Indexly is an AI search visibility platform that runs tracked buyer prompts against major AI assistants and records how each answer names and cites the brand. It also ships content agents, a technical AI-readiness audit, and Reddit and LinkedIn presence tools.

Not published. The CTA across the site is 'Start Free Trial' and nine feature pages say 'Free to start', but the pricing page lists no free plan and states no trial length, prompt allowance or engine limit. The refund policy adds that a cancelled account keeps 'Indexly FREE features', which reads as a persistent free set rather than a trial.

## What it does

**Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Tracked prompts are re-run against the named AI engines and scored for mentions, description and competitors.

> Indexly tracks your brand across the AI engines people use most — ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Grok (xAI), Claude (Anthropic), and Google AI Overviews.
> — https://indexly.ai/faqs · AI search visibility & tracking section, 'Which AI platforms does Indexly track?'

**Optimises your content** · Yes — Existing published pages are scored against AEO/GEO patterns and queued by potential lift; Content Optimization is excluded on Starter and capped at 10 then 25 articles per month.

> — https://indexly.ai/faqs · Building AI visibility section, 'How do Content Agents improve my AI visibility?'

**Publishes to your site** · Partly — Auto-publishes to WordPress, Webflow and Ghost, but the plan comparison table marks CMS Integrations as excluded on Starter and included from Growth upward.

> Content Agents publish straight to your stack — WordPress, Webflow and Ghost — on a cadence you set, with FAQ and Article schema and citations already in place.

> — https://indexly.ai/features/ai-audit · FAQ, 'What does the parseability layer check?'

**Done-for-you service** · Yes — A separate done-for-you retainer where Indexly's own team runs GEO-SEO, Reddit and LinkedIn execution; no figure published for it.

> — https://indexly.ai/faqs · AI search visibility & tracking section, 'Which AI platforms does Indexly track?'

**Google AI Overviews** · Partly — Google AI Overviews is in every engine list and has its own tracker, but plans cap tracking at 3, 4 and 5 models, so coverage depends on tier.

> — https://indexly.ai/pricing · Plan cards, Starter column model row (Growth reads 'Track 4 Models, 100 Prompts'; Scale reads 'Track 5 Models, 200 Prompts')

**Google AI Mode** · No — Google's AI Mode surface appears in no engine list; the page titled 'AI Mode Visibility Tracker' names ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity as the platforms it monitors, using 'AI Mode' generically.

> — https://indexly.ai/features/claude-tracker · Hero subheading under 'Track your Brand on Claude AI'

**Microsoft Copilot** · Partly — One feature page counts Bing Chat inside a '15+ AI platforms' claim; the FAQ engine list, the plan cards and the agency panel all stop at six engines and never name Copilot.

> We monitor 15+ major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, AI Overview, Bing Chat, Character.AI, and other emerging AI tools.
> — https://indexly.ai/features/ai-visibility-tracker · FAQ, 'Which AI platforms does Indexly monitor?'

**Grok** · Partly — Grok has its own tracker page and is in every engine list, but its icon appears only in the Scale card's five-model row, so lower tiers may not include it.

> Track 5 Models, 200 Prompts
> — https://indexly.ai/pricing · Plan cards, Scale column model row (its fourth engine icon carries the SVG title 'Grok'); Starter reads 'Track 3 Models, 50 Prompts'

**DeepSeek** · No — DeepSeek is absent from the enumerated engine list and from every plan row; the word does not appear anywhere on the site.

> — https://indexly.ai/faqs · AI search visibility & tracking section, 'Which AI platforms does Indexly track?'

> — https://indexly.ai/faqs · AI search visibility & tracking section, 'Which AI platforms does Indexly track?'

**Coverage in the vendor’s words** · Partly — Six engines are named site-wide, but the self-serve plans meter models: 3 on Starter, 4 on Growth, 5 on Scale; the agency plan claims all of them at $299/month/site.

## Correcting this record

Anything marked "Not established" is a question we have not answered — it is not a No. If you represent Indexly, or anything here is wrong or out of date, you can supply it with a source: the operations this site accepts from an agent are listed at https://citedindex.com/.well-known/agents.json — that catalogue needs no key to read, and each entry states its own auth.

Supplying evidence is free. Nothing that can be bought here changes what a field says, whether a gap is closed, or how this record is scored.
