Citevio is a GEO agency built only for cosmetic and Invisalign dental practices in the United States, with published pricing and a daily four-engine measurement method. DentalScapes is a Raleigh, NC dental marketing agency founded in 2023 that serves general, pediatric, orthodontic, oral surgery and periodontal practices nationwide, offering AI Visibility (GEO) as one of several services.
This page compares what Citevio and DentalScapes each state on their own websites about who they serve, what they charge and what they publish about how AI visibility is measured. It does not rank the two agencies or evaluate DentalScapes' results. We have not measured either agency's client outcomes, so this page does not compare them.
What does DentalScapes do?
DentalScapes was founded in 2023 and is based in Raleigh, North Carolina, describing itself as a dental-only marketing agency serving practices nationwide in the US. Its client base spans general dentists, pediatric dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons and periodontists. Alongside AI Visibility (GEO), DentalScapes lists SEO, PPC advertising, Google Local Services Ads, social media advertising and management, ChatGPT Ads, web design and review generation as services.
DentalScapes' GEO service page lists its components as an AI Visibility Audit, entity and authority optimization (schema markup and NAP consistency), AI-ready content creation, citation and mention building, monthly reporting and strategy calls, and a dedicated GEO strategist. It states that it optimizes for ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI, Claude and Meta AI. Its pricing page does not list a number of tracked questions or a stated engine-check frequency for the GEO service.
What does Citevio do differently?
Citevio works only with cosmetic and Invisalign dental practices in the United States. Its work runs through the Citation-to-Chair Protocol: a discovery step identifies the buying questions patients actually ask, the question set is agreed with the practice, and Citevio measures how the major AI engines answer those questions on a fixed, logged schedule.
Citevio measures visibility on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The question set is fixed and agreed with the client at the start, and logged. It does not change mid-month, because a set that changes cannot be compared month to month. Full methodology: how we measure AI visibility.
How do published prices compare?
| Tier | Citevio | DentalScapes |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Visibility — $1,400/mo + $1,900 setup · 30 tracked questions | Core — $1,497/mo + $1,497 setup · practices under $1M annual revenue |
| Mid | Authority — $2,900/mo + $3,500 setup · 45 tracked questions | Growth — $2,497/mo + $2,497 setup · $1M–$2.5M annual revenue |
| Top | Dominance — $5,500/mo + $7,500 setup · 60 tracked questions | Elite — $4,497+/mo + $4,497 setup · multi-location, custom scope |
DentalScapes' setup fee is stated as equal to one month's package price for each tier. On 29 September 2026, its pricing page said “No. All DentalScapes programs are month-to-month.” in answer to “Are there long-term contracts?”, while its homepage listed “Flexible 6 or 12-month agreements.” It also states website ownership passing to the practice after 12 months, and ad spend billed directly by the ad platform. Citevio's plans have no lock-in and no notice period.
Citevio's tracked-question counts describe the scope of work included in each package, not a promised outcome. DentalScapes' pricing page does not publish a comparable tracked-question count or measurement frequency for its GEO service, so a direct "how much visibility work do you get for the price" comparison cannot be made from public information alone — we have not measured DentalScapes' service delivery ourselves.
Which practices does each agency serve?
DentalScapes' own pages describe a client base that includes general dentists, pediatric dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons and periodontists across the United States. Citevio serves only cosmetic and Invisalign dental practices in the United States — a narrower scope by design, not an expansion in progress.
What does each agency publish about its GEO measurement?
- Citevio publishes the four engines it measures, a fixed and logged monthly question set, the number of tracked questions per package, and an open dental market research dataset under CC-BY-4.0 with a DOI — see the open data page.
- On the DentalScapes GEO and pricing pages reviewed on 16 August 2026, we did not find a tracked-question count, a check frequency, or a measured citation result for the service. We have not measured DentalScapes' service delivery ourselves.
Citevio's dental market research is published openly under CC-BY-4.0 with a DOI, so the numbers can be checked and reused; client data is never published.
The measurement comparison can also be checked against the size and date of the underlying public work. Citevio's June 2026 dataset covers 527 US dental practice websites across seven metros and nine nearby towns. A separate Citevio dataset covers 6,497 readable US dental practice robots.txt files, read on 22 July 2026 across 13 AI and data crawlers. The permanent DOI is 10.5281/zenodo.23143214.
How often do AI engines name each of us?
In Citevio's August 2026 agency study, ChatGPT and Perplexity produced 82 answer blocks across 23 agency-hiring questions and two runs. Citevio was named in 43 blocks and DentalScapes in 29. The source lists included citevio.com in 37 blocks and dentalscapes.com in 12. A block can name both agencies, and these counts describe this question set rather than service quality or client outcomes.

Both agencies were named in 11 of the 23 query families. Seven named Citevio but not DentalScapes, two named DentalScapes but not Citevio, and three named neither. The full 45-agency answer-block ranking and the broader agency comparison provide the study context and its limits.
Does either agency guarantee AI placement?
No agency can guarantee that an AI engine will name a practice, and Citevio does not offer that guarantee. AI placement cannot be bought; there is no paid slot in an AI recommendation.
Citevio's own commitment therefore applies to the fee, not to placement. Citevio does not guarantee placement, but it does guarantee the fee: if at least two of the four engines have not named the practice in one of the commercial-intent questions agreed at onboarding within 45 days of confirmed setup, the setup fee is refunded in full.
