Grounded by default, not an upsell

Content built to rank and get cited. Nothing publishes until you approve it.

Citevine writes grounded articles, built to rank in Google and get cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, on autopilot.

Factual grounding is a hard gate: a price or opening time the draft invented blocks the post, whatever it scored.

How grounding works

How every claim earns its place

Every AI-written article must clear grounding before it can publish, and there is no setting to turn that off. An article you write and paste in yourself skips that check: it is your own attested content, queued for review just like an AI draft.

Evidence pack first

Before a sentence is written, Citevine assembles an evidence pack from authoritative web sources, your first-party facts, and connected data. The article is built from this pack, not from model memory.

Claims sourced by ID

The model writes prose only. Every citation and answer block is assembled straight from the evidence pack by source ID, so a citation cannot point at a source that does not exist.

The hard gate

An article that states a price or an opening time your evidence does not contain, or whose answer block does not resolve to a real evidence id, is held on the spot, whatever its SEO or AEO score. Grounding is never traded for a higher score.

One retry, then a human

A rejected draft is regenerated at most once. If it fails again, it is held for manual review instead of looping. Nothing reaches your site until you approve it, and paid generation stays capped.

Features

Everything it takes to rank and get cited

Grounding is the floor, not the ceiling. Every article is also built to compound.

Factual grounding gate

Every draft passes a hard factual-grounding check before it can publish: a price or opening time that is not in your evidence pack holds the post. Grounding is read before any score, so a strong score can never buy a failing draft through.

Answer-engine optimization

Every article is scored for AEO and GEO, so it carries the structure and citation signals that answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews look for, plus the on-page structure Google search rewards. Those engines decide what they cite and rank; Citevine builds for the signals, not a guarantee.

Evidence to draft to publish

Connect your site once. Citevine builds each draft from your business’s own evidence, then queues it for approval, running quietly in the background.

GA4 + Search Console feedback loop

Once Search Console and Analytics are connected, ranking and AI-referral signals flow back automatically, so the next topic picked is the one most likely to compound your organic traffic.

Brand voice controls

Set your brand voice once — do’s, don’ts, sample phrasing, reading level — and every article follows it, so nothing sounds like generic AI.

Competitor research & positioning

See where competitors are winning and where the content gaps are, so every article targets a keyword gap worth pursuing.

Grounded vs. typical AI content

The difference is what happens before publish

Most AI writers generate, then hope. Citevine gates the draft, then holds it for your approval.

Typical AI content
Citevine
Where the facts come from
Facts are pulled from model memory that can drift.
Every citation and answer block is built from the evidence pack, not from model memory.
When a source is missing
The gap is filled with a plausible-sounding guess.
The article is blocked and held, because a missing source is a hard fail.
Before it goes live
Published on generation, with review left to you.
Every grounded article waits for human approval by default, and auto-approval re-checks grounding and scores first.
Ranking and citations
Optimization is a separate step, if it happens.
Grounded articles are scored 0 to 100 for SEO structure, answer-engine format, and citation depth, with thresholds you set.
Cost control
Regenerate until it looks right.
One retry, then hold for review, under daily and monthly caps that cannot be bypassed.
How it works

From connected site to ranked article

Four steps. No prompts to babysit, no drafts to chase.

Connect your site

Link your CMS and analytics: WordPress, Pressable, Shopify, Ghost, Webflow, Wix, or your custom site via a signed webhook.

Grounded evidence + drafting

Citevine gathers evidence from your business and drafts an article whose citations and answer block are assembled from that evidence, not written by the model.

Gate scores & human review

Every draft is scored for grounding and SEO + AEO + GEO, then a human editor reviews it before it ships.

Publish + track rankings

One click publishes to your CMS, then Citevine tracks rankings and AI-driven traffic via GA4 and Search Console.

Who it’s for

Built for teams that cannot afford a hallucination

When a wrong claim in your name carries real consequences, grounding stops being a nice-to-have.

Regulated and YMYL brands

Health, finance, and legal content where an invented price or opening time is a real liability. The gate blocks it on the spot, and nothing reaches a published page until you approve it.

High-trust brands

Companies whose reputation rides on being accurate. Citations are assembled from the evidence pack by source id, never written by the model, and manual review is the default before anything ships.

Agencies reselling content

Publish under a client’s name with idempotent delivery to WordPress, Ghost, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, and custom webhooks. No duplicates, and each account’s data stays separate by design.

Pricing is quoted per business

What you pay depends on how much you publish, how many markets you cover and how much of the work your team already does. Tell us what you need and we will put a number to it — usually the same day.

Every plan includes the factual-grounding gate: an invented price or opening time blocks publish, on any tier.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

What the grounding gate does, and what it does not.

Does Citevine guarantee my content is 100% factually accurate?

No, and we will not claim it. The gate blocks two specific failures: a price or opening time the draft states that your evidence does not contain, and an answer block whose source id does not resolve to a real claim in the pack. Ordinary prose beyond that is not machine-checked, which is why every draft is held for you to read before it can publish, and why the quality of your evidence still matters.

Will this get my content cited by ChatGPT or shown in AI Overviews?

It is built for that outcome and scored for it, but no tool can promise it. Answer engines decide what they cite. Citevine writes high-quality, branded content for your website designed to grow your organic and AI-answer visibility over time, and structures each article for answer-engine and citation signals, and can publish an llms.txt file for discovery. That file is a best-effort signal that LLMs are free to ignore, not a guarantee of ingestion.

Do I still need a human to review articles?

Manual review is the default: every grounded article waits for you to approve, reject, or request a rewrite before it schedules. You can turn on auto-approval per site, which re-checks grounding and scores before scheduling. Grounding is never skipped in either mode.

Where does Citevine publish, and will it create duplicates?

It publishes to WordPress, Ghost, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, hosted Citevine sites, and custom webhooks. Each publish is idempotent by external ID or slug, so a retry never creates a duplicate, and the live URL is reconciled back into the article after go-live.

How do you stop AI costs from running away?

Every AI feature has a daily cap by type, and your organization has a monthly cost ceiling that acts as a hard stop. A failed draft regenerates at most once, then holds for review instead of looping. There are no unbounded generate loops.

Is my data separated from other customers?

Yes. Every article, brief, decision, and performance record is owned by exactly one tenant and filtered by tenant at the data layer. A user signed into one account cannot read or write another account’s data.
