Built for SaaS founders and product teams who want to know why ChatGPT recommends competitors instead of them. Get the exact Reddit comment, email, or GitHub PR ready to paste — then we measure if it moved your citations 14 days later. Most tools stop at the chart.
What no other AI visibility tool ships
Every dashboard in the GEO category measures. We're the only one that explains why you lose, drafts the action that flips it, and proves whether it worked 14 days later. Verify each claim below — every link goes to the actual spec or feature doc.
On every losing query, open Why? and read 3 evidence-backed reasons the winner ranks first + 3 ranked actions to flip it, with a predicted GEO lift and a confidence band. Other tools chart the gap; we explain it.
See methodologyWhen you mark an action posted, we anchor a 14-day pre/post citation window on that source and re-count. Cards then show "Drove +5 citations across 3 queries (high confidence)" or "No measurable change" — never "trust us, this lifted you".
How outcomes are measuredEvery cited URL is classified by venue health before we draft. Frozen sources (archived Reddit, locked HN, defunct domains) get a replacement strategy with a one-click URL — not a wasted draft. We refuse to act in dead venues.
Read the classifier specMost "AI is invisible to me" problems start with a misconfigured robots.txt or X-Robots-Tag — not content. We grade your site against 16 critical AI crawlers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, Apple, Meta, ByteDance, ...) and ship the exact snippet for app/robots.ts or your CDN.
See the bot matrixDaily cron walks every Business domain and emails when GEO Score drops ≥10 pts week-over-week or a new competitor appears in 3+ of your queries. Same triggers mirror to a Slack Incoming Webhook (HTTPS-validated, anti-SSRF). Each event announced once — no spam.

The gap
Every tool in the category — at every price point — surfaces the same diagnosis: here are the URLs AI cites for your queries, here is your share of voice, here is who beats you. Then they hand the patient back to themselves with a bill. The comment, the email, the pull request — those are still on you. We ship them.

Four actionability states, one lookup per cited URL. For Live and Limited venues we generate a paste-ready draft. For Frozen we refuse to spend tokens and surface the replacement strategy. For Manual venues we hand off the link with a hint. All four examples below come from the production dataset of a real Pro user (Netlify on netlify.com).

FIVE DRAFT GENERATORS
Reddit comment culture is not Hacker News culture is not journalist inbox culture. We tune the prompt, the length, the disclosure rules, and the etiquette guards per platform.
Mentions your brand alongside 1-2 alternatives, never in isolation. Subreddit-specific etiquette for r/SEO, r/SaaS, r/devops, r/programming + 7 more. 80-160 words, no emojis, link-capped.
One-line "I work on …" affiliation, 60-150 words, drops one specific signal (number / benchmark / gotcha). Auto-locked threads (>14 days) skip drafting and surface "submit your own Show HN" instead.
Subject (≤8 words, references the article), one specific data point about your brand, soft ask matched to "If you're updating in Q3 / no rush". Author email auto-detected → mailto: pre-filled with subject + body.
Title + body + the exact markdown line in a code block. One-click "Open README in editor" lands you in GitHub's web editor on the repo, ready to fork and commit. CONTRIBUTING.md reminder always shown.
Subject + 2-3 specific episode angles (each = a tentative episode title + a one-sentence hook) + one-line bio + soft ask. Never "do you have 15 minutes for a call." mailto: pre-fill or Listen Notes search fallback.
The closed loop
Every action you mark posted goes into a 14-day citation delta tracker. Real before/after numbers per source, per query. No guessing whether the work moved the needle — and no overclaiming when it didn't.
Example data. Real outcomes vary by query competitiveness, source authority, and draft quality.
When you see it. Available on Pro and Business. The 14-day window starts the moment you click “Mark sent” — first outcome appears at day 14 or sooner via weekly cron.
Confidence bands
How we honestly grade every outcome
Delta is consistent across all 3 engines AND the cited source is still live. Signal is real.
Delta shows on 1–2 engines OR the cited source went archived after action. Signal is real but partial.
Delta is below noise floor (±1 citation) OR window overlapped with a model update. Honest "no measurable change."
Built for the communities AI actually cites
GEO Score formula and engine weights documented in our public docs.
We benchmark public AI responses. No buyer data, no tracking pixels.
You always review and post. We never touch your accounts or threads.
The methodology
Three layers turn a one-off prompt into a measurement your team can compare week-over-week. No black box — every step below is documented in our public docs.
Step 1 · Inputs
Same prompt. Same parameters. Same time-of-day window. No personal chat history, no recency bias from your own browsing. Every scan is reproducible — that is the only way week-over-week numbers mean anything.
The founder pain
Eight verbatim posts from r/SaaS, r/SEO, r/marketing, and r/Entrepreneur. The category complaint is consistent: every visibility dashboard names the gap. None close it. If one of these reads like your week — keep scrolling.
We rank #3 on Google for our main keyword. Good DA, solid backlinks, the whole SEO playbook executed perfectly. But when I asked ChatGPT 'What's the best [tool for our use case]?' — we weren't mentioned. Ever. Our competitor (who ranks BELOW us on Google) got recommended 78% of the time. Us? 0%.
My site ranks top 3 for a bunch of good keywords in regular Google search, traffic is steady around 5k organic visits a month, but when I check AI tools like Perplexity or ChatGPT search, we get zero mentions. Not even a nod. Your thoughts would save my sanity.
A lot of these tools feel like classic SEO dashboards, just rebranded for AI. Expensive plans, fuzzy scores, and not always clear what you're supposed to do with the data.
Same story: abstract metrics, black box scoring, and pricing that assumes you'll pay forever just to "keep an eye" on things you don't fully control anyway. Missing anything actionable beyond "you appeared X times."
If AI visibility tools can't tie mentions to traffic or signups, they're just dopamine dashboards.
Maybe it's already part of the deal but what happens after the alert? If your tool flags a problem but provides no recovery protocol, you're not finished building. Awareness without solution just creates more work.
Manual checks feel pointless at scale.
Pay attention to WHICH sources get cited when your competitors show up. That's basically a roadmap of where you need to be mentioned. If ChatGPT keeps citing some specific comparison blog when recommending your competitor, that's a target for you to get included.
The invisible loss
Traditional analytics starts after a click. AI-mediated discovery shapes the shortlist before a click exists. If your brand is missing from AI answers, you can lose awareness and consideration before analytics can attribute the loss.
Your dashboard reports 1.2% conversion. The honest number is "we got the click from the 12 buyers AI did not eliminate first." The 988 are demand that disappeared before any pixel could fire.

FAQ
Straight answers on methodology, limits, and what this product is — and is not.
Personal chats vary based on history, memory, timing, follow-ups, and model behavior. GEO Tracker AI does not try to replicate one person's chat. It uses a controlled benchmark setup so teams can compare results across runs and over time.
Free audit shows you where AI cites your competitors instead of you. Pro and Business unlock the drafts, the etiquette guards, and the 14-day citation-delta on every action you mark posted.
