision around deeper investment in AI technology, innovation in AI-driven marketing models, and using technology to help brands break through growth ceilings and compete more effectively in changing markets.

Our view is that search is no longer limited to the classic ten blue links, said a Cited spokesperson. Brands now need to be visible wherever decision-making happens, including in AI-generated answers, model-driven recommendations, and conversational search environments. Cited is building strategies for that new reality.

With enterprises increasingly looking for measurable ways to improve visibility in AI ecosystems, Cited’s expansion reflects a broader market shift toward GEO, AI SEO, and answer-engine optimization. The company plans to continue supporting organizations that want a stronger presence in both conventional search and the emerging layer of AI-mediated discovery.
