Founder, Cited Co  ·  Founder, Living with Lolo

Lauren Lerner is the founder of Cited Co, a boutique AI visibility agency established in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2026. She has operated Living with Lolo, a full-service luxury interior design and design-build firm, since 2017. Living with Lolo holds Arizona contractor license ROC #347577 and has won Phoenix Magazine’s Best Interior Design award three consecutive years. Cited Co was built directly from the work Lauren did to make Living with Lolo visible to AI tools and the documented results that followed.

Those two things are not unrelated.

When AI tools became a real part of how clients discover service businesses, Lauren started testing them. She asked ChatGPT about the best interior designers in Scottsdale. She asked Perplexity. She asked Gemini. She asked Claude. Her own award-winning firm barely showed up.

The problem was not her reputation. The problem was that AI tools did not have enough structured, credible, well-organized information about her business to cite it.

So she built the system to fix it. See the Living with Lolo case study for the full story. First for Living with Lolo. Then she turned it into an agency.

Cited Co exists because service businesses with real reputations deserve to be the answer when someone asks AI who to hire.

Small roster.

We cap the number of clients we take on. Every business gets consistent, personalized attention from a strategist who knows their industry.

Expert authority.

We act as your expert partner and make the right calls for your AI visibility. We execute with authority, not with a permission slip.

Measurable every month.

We track visibility scores across four AI platforms every single month. You will always know exactly what is changing and why.

Scottsdale roots.

We started in Scottsdale and we know this market. That local specificity is part of how we build visibility that sounds real because it is.
