Quick question for founders/marketers here:
When a potential customer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity "what's the best tool for X?" does your product show up, or does a competitor?
That's the problem we're obsessed with. We built GEOScope as the "Google Analytics for AI citations" it scans 8 major AI engines and tells you exactly which ones cite your brand, and which quietly ignore you.
We go live Aug 4. But I'd rather build for a real need than a guessed one:
What's the GEO headache you'd pay to solve?
How the audit works under the hood:
- Node.js + cheerio for page signals (Playwright fallback for
JS-heavy single-page apps)
- DeepSeek for the semantic layer — intent match, E-E-A-T signals,
content quality
- An 8-dimension scoring engine weighted by Princeton's GEO paper
(KDD'24) effect sizes, not vibes
- 4 parallel AI calls, ~15 seconds per audit
The fun part was building the citation monitor: it asks 8 AI engines
(ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Doubao)
real questions about your brand and checks whether you show up in the
answers. Currently tracking 8/9 engines on the homepage — live stats,
64+ scans today.
Happy to nerd out on the retrieval pipeline if anyone's curious.
For SaaS founders, there's one query that keeps me up at night:
"best [your category] tools" — if your brand isn't in that AI answer,
you're invisible to a whole segment of buyers who never click past it.
I've been running live audits from this thread — drop your URL and I'll
post your breakdown (score + the 2-3 things blocking you from being
cited). No signup, free tier is 5/day. Fair warning: the results are
sometimes uncomfortable — one founder found his own homepage was
blocking GPTBot for months without knowing it.
