## Give this to your agent

```text
Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: ai citation outreach.

Find the pages ChatGPT cites for my category and who to contact. First ask me for my brand, my category, my country and language.

List the pages ChatGPT’s answers cite most with dataforseo/ai-optimization-llm-mentions-top-mentioned-pages. Check five buyer questions in ChatGPT with dataforseo/ai-optimization-chat-gpt-llm-scraper to confirm which pages it cites today. Read the 10 most cited pages with firecrawl/scrape and note which brands they list. Find their authors’ emails with icypeas/find-emails-batch and verify them with icypeas/verify-emails-batch.

Finish with a table (page, brands listed, are we there, author, contact) and a short, honest pitch for each page that leaves us out.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

## When to use something else

To track AI answers every day across hundreds of prompts, use an AI visibility platform. This playbook turns one snapshot into a contact list.

## AI citation outreach: questions

### Will ChatGPT name us after this?

No one can promise that. Being listed on the pages it relies on raises your chances, and this playbook shows which pages count.

### How is this different from the AI visibility audit?

The audit measures where you stand across assistants. This playbook turns the pages they cite into a contact list.

### What does the example cost?

At most $0.66. The cited pages call and the email searches are most of it.
