## What it does

**Monitors AI answers** · Yes — AI Visibility is a first-class feature: it tracks brand mentions and cited URLs across AI engines daily and alerts when share of voice moves, and it is explicitly separate from the content-fixing feature.

> Yes. AI Visibility tracks where you show up across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI on a daily cadence, and alerts you when your share of voice moves.
> — https://www.frase.io · Common questions, "Does Frase monitor whether AI cites me?"

**Optimises your content** · Yes — Existing pages can be imported by URL, scored for AI search against current winners, and returned with a named list of changes; site audits produce a ranked fix pack.

> Paste a live URL and Frase imports the page, scores it for AI search against what is winning answers now, and shows where an older post is going uncited.
> — https://www.frase.io/features/geo-content-optimization · Questions about GEO content optimization, "Can I optimize content I have already published?"

**Generates content** · Yes — Frase researches a topic and produces a finished draft with images in a learned or configured brand voice, metered as a monthly article allowance per plan.

> Frase studies what already ranks for your topic, then drafts and optimizes the piece in your voice. You get a finished draft, not an outline.
> — https://www.frase.io/pricing · What a month on Frase looks like, "New content, researched and drafted"

**Publishes to your site** · Yes — Finished posts push live to four third-party CMSes or to the vendor's own hosted CMS, scheduled and with schema attached, and this is included from the entry plan upward.

> Frase publishes to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, and Wix, or hosts the page on FraseCMS. Scheduled, formatted, schema attached. No copy and paste, no migration.
> — https://www.frase.io · "What Frase does, all week" section, "Frase publishes to your CMS."

**Technical AEO** · Yes — Pages published on the vendor's own CMS ship structured data and an llms.txt file automatically, including on its free hosting tier; on third-party CMSes schema is attached at publish time.

> Structured data and llms.txt on every page
> — https://www.frase.io/pricing · FraseCMS hosting tiers, Free plan bullet list

**Done-for-you service** · No — This is software agencies run themselves rather than a done-for-you service; the vendor stresses the top self-serve plan needs no onboarding call, with people attached only as an Enterprise account manager.

> Run the loop across every client site, share the workspace with your team, and export client-ready reports. Scale is fully self-serve, so you can have it running before your next client call.

## Answer engines

**ChatGPT** · Yes — ChatGPT is tracked on every paid tier including the entry plan, and is one of only two engines available on that entry plan.

> — https://www.frase.io/pricing · Professional plan card, feature bullet list

**Gemini** · Partly — Gemini monitoring exists but is reserved for the third tier; the entry and mid plans list only ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity in the engines-tracked row.

> — https://www.frase.io/pricing · Scale plan card, feature bullet list

> — https://www.frase.io/features/api-integrations · "What the API does" section, "SERP analysis on demand"

> — https://www.frase.io/features/ai-visibility · "AI visibility tracking capabilities" table, Monitoring row

**Recommendations** · Yes — Each page gets a GEO score plus named, plain-language changes to raise it, re-scored as you edit, so the tool prescribes rather than only reporting.

> | Domains | 1 | 5 | 10 | Custom |

> — https://www.frase.io/features/ai-visibility · "AI visibility tracking capabilities" table, Geographic targeting row

**How often it checks** · Yes — Prompts are checked daily with alerts on visibility change, and the vendor contrasts this with waiting for a monthly report; Content Guard watches rankings on the same daily rhythm.

> — https://www.frase.io/features/api-integrations · Questions about the Frase API, "Which plans include API access?"

**MCP server** · Yes — A hosted MCP server plus a CLI lets an assistant run research, drafting, scoring, publishing and AI-visibility queries; it is on every plan and the trial, within the shared API request cap.

> — https://www.frase.io/pricing · "Bring your own agent." block below the plan cards

**BI export** · Partly — Data leaves as JSON over the API and as exportable client-ready reports from the Scale tier up, but no connector for Looker, Power BI or a warehouse is documented anywhere on the site.
