Your citations. Cited in the sources AI engines read.
How does Hikoo get you cited by AI engines?
Hikoo identifies the comparison pages, media and directories AI engines cite on your topics, finds the right contact and sends a useful message, followed up until there's a decision. It's built for brands and agencies whose competitors get cited by AI in their place. The expected result is a brand present in the sources ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity rely on to make recommendations.
01
The sources that shape the answers, identified.
On any given topic, AI answers rely on a small number of pages. Hikoo identifies which ones matter on your topics, which ones already cite your competitors and which ones leave you out.
A source that cites your competitors but not you is a priority target.

It's the work that gets you cited by the sites AI engines consult. On any given topic, their answers rely on a small number of pages, such as comparison pages, media or directories. Hikoo identifies the ones that matter on your topics, finds their editorial contact and writes to them.
The ones that cite your competitors but not you. Hikoo identifies the pages that carry weight on your topics, the ones that already cite your competitors and the ones that leave you out, and a source that cites your competitors without you becomes a priority target.
Only if you've decided they should. Each message can be reviewed by you or sent automatically. You also set the rules for these conversations, what can be offered and which sites to exclude, and nothing is agreed outside those rules.
Something useful for the source, like updated data, a test or a correction, never a bare request to be added. Every email starts from a specific reason, and the conversation is followed up at the right time until there's an answer, positive or not.
Outreach is included in the Agent plan, where Hikoo finds the contact, writes and sends the messages. Source analysis, which shows which sites AI engines cite on your topics, is available from the Growth plan.
