Know when AI enginesactually cite you.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) measures your citation share inside AI answers instead of guessing at it. Search Console doesn't track ChatGPT. GA doesn't see Perplexity. SEORav polls all four major engines every week with the prompts your buyers actually type, extracts every cited URL, attributes it to you or a competitor, and stores the full history so you can see the weeks you win and the weeks somebody else takes the citation.
Ask the engines. See who they cite.
Watch it run in the real dashboard: who cited you, who cited a rival. Pause or jump to any step to replay it.
You track the question your buyers actually ask an AI, not a keyword.
A loop, not a dashboard.
GEO is not a report you stare at. It is a weekly loop that turns a missed citation into a fix, then checks whether the fix worked.
Ask
We run your prompts on all four engines every week, exactly as a buyer would.
Measure
We record who got cited on each engine, you or a competitor, with the full response kept as evidence.
Find the gap
For a prompt that cited someone else, we read the winning page and write the brief to take it back.
Fix
The brief hands straight to the writer. Next week the same prompt runs again and you watch the score move.
Four engines. Every prompt that matters.
You tell us the questions your buyers ask. We watch how the engines answer them, and who they reach for.
The questions buyers type
Track up to 30 prompts a site, classified by intent, run daily or weekly on the schedule you set.
ChatGPT · Perplexity · Claude · Gemini
Each weighted differently and tracked on its own, with several samples per run so a one-shot answer can't mislead you.
Competitors you didn't name
We surface every domain the engines keep citing in your space, including the ones you weren't watching.
A week you won. A week you lost.
Both weeks polled the same prompt set against the same four engines. The dashboard pulls out exactly what changed, so you can decide which articles to ship next instead of guessing.
You took back "best CRM for early-stage startups"
"ChatGPT and Perplexity both cited your refreshed pillar at position 1. Claude moved you up from 'not cited' to 'cited as the primary source'."
- +2 prompts newly owned vs last week ("best CRM under $30/seat", "CRM for solo founders")
- Citation share on ChatGPT: 80% (4/5 samples)
- Auto-discovered competitor "Folk" cited 2×, added to tracked list
- Average position across engines moved from 3.4 → 1.6
- Neutral citations (Wikipedia, HBR) stable, so your gains are at competitors' expense, not third-parties'
- Hand-off to AEO: 3 articles flagged for refresh based on prompts you newly own
You lost "CRM with email automation"
"Perplexity moved a Buffer-published comparison into position 1. Your equivalent article is structurally older. The answer-first opening is 140 words, and the FAQ schema is missing 2 questions the SERP surfaces."
- -2 prompts vs last week ("CRM with email automation", "automated CRM for founders")
- Citation share on Gemini dropped to 0/3 samples, with a schema mismatch detected on your competing page
- New competitor cited: "Mailmodo", surfaced as auto-discovered and awaiting approval
- Top cited competitor article: 8 weeks newer than yours, scored 94 on AEO simulation
- Recommended action queued: refresh the pillar article + add the two missing FAQ entries
- Hand-off to AEO: gap brief pre-written, ready for one-click regen
Tools you already have vs the question they never answer.
Search Console, GA, Plausible, and Ahrefs are all great at their job, and all blind to AI engines. The five questions below decide whether your content strategy is working in 2026, and only GEO answers them.
GEO doesn't replace analytics. It answers the questions the analytics tools never could.
GEO, answered.
Do you use the engines' official APIs?
A mix of official APIs where available and proxied public-web queries for the rest, routed through Brightdata so we look like a normal user rather than a scraper. The aim is to reproduce what an actual buyer would see. Anything we do behind the scenes is invisible in the report.
How is citation attribution handled?
Every cited URL is parsed and the host is matched against the domain you onboarded with. Subdomains are handled, so blog.example.com counts as you if you told us example.com is yours. Short links and known redirect chains resolve to the real article before attribution.
What happens when an engine response is non-deterministic?
We poll multiple samples per prompt per run. The dashboard shows the consensus citation set plus the variance. A citation appearing in 4/5 samples reads very differently from one appearing in 1/5, and you always see both.
How is GEO different from 'AI Overviews' tracking tools?
AI Overviews tracking covers one surface (Google AIO). GEO covers four: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Together they account for the bulk of conversational-search traffic in 2026. You can’t infer ChatGPT citation behaviour from Google AIO. The prompts and the citation rules are different.
Can I add competitors I discover through the report?
Yes. Auto-discovered competitors are surfaced one row at a time. Approve the ones that matter and they get tracked alongside the ones you configured at signup. The rest sit in a side panel; they don’t pollute the main view.
How does GEO pair with AEO?
GEO tells you which prompts you don’t own and shows you the page the engine cited instead. AEO is the part where you ship a new article to take that citation, with voice, schema, and scorecard handled. The two work as one measurement-and-correction loop, not two products bolted together.
