AI visibility for Retail
Win the shelf when shoppers ask AI what to buy
Whether brick-and-mortar or omnichannel, retail brands get asked in AI: 'where can I buy [product]?' and 'is [brand] good?'. Stores get cited when product and brand pages are structured and discoverable. Citedly tracks the purchase-intent prompts for your categories and regions.
The prompts your customers actually ask
These are the question patterns that drive AI recommendations in retail. Track them and you'll see exactly when you're in the answer — and when you're not.
- Where to buy [product] in [city/country]
- Is [brand] worth it? [brand] reviews
- Best [category] store for [occasion]
- [product] deals this week

Retail FAQ
Do AI engines recommend physical stores?
Yes, for local purchase questions. Stores with LocalBusiness schema, opening hours, and clear product pages get cited in 'where to buy' answers.
We're a chain — can we track per region?
Yes. The Agency plan supports 10 brands, so you can track your key regions or banners separately with region-specific prompts.
What's the difference between mention and citation?
A mention is the AI naming your brand; a citation is it linking to your site. Citedly tracks both, because citations drive traffic and mentions drive mindshare.
