*A small, specialist AI search visibility service, run by its founder.*

**Short answer:** TrustCited is an AI search visibility (GEO) service founded in 2026 by Raghav Rana and based in Gurugram, India. It checks what ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok say about a business, shows which competitors they name instead, and fixes the sources those assistants rely on.

## Raghav Rana, founder

Raghav leads generative engine optimization work for an Indian B2B platform, where the share of AI answers naming the company rose from 4.7% to 57% in about three months. He also audited a K-12 school whose AI visibility rose from 17% to 73% in about five months. Both are written up in the [case studies](https://trustcited.com/case-studies/).

In October 2026 he checked how ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Perplexity describe 36 Indian-curriculum schools in the UAE and more than 200 clinics and marketing agencies in the UAE and India. The patterns from that work, such as AI quoting fees from directories instead of the school's own site, shape every check.

His background is in computer science with a specialisation in AI and machine learning, and in performance marketing. Every check and fix is done or reviewed by him personally.

## How the work is done

- **Published prices.** You can see what everything costs on the [pricing page](https://trustcited.com/pricing/).
- **The same questions before and after,** so results can be compared. See the [methodology](https://trustcited.com/methodology/).
- **No fake reviews, no paid "best of" lists,** and no content that pretends to be independent when it isn't.
- **No guarantees.** AI answers can't be controlled, and anyone who promises otherwise is guessing.
- **You own everything:** the pages, the listings and the data.

## Who TrustCited works with

[Clinics](https://trustcited.com/for/clinics/), [schools](https://trustcited.com/for/schools/), [B2B companies](https://trustcited.com/for/b2b/) and [marketing agencies](https://trustcited.com/for/agencies/) (white-label), in India, the UAE and other countries. All work is remote.
