GEO Monitor · Weekly AI visibility, with receipts

Know what ChatGPT says when buyers ask about you

GEO Monitor asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews the questions your buyers ask, every week, and keeps every answer. See whether you are named, who is named instead, and which pages the engines trust.

  • Five engines, no add-ons
  • Weekly, on purpose
  • Every number opens the answer behind it
  • From $29 a month

How it works

Real questions, real engines, stored answers

Questions never contain your name. A question that names you will always mention you, and measures nothing. We enforce that rule in code.

1

Tell us what you sell, and where

Add your website and describe your business. We write brand-free questions that mirror what your buyers actually ask, for a software category or for a service in your city.

2

We ask the engines every week

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews get your questions on a weekly schedule. Every full answer is stored, with the sources it cited.

3

You read the receipts

One visibility score you can explain, the competitors named instead of you, and the pages the engines trust. Every number opens the answer behind it.

What you see inside

A dashboard that shows its work

One visibility score you can explain, and the stored answers behind it. No black-box estimate anywhere.

  • Visibility score with a week-over-week delta
  • Each buyer question, named or absent, per engine
  • Raw answers with your name highlighted
  • Competitors named in the same answers
  • The pages each engine cited, and the ones you are missing from (Pro)
  • Accuracy Watch: when an engine gets your facts wrong (Pro)

Who it is for

Anyone a buyer might ask an AI about

Software companies

Buyers ask an AI for the best tool in your category and act on the three names it gives. Track those questions and the citations behind the answers.

“What is the best inventory tool for a small Shopify store?”

Local and service businesses

Law firms, clinics, agencies, contractors. People ask for the best one in their city. Questions are targeted to your city or region.

“Who are the best personal injury lawyers in Houston?”

Done for you

On the Managed plan we write and maintain your questions and competitor list, and email you a monthly summary with three actions.

Setup within two business days of subscribing.

How we compare

Five engines in the base price

Most tools publish a friendly entry price and then charge per engine. Add the engines your buyers actually use before you compare any two numbers.

List prices as published by each vendor in September 2026. Check their pricing pages before you buy, these change. What we do not offer: daily scans, Microsoft Copilot, or an API. If you need those, one of the tools above is the better buy.

How often, and for how long

One scan is interesting. The trend is the product.

Once a week is plenty

AI answers do not really move day to day. The models behind them change every few months, and the pages they cite take weeks to be re-crawled. Scanning daily mostly buys you the same answer seven times, plus normal model variation that is easy to mistake for a real change.

The longer the history, the better

A single run tells you whether you are named today. It cannot tell you whether the page you rewrote made any difference, or whether a competitor is climbing. After a month you can see direction. After a quarter you can tell what worked. Starter keeps 12 months of scans, Pro and Managed keep 24.

Setup help on every plan

A person sets you up, not a wizard

Every subscription includes free setup help. Email us after you subscribe and we put together a starting configuration: questions, competitors, engines, city targeting if you are a local business. Managed customers get this automatically, plus a written summary every month.

Why it matters

The buyers you never see

Buying is quietly moving off the search results page. Instead of scanning ten links, people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews a direct question and act on the handful of names the answer gives. A business left out of that answer is not ranked lower. It is absent.

You can rank well on Google and still be missing from AI answers, because the engines draw on sources they can quote with confidence: clear facts about you, and third-party pages that name you. If those pages name a competitor instead, the engine follows them. There is no impression, no click, no trace in your analytics.

GEO Monitor makes that visible. It tells you where you stand today, and whether the things you change actually move the answers.

Plain answers

Frequently asked questions

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of being visible and citeable inside AI-generated answers, the responses ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews give when someone asks for a recommendation. Traditional SEO optimises for a ranked list of links. GEO is about being one of the few names an AI actually gives, and being described accurately when it does.
How is this different from a rank tracker?
A rank tracker tells you where you sit in Google's blue links. GEO Monitor tells you whether an AI answer engine names you when a buyer asks a real question, which competitors it names instead, and which pages it cited. We do not estimate a score. We send real questions to live engines and keep the raw answers.
Does it work for a local business, not just software?
Yes. Tell us what you do and which city or region you serve, and the questions are written that way: best X in your city, which X should I hire, and so on. The engines answer with named businesses, and we record who they name.
Why weekly and not daily?
AI answers do not move meaningfully day to day. The models change every few months and the pages they cite take weeks to be re-crawled. Daily scanning mostly re-buys the same answer and adds noise that looks like change. Weekly gives a cleaner trend at a lower price, and a manual re-scan is there if you need one.
Why am I not showing up in AI answers?
Answer engines lean on sources they can quote with confidence: clear, consistent facts about you, and third-party pages that mention or list you. If those pages name your competitors and not you, the engine follows them. Pro shows you the exact pages, so you know where to earn a mention.
Can you make ChatGPT rank me first?
No. Nobody can honestly promise a placement in an AI answer. GEO Monitor measures what the engines say, stores the evidence, and shows you the gaps. What you do with the gaps is what moves the answers.
Is the free check really free?
Yes. Enter your website and we run three real buyer questions on ChatGPT with web search, at no cost and with no account. Results are cached for 30 days.
Can I cancel?
Any time. Monthly plans stop at the end of the paid month and annual plans at the end of the paid year. There is no trial and no partial refund for the active period.
