Chinese brands selling overseas: what AI says about you
A Chinese company selling overseas gets described twice. Buyers in the US or Europe ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini. Buyers who ask in Chinese use DeepSeek, Doubao or Kimi. The two groups do not read the same pages, and a fix on one side can leave the other untouched.
The $99 Starter runs both. The free sample is ChatGPT only. We are especially strong with SaaS and AI tools selling overseas, and the same work applies to other products that need an accurate description in those answers.
What usually goes wrong
Two different failures show up in the same audit:
- The brand is absent from “what should I use?” answers. On our own day-0 sample, prompts that did not name Citeshine mentioned us 0 times out of 11. See why AI search doesn’t mention my brand.
- The brand is described as something it is not, because a third-party page is stale. Asked by name, ChatGPT described citeshine.com as a Shopify phone-case store from 2021. See where AI answers come from.
We do not treat either one as proof that the same numbers will show up for your product. They are what one logged-out ChatGPT session said about us on 2026-10-13, n=1.

The free sample is ChatGPT only, up to 5 questions, and a short summary. Starter is $99 for all six engines, up to 10 questions, a competitor comparison, cited sources, and a written fix list. Ongoing work is quoted after that. The monthly price is not published.
FAQ
Do you test Chinese AI engines as well as ChatGPT?
In the $99 Starter, yes. The six engines are ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, DeepSeek, Doubao and Kimi, with up to 10 buyer questions. The free sample is ChatGPT only, up to 5 questions. Our only published run so far is logged-out ChatGPT web. We say how each later result was collected.
Will an English site be enough?
An English site is part of it. Engines also repeat third-party pages. If an old directory still describes the company, the answer can follow that page. We trace the claim to the page.
Have you published a before-and-after for a Chinese brand?
No. The published baseline is our own brand, on day 0, and it is not a success story. We have not published a re-test.
