What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the process of optimizing your brand content so that AI models (like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) understand your value proposition and recommend you when users ask relevant questions.

How does LLMMonitor track visibility?

We deploy autonomous agents that query various LLMs with your target prompts, then analyze responses to see if your brand is mentioned, the sentiment, and the sources used.

Can I track my competitors?

Absolutely. You can track any brand or URL to see their share of voice in AI search results compared to yours.

Why should I care about AI recommendations?

Traditional search click-through rates are dropping as users migrate to LLMs for immediate answers. If your brand is not recommended by AI, you are missing out on the fastest-growing search demographic.

Which LLMs do you support?

We currently support ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), and Claude (Anthropic). We are constantly adding new models.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, our Free plan lets you scan your brand with up to 3 prompts at no cost — no credit card required.
