What it is

Top of Answer shows whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google's AI answers recommend your brand, who they recommend instead, and what to fix. You enter your website, we ask AI the questions your buyers ask, and you get a report in a few minutes. See an example report.

AI visibility is how often AI assistants mention your brand, where they rank it, and whether they cite your website when buyers ask for recommendations. AI answers usually name only three or four brands, so being on that short list matters more than ranking on page one. Read the guide.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) are two names for the same goal: getting your brand mentioned and cited in AI answers. Top of Answer measures where you stand today so you know what to improve.

SEO aims to rank your pages in search results; GEO aims to get your brand named inside the answer itself. They work together: AI assistants that search the web lean on pages that already rank, plus review sites, forums and comparison articles.

Buyers now ask ChatGPT or Google's AI Mode for a shortlist before they open a single website. If you are not in that answer, you never get the visit, and your analytics never show the loss.

How it works

We track six: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude with live web search on, plus Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Every check runs your questions on all six, with no add-ons.

You enter your website; we suggest your category, competitors and 10 questions your buyers would ask, and you can edit them. We then ask each question on all six engines and analyze every answer for mentions, position, citations and tone.

The report shows your visibility score, share of voice against competitors, average position and citation rate, plus a question-by-engine heatmap. It also shows who AI recommends instead of you and why, which sites it cites, the searches AI ran in the background, and concrete next steps. See an example report.

Usually a few minutes. You can close the page while it runs; we email you when the report is ready.

Yes. The report assistant answers questions like "Why am I not recommended?" using only the data from your check, and drafts next steps such as a comparison page outline.

You can run checks with questions in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese. For Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, you can choose the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Turkey.

Gemini results come from the Gemini API, which is not the same as the AI Overview shown in Google Search. Google AI Overviews and AI Mode results come from live Google searches, so they reflect what searchers actually see.

Comparisons

You can, but one answer from one engine is a snapshot: answers change by engine, wording, location and day. Top of Answer asks the same questions on six engines, records every answer and its sources, and compares you with your competitors in one report.

Top of Answer includes all six engines in every check, including Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and your first check is free with no credit card. Some tools limit entry plans to a few engines; with Top of Answer you see all six side by side in one report.

Top of Answer includes Claude, Gemini and Google AI Mode in every check rather than as paid add-ons. You also get the full answers, the sources AI cites and next steps in the same report.

Top of Answer is self-serve: no sales call, no onboarding, results in minutes. Enterprise platforms add services, content agents and custom contracts, which suit large teams with bigger budgets.

Yes. SEO tools show how your pages rank in search results; Top of Answer shows what AI assistants actually say about your brand. The two answer different questions and work best together.

Who it's for

Top of Answer is for marketers and founders who want to know whether AI recommends their brand, without a sales call or a long setup. It fits brands of any size that sell to buyers who research with AI first.

Yes. For e-commerce categories we suggest shopping questions like "best running shoes under $100" or "where to buy", and our free check tests whether AI can read your product price, stock and reviews. See Top of Answer for e-commerce.

Agencies can run a check per client brand today. Multi-brand tracking for agencies is on our roadmap; contact us to join the early group.

Our free AI crawler check tells you in about 10 seconds whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google bots can access your site, with no sign-up. It checks robots.txt rules, firewall blocks, llms.txt and whether your content is readable without JavaScript. Test your site.

Pricing and buying

Your first check is free, with no credit card: 10 questions on six AI engines, with full answers, sources, recommendations and the report assistant. You are never charged unless you choose a paid option.

We plan two options: pay per check ($9 for one check or $29 for five) or weekly tracking for $19/month. Nothing is charged yet during the beta; we'll email you when paid options open.

Weekly tracking is coming soon: the same questions measured every week, with a trend chart and alerts when your visibility changes. Join the list to hear when it opens.

No one can guarantee that. We show where you stand, which competitors win and which sources AI trusts, so you can decide what to improve.

Trust and data

We measure what AI engines actually answer; we don't claim access to their ranking systems. AI answers vary, so each report records exactly what every engine said at the time of the check, and you can open every answer with its sources.

AI answers depend on the engine, the exact wording, location, date and the pages the engine finds while searching. That is why we ask the same questions on six engines and why weekly tracking shows trends better than a single check.
