How GEOpta works

People used to Google everything. Now they ask AI — “what's the best tool for…”, “is X better than Y?” — and the assistant just tells them an answer, naming a brand or two.

The question is simple: when AI answers, does it recommend you — or your competitor?

GEOpta asks the major AI engines the real questions your buyers ask, reads their actual answers, and shows you exactly where you show up, where you're invisible, and what to do about it.

Think of it as “Google Search Console”, but for the AI answers that are quietly replacing search.

Getting started

You can run your first scan in under two minutes:

1

Add your brand

Open Client setup and enter your brand name, website and category (e.g. “CRM software”). Add competitors if you know them.

2

Add a few prompts

Prompts are the real questions buyers ask AI — like “best CRM for startups”. Type your own, or hit ✨ Generate and let AI write them for you.

3

Run a scan

Click Run Scan. GEOpta asks every major AI engine your prompts and scores how visible your brand is — in seconds.

No prompts yet? The app will offer to generate them for you the moment you hit Run Scan.

Key terms, in plain English

A few words you'll see around the app:

Prompt

A question a buyer types into AI, e.g. “best project tool for small teams”. These are what we test.

AI engine

An AI assistant that answers questions — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek, plus surfaces like Google AI Overviews and Copilot.

Visibility score

A 0–100 grade for how often and how prominently AI recommends your brand across your prompts.

Mention

AI named your brand in its answer. More mentions = more visibility.

Citation

AI linked to a source (a website) to back up its answer. Being a cited source is gold.

Share of voice

Your slice of all brand mentions in your category vs your rivals — who AI talks about most.

Hallucination

When AI says something false about you (wrong price, wrong feature). We flag these so you can fix them.

Improve your AI visibility

Once you know where you stand, here's how to climb:

  • Publish clear comparison & FAQ pages — AI loves quoting head-to-head answers (“X vs Y”).
  • Get cited on trusted sources — the sites AI already trusts in your category (check the Citations tab).
  • Keep your facts straight — fix anything the Accuracy tab flags as wrong or outdated.
  • Make your site AI-readable — paste the schema & llms.txt from the On-site kit.
  • Show up where rivals get recommended — work the Off-site task board.
  • Re-scan and watch the trend — proof your work is paying off.

Frequently asked

Is this just SEO?
No. SEO gets you ranked on Google's list of links. GEOpta is about AI answers — when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question and it recommends a brand directly. Different game, growing fast.
How is this different from my Google ranking?
Google shows ten links and the user picks. AI gives one answer and names a few brands. If you're not in that answer, you're invisible — even if you rank #1 on Google.
Does running a scan cost money?
A live scan uses one scan from your monthly plan (it calls real AI engines). A Demo is free and just previews the dashboard with sample data. We always ask for confirmation before anything that costs credits.
Which AI engines do you check?
ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek — the engines real buyers use most. We also map Google AI Overviews, Copilot and regional models, and you can track answers in 12 languages.
How often should I scan?
Monthly is plenty for most brands; weekly if you're actively improving. AI answers shift over time, so re-scanning shows whether your changes worked.
Can I track other languages and countries?
Yes — the Languages tab runs your prompts localized into Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Bahasa, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and more, then compares each market to your English baseline. AI answers change by language, so this finds blind spots no English-only tool can.
Can GEOpta fix my site, not just measure it?
Yes. The On-site kit generates schema, llms.txt and FAQs; the Deploy tab pushes them live in one click via a Cloudflare worker, a WordPress plugin or a one-line snippet — and we host them so they stay fresh. The GEO Sandbox even predicts a draft's citation lift before you publish.
What is the auto-fix loop?
When your visibility drops, the GEO agent automatically drafts a fix (diagnosis + fresh assets + plan). You approve, we deploy it live, and the next scan measures the recovery — a closed diagnose → generate → deploy → measure loop.
Is there an API?
Yes. Create API keys under Developer & API to pull your GEO data into Looker, GA4, HubSpot or your own app via the REST API, and add outbound webhooks to push scan, alert and auto-fix events into Slack.
Can I use the API without a subscription?
Yes — API access is pay-as-you-go. Create a free account, mint an API key, and buy scan credits (one-time packs that never expire). Read endpoints are free; each /v1/.../scan uses one credit. No monthly subscription required. Paid plans simply include a monthly scan allowance that your API calls can also draw from.
Can I prove ROI to justify the spend?
The ROI & Budget tab tracks the full funnel — AI referral → signup → revenue → LTV per engine — and a budget optimizer ranks which action returns the most visibility per rupee.
Can you use this for my clients?
Yes. On the Agency plan you can white-label the dashboard, share read-only client portals, auto-generate sales proposals to win new clients, and run bulk scans across your whole book.
Can my whole team share a workspace?
Yes, on Enterprise. Open Settings → Team & access and invite teammates by email with a role: Owner (full control + billing), Admin (manage the workspace & team), Member (run scans & edit) or Viewer (read-only). Invited people join the moment they sign in, and if you set an SSO email domain anyone from that domain auto-joins. People who belong to more than one workspace get a switcher at the top of Settings.
How do I enable Sign in with Google (SSO)?
SSO is an Enterprise feature and is set up once by the platform operator. 1) In the Google Cloud Console → Credentials, configure the OAuth consent screen (External; scopes openid email profile; authorized domain geopta.com). 2) Create an OAuth client ID of type Web application with authorized origin https://geopta.com and redirect URI https://geopta.com/auth/google/callback (it must match exactly). 3) Copy the Client ID + Client secret into your host's environment as GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET and redeploy. The Continue with Google button then appears on the sign-in page automatically. Tip: a redirect_uri_mismatch error means the registered URI doesn't exactly equal your app's /auth/google/callback.
How accurate are the results?
We send real prompts to the live AI engines and read their actual answers — no guessing. Results reflect exactly what those AIs said at scan time.
What if I want a refund?
See our Refund Policy, or just email hello@geopta.com — we're reasonable.
