AEO/GEO Optimizer - AI Brand Monitoring

See whether AI recommends your brand — or your competitor — when customers ask.

Your customers don't scroll ten blue links anymore. They ask ChatGPT, Google's AI, or Perplexity "what's the best [your thing]?" and trust whatever it says back. If your brand isn't in that answer, you're invisible — and no rank tracker will tell you, because there's no link to rank.

So we built this to watch those answers for you. Give it the questions your customers ask and your brand name, and it checks who the AI actually names — across Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Copilot. You get a simple 0–100 visibility score and its trend, the exact answers that named or cited you, who's winning instead of you, and — the part no other tool does — it reads the exact page a competitor was cited from and tells you, in plain English, what to change to win that answer back.

Behind the scenes, this is an orchestrator — it doesn't scrape anything itself. It runs other specialized Apify Actors for you in the background and merges their results into one report. Every AI answer comes from apify/google-search-scraper; the competitor deep-dive crawls the winning page with apify/website-content-crawler. Those background runs are billed to you too — see Costs.

🧪 Early access. This is new and priced lean — a small $0.05 per-run start fee, plus platform usage + the background Actors you'd pay anyway. The only AI charge is for the optional competitor deep-dive (and it's free with your own key). No per-result markup. Tell us what to add next or if anything feels off → open an issue on the Issues tab. 🙏

The Apify Actors it runs

You don't run anything yourself — this Actor calls these proven Apify Actors for you, on your own account:

Actor	What it does here	When it runs
apify/google-search-scraper	Runs every AI-answer check — Google AI Overview, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Copilot	Every run
apify/website-content-crawler	Crawls the exact competitor page the AI cited, for the deep-dive	Only when the competitor deep-dive is on

Both are pay-as-you-go Apify Store Actors, and their runs bill to your own Apify account (cents per run) — so you'll see them on your Apify usage alongside this Actor. Results are delivered to Slack and Notion through their official MCP connectors — connect once, no passwords shared.

Who it's for

• SEO & content leads moving into AEO — "is AI eating my traffic, and am I even in the answers?"
• Founders & marketers — "when someone asks AI for the best tool in my market, do they hear my name or my rival's?"
• Agencies — track several clients across countries and AI engines from one place.
• PR & brand teams — catch the moment a competitor starts winning answers you don't.

What you get

• A visibility score + trend. Per question, per engine: are you mentioned, are you cited, and is your score climbing or slipping over the last few runs.
• The exact answers that named you. For every question where you showed up, the snippet around your mention and the full AI answer — so you can verify exactly where and how (clearest in Notion).
• Who's winning, and where you slipped. Share of voice vs the competitors you name, a per-engine breakdown, your fresh wins, and the prompts you lost this week.
• 🔍 The page that beat you. When a competitor wins a question you lose, we crawl the exact page the AI cited, explain why it won, and hand you a copy-paste fix per question. Nobody else reads the winning page.
• 📬 Delivered where you work. A REPORT you can read right in the Apify Console, a short daily summary in Slack, dated Notion report pages (plus an optional results table you can filter and sort), or just ask any AI assistant "how's my brand doing this week?" (it's an MCP server too).

Set it up in 2 minutes

1. Add your questions (one per line, in your customers' language) and your brand.
2. Pick a country and which AI engines to check. (Add competitors to unlock the deep-dive.)
3. Hit Start — and use the Schedule tab to run it daily, so you can watch the trend.

The AI checks run on your own Apify account automatically. The competitor deep-dive's write-up uses built-in AI out of the box, or your own Anthropic key if you prefer (both optional).

Costs

Early access, priced lean — pay only when you run, no subscriptions, no per-result markup. You pay:

• $0.05 each time a run starts — our one baseline charge.
• Apify platform usage (compute) for this Actor — it's mostly orchestration, so it stays small.
• The background Actors' own fees — apify/google-search-scraper for the AI checks, and apify/website-content-crawler for the deep-dive crawl. These run on your own Apify account, so they show up on your Apify bill directly (cents per run).

About AI charges — only the competitor deep-dive uses our AI. Tracking your visibility uses no AI of ours: the AI answers are fetched by the search-scraper Actor (billed to your own account), and we just read them — so the regular checks carry no extra AI cost. The only place we charge for AI is the optional competitor deep-dive (the "why they win" write-up), and only when you turn it on:

• $0.02 per analysis on Claude Haiku, or $0.06 on Claude Sonnet — one charge per deep-dive run.
• $0 if you bring your own Anthropic key (then you pay Anthropic directly).

So a typical daily run is a few cents from us, plus your own background-Actor usage. If anything ever feels expensive, tell us on the Issues tab and we'll dig into it.

Ask your AI assistant (MCP)

It's also an MCP server. Connect it to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client and just ask — "where does my brand show up for [question]?" or "where am I losing this week?" — live.

Notes

This reads publicly visible AI answers and logs into nothing. The nested Apify Actor runs (search scraper + competitor crawler) bill to your own Apify account. The competitor deep-dive write-up uses AI — our built-in key by default (a small cover-cost charge), or paste your own Anthropic key (then you pay Anthropic directly and we skip that charge).
