Illusion is built as the practical, affordable alternative to overpriced AI SEO platforms. No enterprise sales call. No mystery dashboard. No 40-slide audit deck telling you your homepage is vague.

Illusion tracks what Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity say about your product. See where you rank in AI search results and what to fix — in 60 seconds.

Hey Product Hunt, I’m David, founder of Illusion. Illusion helps startups and small businesses figure out whether AI actually recommends them. We track what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews say when customers ask buying-intent questions like: - “What’s the best accounting firm near me?” - “What are the best AI SEO tools for startups?” - “Which project management tool should I use?” Then we show who gets mentioned, who gets ignored, what competitors are winning, and what to fix next. I built this because AI search is quickly turning into another overpriced marketing category. Overhyped and Overvalued tools like Profound and AthenaHQ are charging enterprise prices for what, in many cases, feels like a very dressed-up AI wrapper. Useful category? Absolutely. Worth locking startups and local businesses out with bloated pricing? Definitely not. One of my goals with Illusion is to expose the overhyped and overpriced side of this market, then give founders, indie teams, and small businesses something practical they can actually use. We also just added a free AI website analyzer, so you can audit your site for customer clarity, SEO, local SEO, and AI search readiness before paying for anything. For Product Hunt folks: use code `PHFREE` at checkout and you’ll get either paid plan free for a month. Would love feedback, roasts, bug reports, and weird AI search queries you want me to test.
