About · the studio
The studio that makes AI name you.
Citeran is an independent generative engine optimization studio. We build the authority, citations and structured signals that get brands recommended by AI, and we publish our work so you can judge it on the evidence, not the pitch.
Built by the person doing the work.
Citeran is led by its founder, an engineer and operator who builds the systems behind AI visibility, from citation strategy to private retrieval architecture. The work is hands-on: the person scoping your audit is the person doing the work. The studio was founded in 2026 on one conviction, that the buying decision has moved inside the model, and the brands that win will be the ones engineered to be recommended.
We build serious systems.
For a precious-metals company turning over $200 to 300k a month, we designed and built a fully private CRM and retrieval-augmented (RAG) system: their own data, their own models, nothing leaking to third parties, so the team could query their entire operation and get an accurate, sourced answer in seconds. The same rigour goes into LLM-optimization workflows and AI data-leak auditing for enterprise clients.
