About Citevant
Citevant tracks whether your brand shows up when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Claude about your market. You add your site, and it works out your competitors and the questions your buyers ask. Each week it runs those questions through the five engines and records which brands appear and which pages get cited.
It then emails the publishers of those cited pages, and of articles that mention your competitors, asking them to add your brand. Citevant finds the contact addresses, writes a pitch for each site from your business profile, and sends up to 30 pitches a day. The emails go from a separate domain and inbox that Citevant buys and sets up for you, so your main domain stays out of it. AI sorts the replies and emails you when a publisher says yes. You can let outreach run on its own or review each pitch before it goes out.
The Pro plan also includes one niche directory backlink a day, about 30 a month, picked from a database of more than 13,000 directories. It also tracks your Domain Rating weekly and comes with a 30-minute setup call. Pro costs $95 a month after a 7-day trial that costs $19. Each extra website is $75 a month.
About Flash
Flash is an MCP server for Claude that handles launch directory submissions from your terminal. It checks a list of 630 directories against your app's stack, category and audience, keeps the ones that fit, and ranks them by Domain Rating. It then sorts them into four groups: free directories it submits for you, directories that list you for free if you add a backlink badge, paid directories, and directories that need a manual login or details only you can provide.
For the badge directories, Flash shows a preview of a server-rendered "Featured on" row and adds it to your site footer once you approve. After submitting, it watches your inbox for confirmation emails and clicks the verification links. It then checks each listing page until the backlink is live and shows whether it is dofollow in a status table.
Submissions go out over three weeks so the new backlinks don't arrive all at once. Flash won't pay for listings, enter card details or push code changes until you confirm in the terminal. The free plan covers your first 50 directories. After that it costs $19 a month or $49 as a one-time payment.
