Richard works as a content writer and SEO strategist. In his daily work, he repeatedly faced the challenge of keeping content up-to-date – especially citations and fact-based information. With the rise of AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), this problem has become even more pressing: AI systems expect precise, current sources. From this challenge, Richard developed CiteRanger – a solution that simplifies his own workflow and helps other content writers, agencies, and SEO strategists manage content freshness efficiently.
