# Citehelm

> Citehelm is an AI search visibility consultancy founded in Budapest in 2026 by Bálint Szabó.
> It monitors how AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI answers) respond to buyers'
> questions in a client's market, measures which sources those answers cite, and runs the
> ongoing remediation work that makes the client citable. Focus: non-English B2B markets —
> German-speaking industry, Hungary and Central Europe. Service model: monitoring-plus-
> remediation retainer with weekly sentinel prompt runs, monthly full-protocol measurement,
