GEO / AEO software
GEO software that ships an action plan
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) software helps a brand become more visible in AI-generated answers. Answerly combines monitoring across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews (Google AI Mode is in progress). with diagnosis — which prompts and competitors you lose — and action: a content plan grounded in the live SERP. It measures first, then tells you what to change, with the evidence behind each recommendation.
GEO vs AEO vs SEO
SEO optimizes for ranked links. AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) optimize for being named and cited inside an answer. They share fundamentals — clear content, strong entities, trustworthy sources — but differ on measurement: there is no single AI rank, so GEO needs sampling and stated uncertainty instead of a position number.
What a defensible GEO audit contains
Which prompts were tested, on which engines, how many runs, the mention and citation rates with error bars, the competitor gaps, and the sources each answer drew from. An invented "GEO score" with no stated method is not an audit; it is a number that cannot be defended when a client asks how it was produced.
Diagnosis before recommendations
Advice like "add schema" or "publish more content" is guesswork until you know which prompts you lose and to whom. Answerly starts from the measured gaps, so the recommendation list is derived from your actual visibility rather than a generic checklist.
Grounded briefs, not templates
For each gap, the brief is grounded in the live top-10 SERP for that query: the answer to give, the structure to use and the entity claims to cover come from what already gets cited. That is the landscape you have to beat, and it changes by query.
Prove the change worked
Briefs carry status — planned, published, rescan — and a follow-up scan re-measures the prompt after the page ships. Weighted against the baseline, that is how you show a change moved the metric instead of asserting it.
What software cannot promise
No tool can guarantee that a model will cite you. Answerly improves the odds by finding real gaps and grounding the fix in evidence, and it says so plainly — a vendor promising guaranteed AI placement is describing something they cannot control.

FAQ
What is the difference between GEO, AEO and SEO?
SEO targets ranked search results; AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) target being mentioned and cited inside AI answers. They share content fundamentals but measure success differently.
What should a GEO audit include?
Tested prompts, engines, run counts, mention and citation rates with margin of error, competitor gaps, cited sources, and a prioritized action plan — all backed by the raw answers.
Can software guarantee I get cited by AI?
No honest tool can guarantee placement. Answerly measures, finds gaps and grounds recommendations in live SERP evidence; it improves your odds, it does not promise an outcome.
Does GEO replace SEO?
No. Ranked results still drive traffic, and the same content and entity work usually supports both. GEO adds a second scoreboard for the answers where no click happens.
