What this collection covers
All ten query ChatGPT. The technical half is where they differ most. AEOlens and AthenaHQ handle llms.txt and robots.txt for AI crawlers. Adobe Brand Visibility and BrightEdge both work at the CDN edge. 5W Public Relations covers schema only, and its site never mentions llms.txt or crawler directives.
The other split is who does the work. AEO Engine, Bttr., 5W Public Relations and Brandlight sell it as a managed service. AEO Engine starts at $1,597/month on its Growth plan. Bttr. has an entry price of 3500 USD a month. AEOlens, AthenaHQ, Bloomiro and BabyLoveGrowth offer self-serve signup, so your own team runs them.
What it takes to be on this list
Every product here answers yes to two questions. It queries ChatGPT about a brand. It also does technical AEO work, meaning schema, llms.txt or directives for AI crawlers. Other GEO and content optimization tools do one of the two at most. The list runs alphabetically, not by rank.
Before buying, decide whether you need an audit that flags problems or a product or agency that writes the files and deploys the fixes. Then check the terms. Four members publish no price. Adobe's 30-day trial is open only to eligible Adobe customers. BrightEdge contracts run 12 to 36 months.
The 10 tools
5W Public Relations
PR agency with an AI visibility practice: citation source audits, GEO programs and monthly citation reporting.
On quote
Best for Funded brands that want earned, owned and paid PR bundled with a dedicated AI citation program under one agency.
A PR agency with a GEO practice, 5W Public Relations puts ChatGPT first in every engine list, including its client audit. Its technical side is schema, deployed in six named JSON-LD types, and llms.txt and crawler directives are never mentioned. Every engagement is custom-quoted after a contact form, and there is no public API.
Adobe Brand Visibility
Enterprise GEO application that measures AI-answer visibility and deploys page fixes to AI agents at the CDN edge.
On quote
Best for Enterprise brands already running Adobe Experience Cloud who need AI-answer visibility tied into their existing Adobe analytics stack.
Adobe Brand Visibility names ChatGPT in its Brand Presence platform filter and as one of three targets for its edge-deployed fixes. Technical checks flag robots.txt rules that block AI agents and content hidden in JavaScript. Adobe publishes no price. Third-party listings put the entry tier near $115,000 per year, and optimizations are capped at 1,000 per year.
AEO Engine
Managed answer-engine optimisation agency: technical SEO, schema, content, authority and AI visibility tracking.
From $1,597/month
Best for an ecommerce or B2B SaaS brand that wants content, schema, PR and authority built by a named AEO agency under a fixed monthly retainer
Run as an agency retainer with named strategists, AEO Engine queries ChatGPT directly with the client's own prompt set. Crawlability and schema governance are standing plan inclusions. Entry is Growth at $1,597/month. The Dominate tiers run on 90-day rolling terms, and the free AEO Checker needs a work email before it sends a report.
AEOlens
AEO/GEO platform combining a 48-check site audit with weekly buyer-question tracking across five AI engines.
Free, then $59/month
Best for Founders, growth marketers and SEO agencies that want to monitor AI citation readiness on their own domains or run AI visibility audits on client sites under their own brand.
Five models, ChatGPT named first, get 25 buyer-intent prompts per simulation run in AEOlens. Every plan includes free llms.txt and robots.txt generators, and the audit checks crawler access and schema. Starter costs $35/month. Copilot and DeepSeek are not in the simulation, and the Looker Studio and Power BI connectors are planned, not shipped.
AthenaHQ
AEO/GEO platform tracking brand visibility across 11 AI models, with content and technical actions.
Free, then $295/month
On every tier, including the free Essential plan, AthenaHQ queries ChatGPT, one of 11 AI models it tracks. Its technical work manages robots.txt and llms.txt for AI crawlers and audits schema, sitemap and indexing access. That work comes with the two paid tiers. The entry price is 295 USD a month.
BabyLoveGrowth
Automated SEO/AEO article production, backlink exchange and AI-answer visibility tracking for small teams.
From about $111/month
Best for lean marketing teams that want auto-published content
Weekly site audits in BabyLoveGrowth check llms.txt, robots.txt, sitemap and JSON-LD schema for AI crawlers, and ChatGPT is one of three models every tracked prompt goes to. Plans start at €99/month (about $111). Ongoing tracking leaves out Claude, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, and two independent reviews faulted the quality of its generated articles.
Bloomiro
SEO and AI answer visibility in one project, with scans, competitor gaps and prioritized tasks.
From $49/month
Best for SaaS marketing teams that want one dashboard
Saved prompts in Bloomiro run against six engines, with ChatGPT in the default selection. Its Site and Page Scans cover crawl access, robots rules and schema. Starter is $49/month. The scan page types are named for SaaS sites. The vendor says it is not a log-file or enterprise crawl suite, and there is no REST API.
Brandlight
Enterprise AI visibility platform sold as a managed program with dedicated AI strategists.
On quote
Best for Enterprise marketing leaders at Fortune 500 brands running AI-visibility as a strategic priority, with the budget and process for a sales-led engagement, plus the global agencies serving them.
Aimed by its own marketing at Fortune 500 CMOs, Brandlight lists ChatGPT first among its engines. A technical module inspects crawlability and metadata and reads server logs, and the vendor pitches schema and FAQ fixes as deliverables. No price is published, and there is no free trial or self-serve signup.
BrightEdge
Enterprise SEO and AEO platform for tracking and improving brand visibility across Google and AI search engines.
On quote
Best for Enterprise SEO teams tracking rankings and AI search visibility across markets
ChatGPT shows up twice in BrightEdge: AI Catalyst measures mentions and sentiment, and Instant checks ranking positions on demand. Its Schema Agent deploys JSON-LD as pages change, and Agent Edge serves verified AI agents a markdown version at the CDN. Vendr puts median annual spend around $50,000, and contracts run 12 to 36 months.
Bttr.
Agency-run AI search visibility: weekly citation tracking, pillar content, schema and per-engine moves.
From $3,500/month
An agency service, Bttr. keeps ChatGPT as one of four engines in its standing panel.
