You can check whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews mention your brand for free, in your browser, in about a minute. Here are the free AEO/GEO visibility checkers and Chrome extensions worth using in 2026, what each measures, and how to turn a score into a plan.

Most GEO buying decisions start with the wrong question: which tool monitors the most AI platforms. Here is a practical checklist for evaluating whether a GEO solution actually fits your industry.
Security buyers research vendors in AI tools before a sales rep ever hears from them. The way a CISO interrogates ChatGPT looks nothing like how a marketer does. Here is what GEO actually looks like for cybersecurity.
SEO became a horizontal layer because its substrate was uniform: one ranking algorithm, one signal set, one results format. GEO can't collapse that way. Here is the architectural reason.
