What is CiteRank Question Ladder?
“Question count → plan tier → retainer scope”
CiteRank's plans are gated by buyer questions, not seats: Solo at $5/month covers 10 questions for 1 brand, Founder at $12/month covers 25 questions for 3 brands, and Studio at $19/month covers 50 questions for 6 brands. The ladder framework says an agency should size the question list to the client's buying cycle before picking a tier, because every question is re-asked weekly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude. A dentist with three core procedures needs roughly 10 questions, so Solo fits and the $1,350 CiteRank Local Visibility Audit still leaves healthy margin. A multi-location law firm with practice areas across six cities needs 40 or more questions, which pushes the account to Studio and justifies a larger monthly retainer. Under-buying questions produces thin share-of-voice data; over-buying wastes budget on questions the client never sells against.
