Be the answer,not the ad.
When someone asks Google — or ChatGPT — who to work with, somebody gets recommended. This is the quiet work that makes it you.
The story so far
Search didn't die. It learned to talk.
For twenty years, being found meant ranking on Google. That still matters — but now your customers also ask AI assistants, voice search, and Maps. The names that come back aren't chosen by luck. They're chosen by signals: clear answers, consistent facts, real reviews, pages that actually deserve to be cited.
We build those signals. Not tricks that work until the next update, but the patient kind of visibility that compounds: every month you're the answer a little more often, and every click costs you nothing. We've been doing this since 2011 — long enough to have survived every algorithm that was supposed to end SEO.
Put plainly, so it can be quoted: SEO and AI search optimisation is the work of making a business the one that gets named when somebody asks a search engine, or an AI assistant, who to hire. We are an SEO agency based in Cluj-Napoca, and we do that work in English, Italian and Romanian for clients in six countries — most of it remotely, because the signals live online rather than down the street.
In practice, SEO services in Cluj-Napoca means three measurable things: a clean technical base (speed, structure, structured data that does not silently break), content that answers what people actually type, and the signals that make a business citable by AI assistants. The same senior person stays on the account — there is no handover to a junior after month one.
There is a second half to this that people ask about separately: correcting what an AI assistant already says about you. If the description is out of date — a product you discontinued, a market you left, a positioning you moved on from five years ago — there is no form to file and nothing to log into. The work is to replace what those systems can retrieve, in order: one plainly written page with the current facts, verified as indexed, then the third-party profiles and directories still repeating the old version. We do that work, and we say plainly when it is not the right job for you.
In practice
What we build for you
Found on Google, cited by AI

Speed, structure and clean signals, so your site never loses to a slower competitor with better plumbing.
Progress you can see
A monthly review in plain words: where you showed up, what it brought, what we're doing next.
Common questions
SEO & AI Search, answered.
What's included in Cittago's SEO & AI Search service?
You get pages structured so both Google and AI assistants understand what you do, content answering the questions customers actually ask, a technical foundation for speed and clean signals, plus a monthly plain-language review of where you appeared and what it brought.
How is this different from just doing SEO on Google?
Traditional SEO targets Google rankings only. This service also builds the signals AI assistants, voice search and Maps use to recommend you: clear answers, consistent facts, real reviews and pages worth citing. You become the answer people are given, not just a link they might click.
Does this suit a small business, and which languages do you work in?
Yes. Cittago is a boutique, senior-only agency in Cluj-Napoca serving 56 brands across 6 countries, so scope fits smaller businesses too. We work in English, Italian and Romanian, and treat search and AI visibility as one connected system rather than separate tactics.
What's the first step and how much does it cost?
Start with a free 30-minute visibility analysis with a senior strategist: no script, no pitch. We show where you appear today on Google and in AI answers, and the easiest wins. Ongoing work is scoped to your goals, with no obligation to continue.
Do you do SEO in Cluj-Napoca?
Yes — Cittago is based in Cluj-Napoca and has been since 2011. Local clients get the same senior-only work as everyone else, with the advantage that a meeting can happen in person. If you searched for an SEO agency in Cluj, this is the page you were looking for.
What is AI search optimisation, in one sentence?
It is the work of making sure that when someone asks an AI assistant who to hire in your field, your business is described accurately and is among the names that come back — which depends on clear pages, consistent facts about you across the web, and being mentioned in places the assistants read.
Do you work with businesses outside Romania?
Yes. We work in English, Italian and Romanian, with clients in six countries, and most of the work happens remotely. Italian businesses in particular are a large part of what we do, and the whole service runs in Italian if that is easier.
How long before SEO shows results?
For a site with some history, the first movements in Search Console usually show up within four to eight weeks, and the commercial pages are the slowest part. Anyone promising a fixed date is guessing; what we commit to is a monthly review in plain words showing where you appeared and what it brought.
What does AI search optimisation change that classic SEO does not?
Classic SEO earns a link somebody may click. AI search optimisation earns a sentence somebody is read out loud. The work overlaps — clean structured data, consistent facts, real reviews — but the target differs: an assistant needs a quotable claim with a source, not a page that merely covers a topic. We build both, because the same audit feeds both.
Can you correct what ChatGPT says about my company?
Yes, when there is something to correct. No assistant offers a correction form, so the work is to replace what it can retrieve: one clearly written page carrying the current facts, verified as indexed, then the third-party profiles and directories repeating the old version. Expect weeks rather than days. If almost nothing has ever been written about your company anywhere, this is the wrong job — the right one is being mentioned at all, and we will tell you so.
