Frequently asked questions

What is CitedX?

CitedX is a free directory of UK businesses, structured so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude can cite them when customers ask for recommendations. Every listing carries clean schema markup, opening hours, services, and FAQs in formats that large language models can read and quote.

Is CitedX really free?

Yes. Listing a UK business is free forever. Claiming a listing is free. The optional AEO+ subscription unlocks AI citation tracking, featured placement, and quarterly visibility reports — but the core directory is free for every UK business.

How does AI citation actually work?

When someone asks an AI engine "best plumber in Manchester" or "small accountancy firm in Bristol," the model pulls answers from a mix of training data and live web sources. CitedX makes UK businesses readable to those engines through structured data, consistent NAP (name, address, phone), entity-first content, and an llms.txt directive at the site root.

What data sources do you use?

CitedX listings come from owner submissions, claimed pages, and curated public-data imports. We never republish content that businesses haven't consented to share. Companies House and similar public registries are used only for identity verification, not content.

Do you cover Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland?

Yes — every UK business is welcome on CitedX. Region-specific pages are built for England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

How is CitedX different from Yell or FreeIndex?

CitedX is built specifically for AI search. Traditional directories optimise for Google's blue links; CitedX optimises for what Large Language Models cite. That means structured FAQs, entity-graph schema, llms.txt, and AI-quotable content — none of which legacy directories provide.
