# GEO Monitor — Weekly AI answer-engine monitoring across five engines, with every full answer stored as evidence. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/directree-geo-monitor (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-14 GEO Monitor is an AI answer-engine visibility tracker built by the directree software directory. It puts brand-free buyer questions to the engines and keeps every full response, so each number on the dashboard opens onto the answer behind it. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://directree.io/geo | | Price | from $29/month billed monthly, $24.17/month billed annually | | Free trial | Partly | Free GEO Check only: three brand-free buyer questions run on ChatGPT with web search, no account and no card, results cached 30 days per website, category or city. The monitoring product has no standing $0 plan, and the vendor states there is no trial. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Its whole purpose: brand-free buyer questions are put to the answer engines on a weekly schedule and every full response is stored, on all four paid plans. > GEO Monitor asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews the questions your buyers ask, every week, and keeps every answer. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Hero paragraph under 'Know what ChatGPT says when buyers ask about you' **Optimises your content** · Partly — GEO Monitor never audits your own pages; the separate one-time SEO Content Build Pack crawls your public site and maps existing coverage, but it only proposes new complementary pages rather than changes to the ones you have. > Your public pages are checked before we recommend complementary content. > — https://www.directree.io/seo-build · 'Evidence first' section, 'Observed site coverage' card **Generates content** · Partly — The monitoring plans write nothing; writing is sold separately as a one-time pack of 23 pieces at a $39 launch price, regular $79, delivered as files for you to review. > The paid pack unlocks all 23 written pieces: landing pages, FAQ pages, docs content, and supporting articles. > — https://www.directree.io/seo-build · 'Questions, answered honestly' FAQ, 'What does the paid pack include?' **Publishes to your site** · No — Nothing is pushed live anywhere: the monitoring product only reads engines, and the content pack explicitly ships as a ZIP download instead of connecting to a CMS. > No. The Build Pack plans only new complementary pages. It does not rewrite your existing pages or require access to your CMS. > — https://www.directree.io/seo-build · 'Questions, answered honestly' FAQ, 'Will it rewrite my existing site?' **Technical AEO** · Partly — GEO Monitor itself does no schema, llms.txt or crawler-directive work and the vendor calls it a measurement tool; only the separate content pack ships JSON-LD alongside the pages it writes. > JSON-LD structured data > — https://www.directree.io/seo-build · 'A real pack, open for inspection' section, 'Every piece ships publish-ready' format list, third item **Done-for-you service** · Partly — A human layer exists only from the $149 Managed plan upward, where directree writes the question set and emails a monthly summary; Starter and Pro get setup help but no ongoing service. > directree writes and maintains the buyer questions and the competitor list, with setup done within 2 business days of subscribing. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · Plans section, Managed paragraph ## Answer engines **ChatGPT** · Yes — Queried on every tier including the free three-question check, which the vendor says runs the same ChatGPT model the Starter plan uses for its ChatGPT cells. > ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Plans section, GEO Starter card, third feature bullet **Perplexity** · Yes — Included from the $29 Starter plan alongside ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, with no per-engine add-on charged on any tier. > ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Plans section, GEO Starter card, third feature bullet **Gemini** · Partly — Not on the $29 Starter plan: Gemini arrives only at Pro and above, which the vendor states plainly as the difference between three engines and five. > 50 buyer questions across 5 engines, adding Gemini and Claude > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Plans section, GEO Pro card, first feature bullet **Google AI Overviews** · Yes — Google AI Overviews is one of the three engines in the entry plan, so it is covered on every paid tier without an add-on. > ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Plans section, GEO Starter card, third feature bullet **Google AI Mode** · No — Google AI Mode appears nowhere in the vendor's engine list: the named five are ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, and the plan bullets count exactly five. > Most tools publish a friendly entry price and then charge per engine. Pro and above include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews with no add-ons. