An early bolt-on: prompt coverage is shallow today. May mature — not there yet. Use instead: Profound if you need depth now.

GEO (generative engine optimization) tools get your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews. The category splits into measurement platforms that track your share of AI answers and execution systems that also create the content which wins those citations.
A tracking dashboard shows you losing; only shipped content changes the score. Decide upfront whether you're buying a scoreboard (Profound, Peec) or a program (Ryze) — they are different purchases with different owners.
Citation rates swing wildly with how buyers phrase questions. Tools that test 20 generic prompts miss the long tail where most buying questions live. Ask vendors how many prompts per market, and who writes them.
ChatGPT search grounds on Bing. If a GEO tool doesn't audit your Bing indexation and IndexNow setup, it's measuring a game you haven't entered.
Knowing you were mentioned is trivia; knowing which exact URL got cited, for which query, is strategy. Tools that don't log cited URLs can't guide content work.
Entry monitoring starts around $39/mo (Otterly), agency-grade tracking at €90–$200/mo (Peec), and enterprise measurement is custom five-figure territory (Profound, Scrunch). Execution-inclusive platforms run $89–$250/mo and displace content spend rather than tooling spend. The category is young enough that annual lock-ins deserve skepticism — capabilities change quarterly.
The single most replicated finding: pages whose titles mirror the buyer's query get cited several times more often than neutral titles with identical content.
Traffic from ChatGPT citations converts at rates paid teams envy, because the answer pre-sells — which finally gave GEO a revenue line and real budgets.
SEO suites bolted on AI-visibility modules, while the specialists went deeper on prompt coverage. The bolt-ons remain shallow; the gap is widening, not closing.

Ryze — the only one covering monitoring and execution in one loop. Caveat: pure-measurement buyers should look at Profound or Peec.
Pages whose titles mirror the buyer query, crawlable to Bing, with answer-first intros. Measurement tools show the gap; content closes it.
