An agency does the work. CitePack shows where it starts.

How CitePack reaches 60 observations of one decision.
CitePack maps how AI engines choose in a defined buying decision: one offering, the buying category it’s bought in, and the market its buyers are in. The category and the buyer’s situation shape which companies an engine puts forward, so the decision is defined before anything is asked.
CitePack frames the questions. Each is drafted for your offering, its buying category and your buyers’ market, one for every real buying situation across the whole decision: a buyer just starting to look, one with a job to get done, one with a condition they won’t bend on, one weighing what matters most, and one moving away from what they use now. Each carries the buyer specifics that matter, like the work to be done, a must-have or what they use today. None of it is a fixed prompt from a library. You read every question, change any wording you like and approve all five. The final go is yours. Then every engine gets them exactly as written.
- 5buying situations, framed by CitePack
- × 4engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity
- × 3clean repeats on each engine
- = 60observations of one decision, every answer kept
Each question goes to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, three times on each engine, and every repeat is clean. Five situations, four engines, three repeats: 60 observations of one defined decision. Every answer is kept word for word, with the searches the engine ran and the pages it read. So the pattern shows which names an engine keeps putting forward, which turn up once, and how each engine chose.
The Work Plan turns those answers into ranked work. Each item names the answers and pages behind it, who does it and what to check when you measure again.
Map each offering, category and market you sell into, and each map adds to the picture of where your company stands in its market.
The two methods.
| What is compared | CitePack | A GEO agency |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A study of one defined decision: 60 observations from five buying situations framed for your decision, on four engines, every answer kept. | A service: a team that does the work for you |
| Who does the work | You or your agency, from the ranked Work Plan | The agency |
What the map gives an agency.
A defined place to start: which names each engine put forward in the decision, what it said about you, and the searches and pages behind each answer. Every answer is kept word for word.
What the Work Plan gives an agency.
The Work Plan ranks the work. Each item is tied to a question, the answers and a verbatim search or quote, and names an effort, an owner and a check. Some items are outlines of a page to build, not written pages.
Who each fits.
An agency fits a team that wants someone else to do the work. CitePack fits a team, or its agency, that wants to aim the work by what the engines did.