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · 'Five engines in the base price' block below the plan cards **Claude** · Partly — Claude is a Pro-and-above engine; a Starter subscriber at $29 does not get it, and the vendor sells no per-engine add-on to add it lower down. > 50 buyer questions across 5 engines, adding Gemini and Claude > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Plans section, GEO Pro card, first feature bullet **Microsoft Copilot** · No — The vendor names Microsoft Copilot as something it deliberately does not do, and points buyers at Otterly instead for that coverage. > What we do not offer: daily scans, Microsoft Copilot, or an API. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Comparison table footnote, under 'How GEO Monitor compares with Otterly, Profound and Peec AI' **Grok** · No — Grok is absent from the five engines the vendor enumerates for Pro and above, and no plan, add-on or docs page mentions it. > Most tools publish a friendly entry price and then charge per engine. Pro and above include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews with no add-ons. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · 'Five engines in the base price' block below the plan cards **DeepSeek** · No — DeepSeek is not among the five engines the vendor lists as included, and the plan bullets cap coverage at those five on every tier. > Most tools publish a friendly entry price and then charge per engine. Pro and above include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews with no add-ons. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · 'Five engines in the base price' block below the plan cards **Meta AI** · No — Meta AI is outside the enumerated five-engine set; the vendor sells engine coverage as a fixed list rather than as selectable add-ons. > Most tools publish a friendly entry price and then charge per engine. Pro and above include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews with no add-ons. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · 'Five engines in the base price' block below the plan cards **Coverage in the vendor’s words** · Yes — Coverage is stated as a closed five-engine list with an explicit tier split: three engines on Starter, all five from Pro upward, and no per-engine surcharge. > Most tools publish a friendly entry price and then charge per engine. Pro and above include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews with no add-ons. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · 'Five engines in the base price' block below the plan cards ## What it reports **Names the cited sources** · Yes — Cited sources are a headline feature, though Starter shows only the cited domains while full citation URLs and the missing-from gap list start at Pro. > It reports whether your brand appeared, where it appeared, competitors named alongside it, and the citations the engine used. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · 'What GEO Monitor measures' section, second sentence **Competitor tracking** · Yes — Named rivals are tracked in the same stored answers, capped at three competitors on Starter and ten on Pro, Managed and each Agency client product. > 3 named competitors, email alerts and reports > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Plans section, GEO Starter card, fifth feature bullet **Brand sentiment** · No — No attribute or sentiment analysis: the vendor's own inventory of what it reports stops at presence, position, competitors and citations, with factual errors handled separately by Accuracy Watch. > It reports whether your brand appeared, where it appeared, competitors named alongside it, and the citations the engine used. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · 'What GEO Monitor measures' section, second sentence **Recommendations** · Partly — Starter only reports. Pro adds the gap list of pages you are missing from, and Managed emails three recommended actions a month, but the vendor refuses to promise placement. > Full citation URLs and the gap list of pages you are missing from > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Plans section, GEO Pro card, second feature bullet **AI crawler analytics** · No — It never touches your site or its logs; the documented output is limited to engine answers, competitors and citations, so AI bot crawl data is not part of the product. > It reports whether your brand appeared, where it appeared, competitors named alongside it, and the citations the engine used. