Why Citewise exists.

In 2025, buyers of professional services quietly changed how they choose. They stopped starting with ten blue links and started asking an assistant a question — and acting on the three names in the answer. Most firms have no idea what those answers say about them.

Who built this

Citewise was built by a practitioner with a background in investor relations and corporate development in capital markets — took a deep-tech company public end to end and raised over $50M across financings — followed by operating work in the San Francisco AI ecosystem, where the tooling for AI-search visibility was being built for enterprises at enterprise prices.

The observation behind Citewise was simple: advisory firms, practices and boutiques were asking the same question the Fortune 500 was asking ("does AI recommend us?"), but the honest answer required either a $12k/yr dashboard or an agency retainer. A measured diagnostic with the fixes attached — priced like the report it is — didn't exist. Now it does.

Doing your own diligence before you buy? That's the right instinct, and we've built the site so you don't have to take a bio on faith. The registered company details and the payment processor (Stripe) are named in the privacy policy and terms; the methodology is published end to end; and every report ships the raw engine answers so you can re-run any claim yourself. When you order, you deal directly with the operator — the same person answers inha.journey@gmail.com and runs your readout call, not a rotating support queue.

Commitments we're structurally held to

You see data before money. The free scan runs 2 of your prospects' real questions through the engines and emails you the exact answers — no payment. We accept the cost because informed buyers refund less and refer more.
Raw answers in every report. All 48 engine answers ship verbatim. Any claim we make, you can verify by re-asking the engine yourself.
Published methodology. The entire pipeline is documented, including its limitations. Scores are computed by rules, never by opinion.
Mechanical refunds. Late report or factual errors → reply "refund" → processed within one business day. No retention flow, no "let me connect you with a specialist."
We tell you not to buy. If your free scan shows the engines already naming you consistently, we say so and tell you not to buy the diagnostic.
No dark patterns. Cancel the Monitor anytime from a link in every monthly email. Unsubscribe is one click. We don't sell data and we don't run ads.

What we are not

We are not an SEO agency, we don't do "guaranteed rankings," and we don't post reviews or testimonials on anyone's behalf — that would be both dishonest and, for our regulated clients, a compliance violation. We measure, we prescribe, we ship the assets, and we re-measure.
