AI search optimization in Houston
Cited is a Houston-based AI search optimization agency. Every night we ask ChatGPT and Perplexity what Houstonians ask them, such as "best med spa for Botox in the Heights" or "best cosmetic dentist for veneers near Greenway Plaza", and log who gets named. We use that data to help Houston businesses become one of the names.
Why Houston answers are neighborhood answers
Houston is too big for "best in Houston" to be useful, and AI assistants know it. Customers ask about the Heights, Rice Village, Memorial, the Energy Corridor, Pearland or Tomball, and the engines answer with a short list for that area. A business can be well known citywide and still be missing from the answer for its own neighborhood.

Single unpersonalized sessions. Answers vary between runs; this is an observation, not a ranking, and no business listed is a Cited client.
Notice the Heights rows: the same question on two engines, and only two businesses appear in both lists. That disagreement is normal, and it's why we measure several engines.
What we do for Houston businesses
- Run your customers' questions for your neighborhood and service area across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot, and show you who's named and why.
- Fix what keeps you out: blocked crawlers, conflicting listings, missing service and location pages, thin reviews.
- Write location pages for the parts of Houston you actually serve, not a list of every suburb.
- Re-run the same questions monthly and report the answers, dated and quoted.
Our specialty is med spas, aesthetic clinics and cosmetic dental practices; read AI search optimization for med spas or for cosmetic dentists. For other businesses, see our general AI search optimization services. Other cities: all locations.
Who's behind Cited
Cited was founded in Houston in September 2026 by Michael Cameron, who has spent more than twenty years in marketing, including campaigns for Warner Bros., Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment and Stone Brewing, and as Chief Marketing Officer of a national nonprofit. We work with a limited number of businesses per market so we're never optimizing two competitors against each other.
