AI search · Perplexity
Perplexity doesn't just rank pages. It reads them, quotes them, and links to them by name. Whether your brand gets cited depends on signals most sites have never set up. Findrix audits those signals and queues the fixes for your approval.
You searched Perplexity for your own category. It cited three competitors by name and linked to their pages. Your brand wasn't mentioned.

Your brand: not mentioned
You rank on Google for a term. Perplexity answers the same query but pulls from a different source entirely, one that ranks below you in search.
You sell in a category where people research before they buy. Perplexity is where that research happens now. You haven't checked whether your brand shows up there.
Unlike Google, Perplexity writes an answer, cites sources by name and links directly to them. If your brand is not cited, you do not exist in that answer.
If Perplexity is not citing you, the problem is usually structural. Findrix finds the gap and shows which page, source or signal to fix first.
Perplexity pulls direct quotes from pages it cites. If your content is not structured so it can be lifted cleanly into an answer, Perplexity skips you for a source that is easier to quote.
Perplexity weighs recency heavily. A page untouched for months is a weaker citation candidate, even if the content is accurate. Freshness signals like dateModified help show whether the information can still be trusted.
Perplexity cross-references what your site says against independent sources: review platforms, directories, Wikipedia, Wikidata, community discussions and independent write-ups. If the external record is thin or inconsistent, it is less likely to cite you.
Findrix finds the blocking gap and shows which page, source or signal to fix first.
If you're not sure about any of these, that's exactly what the audit checks first.

Findrix shows you the problem and applies the fix. Nothing changes until you've reviewed and approved it.
Findrix scans your site in minutes against the 31 signals Perplexity weighs before it cites a brand: whether pages can be quoted directly, how recently they changed, and whether your brand shows up where credibility is verified. No setup.
You get every blocker named, each fix described in one sentence, ordered by how much it moves your Perplexity visibility. No jargon, no guessing what to do first.
For fixes that need to ship, Findrix installs on your platform. No admin credentials, no developer handoff. Everything that deploys goes through the plugin, and everything is reversible.
Installs as a Shopify app. No code, no developer. Citation schema, dateModified, and product schema stay current automatically.

How Findrix works with WordPress“Perplexity was recommending our competitors for every category query we cared about. Findrix found we had no citation schema and our external presence was almost invisible. Fixed both in one session.”
First Perplexity citation within 5 weeks of deploying schema
“Someone searched Perplexity for the best physiotherapy clinic in our city. It named two competitors. Findrix traced it to missing review platform listings. Three weeks after fixing them, we were in the answer.”

“We rank well on Google but Perplexity was ignoring us completely. The audit found our pages had no quotable structure. Findrix added citation schema across our top 12 pages in one session.”

Findrix runs a read-only audit first. Nothing changes until you review and approve each fix. Every change is reversible with one click. No admin access to your CMS is ever required. If something doesn't look right, you roll it back.
Findrix fixes the signals Perplexity uses to decide who to cite. On most sites that means citation schema, freshness signals, and gaps in your external presence, but the audit finds what's specific to yours. You see each fix before it deploys.
Most brands start appearing in Perplexity answers within 3 to 6 weeks. Perplexity re-indexes frequently and weights recent updates, so citation schema and freshness fixes register faster than you might expect. We tell you this upfront.
No. Findrix installs as a Shopify app or connects to WordPress via plugin in one click. No admin credentials required. Everything that gets deployed goes through Findrix, not your development team.
Ranking on Google helps, but it doesn't guarantee a Perplexity citation. A page-two result in Google sometimes gets cited in Perplexity over a page-one result, because Perplexity weights different signals: citation structure, recency, and external credibility. Findrix identifies which ones are missing on your site and fixes them.
Google ranks pages. ChatGPT generates answers from training data. Perplexity does both in real time: it searches the web, reads the results, writes an answer, and cites its sources by name. That means the signals that get you cited are different from what gets you ranked. Citation structure matters here in a way it doesn't on Google.
A developer can implement changes, but won't know which ones Perplexity responds to. That requires continuous monitoring of how AI systems update their signals. Findrix monitors and re-diagnoses as the landscape shifts, not just once.
