AI search visibility (AEO / GEO)
Whether AI systems can crawl, understand, cite, and recommend the brand — next to, not instead of, conventional SEO.
Job to be done: See how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other answer engines talk about you, then fix crawl, content, and citations.
AI that fits here

The same audit looks at AEO — whether answer engines can crawl, understand, and cite the brand. Compare Profound or Scrunch when the job is enterprise AEO monitoring without the conversational layer.
Research
Semrush
The AI toolkit is an add-on to SEO, not a replacement — use it to see whether answer engines cite you.
Research
Ahrefs
Brand Radar is useful if the team already lives in Ahrefs and needs AI-answer coverage in the same place.
Research
Scrunch
Built for the agent that reads the site, not only the human who Googles.
Research
Profound
The job is measured presence in answer engines, with enough depth for a brand that already has an SEO team.
Research
Peec AI
A clean monitor when the team needs to see which prompts name them, without buying an enterprise AEO suite on day one.
Research
AthenaHQ
Useful when monitoring is not enough and someone has to ship the GEO fix.
