GEO Is the New SEO: New $99/Month Tool Gets Your Business Named by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini
Sorank's new GEO software audits how your business shows up across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok — then hands you a page-by-page fix list so AI assistants start recommending you.
Search is changing: from links to answers
For twenty years, getting found meant ranking on Google. Now a growing share of buying decisions starts with a question typed into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or Grok — and the AI answers with business names, not links. If your business isn't the one being named, you're invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel in history. The discipline of getting cited by AI is called GEO: generative engine optimization.
What Sorank's GEO tools do
Sorank just launched a $99-a-month toolkit built for exactly this. It audits how a business appears across all five major AI platforms, then returns a page-by-page fix list instead of generic SEO advice. No vague "create great content" guidance — specific pages, specific fixes.
The numbers behind the bet
Sorank reports more than 5,000 users, 301,000 prompts tracked, and 1.8 million AI mentions logged. That dataset is the product as much as the software: it reveals the patterns in what AI assistants choose to cite — and what they skip.
The core insight: state facts, skip the fluff
Sorank's central finding is blunt: AI answers name the businesses that state pricing and service areas as plain facts, and skip the ones burying them in marketing copy. AI models don't click through to interpret your clever headline. They extract structured facts. If your prices, locations, hours, and services aren't stated plainly on your pages, the AI simply can't recommend you with confidence — so it recommends a competitor that did.
What this means for your business
Audit your AI visibility now. Ask ChatGPT and Perplexity directly: "Who are the best [your service] providers in [your city]?" If you're not named, you have a GEO problem regardless of your Google ranking.
Rewrite key pages as fact sheets. Put pricing, service areas, and offerings in plain, direct language on the pages that matter. Marketing poetry is for humans; AI citations run on facts.
Track it monthly. AI answers shift as models retrain. A $99/month audit that shows whether you're gaining or losing AI mentions is cheap competitive intelligence — the businesses watching this now will own the channel when it matures.
