Growleads is a B2B demand generation agency whose GEO + AEO service builds cornerstone content, schema and source-quality signals so client brands are cited in AI answers. Engagements are quoted per scope after a strategy call.

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Website | https://growleads.io |
| Price | We do not publish a number because every engagement is sized to the query map depth, cornerstone content volume, and source-quality work scope. |
| Free trial | Partly |

A free 30-minute strategy call that includes a baseline citation audit of the buyer's category across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews. No card, no commitment, and no standing free plan; paid engagements carry a 90-day minimum then run month-to-month.

## What it does

**Monitors AI answers** · Yes — The delivery team audits each tracked buyer query across the AI engines every week, capturing who is cited and how the answer moves, and publishes the trend in a Looker Studio dashboard the client owns.

> Weekly audit of each tracked query across the five major AI engines. Captures who is cited, what the AI answer looks like, and how it changes week over week. Trend lines published in Looker Studio.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · The infrastructure underneath section, item 'B · AI citation tracker'

**Optimises your content** · Partly — They rework the client's own properties with schema markup and documented framings for each buyer query, but the published process describes auditing citation share per query rather than analysing existing pages and returning page-level change lists.

> JSON-LD schema markup tuned for citation patterns (Article, FAQPage, HowTo, Organization). External source-quality signals via guest posts, podcasts, and partnership pages.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · The infrastructure underneath section, item 'D · Schema + source-quality signals'

**Generates content** · Yes — Their own writers draft cornerstone content for each priority buyer query, and the vendor also offers the alternative of handing the client a framing structure to write against in-house.

> We draft cornerstone content for you (B2B-operator writers, not generalists), or we provide the framing structure and you have your team write to it.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 07, 'Do you write the actual cornerstone content, or do we?'

**Publishes to your site** · Partly — Landing pages and cornerstone content go live on the client's own domain, but no CMS integration is described.

> Landing pages deploy to your domain. AI cornerstone content lives on your site.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/ · Inbound Intelligence FAQ, ownership-at-handover answer

**Technical AEO** · Yes — Technical answer-engine work is an explicit part of the engagement: JSON-LD schema types are named, and the stack lists a dedicated 'Schema + signals' component labelled technical AEO.

> We build the cornerstones, schema, and citation network that put your category in the AI answer, not your competitor's.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · Hero paragraph under the heading 'An AI SEO agency that gets you cited in AI search answers.'

**Done-for-you service** · Yes — This is a managed agency engagement, not software: their operators run the buyer query audit, the content, the signal building and the weekly optimisation loop while the client attends the meetings.

> Outbound, inbound, and LinkedIn authority running under one strategy and one intelligence layer. You attend the meetings. We run everything else.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · Working Process section, 'Step 04 — Execution, fully managed'

## Answer engines

**ChatGPT** · Yes — ChatGPT with web browsing is named first in the vendor's own list of the engines the GEO + AEO programme targets and measures citation share on.

> All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web).
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

**Perplexity** · Yes — Perplexity appears in the named five-engine inventory and again in the success metric the vendor says it measures citation share against every week.

> Citation share per tracked query, measured weekly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 05, 'How do you measure success?'

**Gemini** · Yes — Gemini is one of the five engines the weekly citation audit covers, and it is named in the engine inventory the vendor presents as complete for this service.

> All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web).
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

**Google AI Overviews** · Yes — Google AI Overviews is named in the five-engine inventory, in the weekly measurement statement, and in the free baseline audit the vendor offers on the strategy call.

> We will run a baseline citation audit on your category across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · Closing call-to-action section, 'See if Growleads GEO + AEO is the right fit in a 30-minute call.'

**Google AI Mode** · No — Google's AI Mode is absent from an inventory the vendor states as exhaustive for this service; only Google AI Overviews is named on the Google side, in both the engine FAQ and the weekly measurement statement.

> All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web).
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

**Claude** · Yes — Claude with web access is named in the engine inventory and in the page title promise, and citation share on Claude is part of the weekly reporting the vendor manages to.

