Displacing comparison sites in regulated answers

A payments platform shifted engine answers away from aggregator comparison pages by fixing structured data and earning citations from the sources engines already trusted.

Sample dataSample data — the companies, people, quotes, logos and numbers on this page are placeholders used to illustrate the format. They are not real CiteRank AI customers or results.

In a regulated category, being the source engines trust is the whole game. We finally had a map of who that was.

The challenge

  • Comparison and aggregator sites monopolised answers for pricing and integration prompts.
  • Compliance review slowed any change to public claims.
  • Engine answers disagreed with each other about the product's own feature set.

What we ran

  • Structured-data and documentation cleanup so every engine read the same product facts.
  • Prompt monitoring split by regulated vs non-regulated intents for faster compliance sign-off.
  • Targeted corrections with the handful of sources responsible for most citations.