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · 'What GEO Monitor measures' section, second sentence **Wrong answers about you** · Partly — Accuracy Watch flags engines stating your facts wrongly, but it is withheld from the $29 Starter plan and only ships with Pro, Managed and Agency. > Accuracy Watch: when an engine gets your facts wrong (Pro) > — https://www.directree.io/geo · 'A dashboard that shows its work' feature list, final bullet ## Plans and signing up **Prompt or credit allowance** · Yes — Volume is metered in buyer questions per product: 15 on Starter, 50 on Pro, 75 on Managed and 30 per client product on Agency, extendable in $19 blocks of 25. > Add-ons are available on every paid plan from the dashboard: +25 questions per product for $19 a month and +1 product for $19 a month. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · Plans section, add-ons paragraph **Projects or brands** · Partly — One product per subscription by default; a second brand costs $19 a month as a dashboard add-on, and only the $299 Agency plan carries a roster of ten client products. > Add-ons are available on every paid plan from the dashboard: +25 questions per product for $19 a month and +1 product for $19 a month. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · Plans section, add-ons paragraph **Countries** · Partly — Place is handled inside the question set rather than as engine locales, and city or region targeting is listed as a Managed-tier feature; several regions at once is a Custom quote. > Local businesses get city or region targeting in their question set. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · Plans section, Managed paragraph, final sentence **How often it checks** · Yes — Weekly on every plan by design, with one manual re-scan a month on Starter; anything more frequent than weekly is explicitly a Custom, priced-on-request setup. > All plans scan weekly. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-monitor · Plans section, cadence paragraph, opening sentence **Card required to start** · No — The free three-question check runs with no account and therefore no card; there is no trial of the paid plans to attach a card to in the first place. > Results are cached for 30 days per website, category or city, and the check is free with no account. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/geo-check-tool · 'How it works' section, closing paragraph **Self-serve signup** · Yes — Starter and Pro are named as self-serve and all four plans check out on the site with tax added at checkout; only the Custom tier requires emailing the vendor. > Starter and Pro are self-serve. > — https://www.directree.io/pricing · 'A separate product line: GEO Monitor' introduction paragraph ## Access and integrations **API** · No — The vendor lists an API among the three things it does not offer; the separate Directree Plus agent API reads and writes directory listings only and exposes no GEO Monitor data. > What we do not offer: daily scans, Microsoft Copilot, or an API. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Comparison table footnote, under 'How GEO Monitor compares with Otterly, Profound and Peec AI' **MCP server** · No — No agent-queryable surface for monitoring data: GEO Monitor ships no API at all, and the company's separate listing API documents MCP as outside its beta. > The beta does not provide browser cross-origin access or an OAuth/MCP connection flow. > — https://www.directree.io/docs/agent-api · 'Errors and retries' section, closing sentence **BI export** · No — Data leaves the product only as email and Slack alerts, white-label reports and a print-to-PDF view; with no API there is no documented route into a warehouse or BI tool. > What we do not offer: daily scans, Microsoft Copilot, or an API. > — https://www.directree.io/geo · Comparison table footnote, under 'How GEO Monitor compares with Otterly, Profound and Peec AI' ## Coverage elsewhere | Source | Kind | Read | | --- | --- | --- | | martechseries.com | Independent source | 2026-08-23 | ## CitedIndex in AI answers 0 of 4 answers cite CitedIndex. | Engine | Result | Question | Asked on | Other sources | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ChatGPT | Does not cite CitedIndex | GEO Monitor alternatives | 2026-10-12 | paralect.com, toolsolved.com, blog.hubspot.com, amicited.com, llmpulse.ai, scalenut.com | | Claude | Does not cite CitedIndex | directree GEO Monitor alternatives | 2026-09-04 | okara.ai, aiclicks.io, workduo.ai, geoscout.pro | | Gemini | Does not cite CitedIndex | directree GEO Monitor alternatives | 2026-09-04 | martechseries.com, workduo.ai, rebootonline.com, groundzy.com, davey.com, alliancebioversityciat.org | | Perplexity | Does not cite CitedIndex | GEO Monitor alternatives | 2026-10-12 | geoly.ai, directree.io, wlgeo.com, ailabsaudit.com, licheo.com, aiclicks.io | ## What changed - 2026-09-14 — Capabilities · Free tier - 2026-09-01 — Capabilities · Free tier - 2026-08-31 — Capabilities · Free tier · Price - 2026-08-23 — Documentation link · Summary · Tagline - 2026-08-19 — Summary ## Corrections If you represent GEO Monitor, or anything here is wrong or out of date, send a correction with a source.