> Growleads is an AI SEO agency that gets you cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude when your buyers ask.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · Hero paragraph under the GEO + AEO heading

**Microsoft Copilot** · No — Microsoft Copilot is not among the engines this programme covers: the vendor gives a closed five-engine list when asked directly which engines it focuses on, and repeats the same five in its measurement and audit statements.

> All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web).
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

**Grok** · No — Grok does not appear anywhere in the GEO + AEO service description, and the vendor's direct answer on engine coverage is a complete list of five engines that excludes it.

> All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web).
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

**DeepSeek** · No — DeepSeek is outside the coverage the vendor commits to; the stated scope of the query map, the citation tracker and the weekly report is the same closed set of five engines.

> All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web).
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

**Meta AI** · No — Meta AI is not covered: every list the vendor publishes for this service, including the answer to which engines it focuses on, names the same five and stops there.

> All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web).
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

**Coverage in the vendor’s words** · Yes — Coverage is stated as a fixed set of five engines for every engagement, with no tier gating, because the service is a single quoted retainer rather than a plan ladder; the vendor argues multi-engine tuning over single-engine work.

> Different engines weight different signals; we tune for the multi-engine optimization, not for any one. Single-engine optimization is fragile.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 06, 'Which AI engines do you focus on?'

## What it reports

**Names the cited sources** · Yes — The citation tracker records which sources each engine cites per tracked query and how that changes week to week, and the reporting layer publishes cited-by-engine percentages per query.

> Cited-by-engine % per query, share-of-voice trend, new query opportunities flagged. The single report we manage to.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · The infrastructure underneath section, item 'E · Citation share reporting'

**Competitor tracking** · Partly — The weekly audit records who is cited on each query and reports a share-of-voice trend, so rival brands surface, but no page describes naming a competitor set and tracking it as its own view.

> Capture who is cited, what the AI answer says, and how confident the engine is in the answer. Establishes the baseline cited-by-engine percentage.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · How we run a GEO + AEO engagement, stage 02 'Citation share baseline'

**Recommendations** · Yes — The engagement is prescriptive rather than report-only: framings are rewritten on a thirty-day cycle and queries are dropped or doubled down on against a stated eight-week share test.

> Pause queries where we are not gaining share inside 8 weeks; double down where we are. Refresh framings every 30 days as AI engine answer patterns evolve.

## Plans and signing up

**Projects or brands** · Yes

**Countries** · Yes — They run engagements for buyers selling into several named markets and staff delivery across matching time zones, so a market other than the client's home one is in scope.

> We work best with B2B companies between $1M and $500M ARR, $5K+ ACV, selling in the US, UK, Europe, Middle East, or India.
> — https://growleads.io/contact/ · FAQ item 05, 'Do I have to be qualified to book a call?'

**How often it checks** · Yes — Cadence is weekly throughout: the citation audit runs weekly across the five engines, the Looker Studio dashboard updates weekly, and the query map is refreshed monthly.

> Looker Studio dashboard updated weekly. Cited-by-engine % per query, share-of-voice trend, new query opportunities flagged.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · The infrastructure underneath section, item 'E · Citation share reporting'

**Card required to start** · No — The free way in is a thirty-minute strategy call booked through their scheduler, and the vendor states it carries no cost and no commitment, so no payment details are taken up front.

> Yes. No commitment, no pitch deck, no follow-up sequence if it is not a fit.
> — https://growleads.io/contact/ · Before the call FAQ, 'Is the call free?'

**Self-serve signup** · No — There is no sign-up path at all: every route on the site books a strategy call, pricing is only quoted on that call, and engagements typically start two to three weeks later.

> Most engagements start 2 to 3 weeks after the call. The first week is contracting and onboarding; engagement work begins in week 2 or 3.
> — https://growleads.io/contact/ · Before the call FAQ, 'How quickly can we start?'

## Access and integrations

**BI export** · Yes — Reporting is delivered in Looker Studio rather than a closed vendor console, and the vendor states the dashboard sits in the client's own accounts from day one with a recorded handover.

> The framing library, cornerstone content, citation tracker setup, Looker Studio dashboard, and schema markup are all in your accounts and properties from day 1.
> — https://growleads.io/services/inbound-intelligence/geo-aeo/ · FAQ item 08, 'Who owns the framing library, cornerstone content, and citation tracker at handover?'
