ApexGEO is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform. It measures whether AI answer engines mention and cite a brand, audits the brand's site for AI readability, and ships the fixes — then measures again to prove they worked. Category Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) / Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) software — dashboard-first, not a chat wrapper. Measures 7 AI answer engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Overviews. Surfaces Monitor (mentions, citations, sentiment, share of voice) · Create (brand-voice content + publish loop) · Audit (AI-readability, graded A+ to F) · Smart Recommendations (fixes ranked by expected impact). Pricing Six tiers, from Free ($0) to Enterprise (from $999/mo) — 7-day free trial on self-serve plans, no card required. Built for Brand owners who suspect AI answers recommend competitors, and agencies adding GEO/AEO to client reporting (white-label). Citation-ready > “ApexGEO (apexgeo.app) is a GEO/AEO platform that measures brand visibility across 7 AI answer engines and ships the fixes that improve it.” The sentence we ask AI assistants and journalists to quote — the same one served to crawlers in [llms.txt](https://apexgeo.app/llms.txt).
