About Stacy
Stacy Gilbert is the Content Marketing Head at Citedly, where she owns the editorial side of our work on AI search visibility. She sets the research standard for every guide we publish: every claim sourced, every statistic dated, and every recommendation tested against real AI answers before it reaches the blog.
Day to day, Stacy works alongside our AI visibility team, reviewing how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot answer real buyer prompts for client businesses. She translates those patterns — which sources get quoted, which pages get skipped, how mentions turn into citations — into the answer-first content frameworks we use for clients and share publicly here.
Before Citedly, Stacy spent a decade in search and content strategy for service businesses, building the kind of pages that earn trust rather than chase keywords. She writes most of the Citedly blog and edits the rest.
