A new tool called MeraGEO is addressing the disconnect between traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) by monitoring how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini reference specific brands. The platform surveys how a brand appears across these major AI models and maps exactly where visibility is missing, recognizing that model updates and competitor content constantly shift how AI answers user queries.

The Visibility Crisis in LLMs

MeraGEO’s value proposition is anchored in a stark statistic derived from internal testing on an entire Y Combinator batch. The company found that 157 of 176 companies scored below 60 on visibility metrics, with ten brands never mentioned once by any model. The tool highlights that 58% of AI queries fail to mention the target brand, a gap that widens as models update and competitors publish new content. This data suggests that even well-established startups can be effectively invisible to the next generation of information retrieval.

How the Monitoring Service Works

The service operates on a three-step process: it crawls the user's site to understand their product and competitors, queries major AI models using real-world user-intent prompts, and generates a visibility score. While the initial scan is free and requires no signup, the paid tiers unlock continuous monitoring. Pricing starts at $19 a month for the Monitoring tier, which covers one domain. This plan includes weekly rescans across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, email alerts when AI sentiment changes, and a fix report that identifies missing elements like llms.txt files, FAQs, comparison content, and citation targets.

Advanced Optimization and Agency Tiers

For businesses needing more than just monitoring, MeraGEO offers higher-tier plans that include automated content optimization. The 'Optimize' tier allows users to rewrite the pages that score worst, keeping every fact intact, and generates up to 50 pages a month using a proprietary model trained by the company. Agency-focused plans scale this up to 25 domains, reading 100 pages per scan instead of 50, and providing 250 rewrites a month, positioning the tool as a comprehensive solution for maintaining brand presence across the evolving LLM landscape.

Key Takeaways

  • 58% of AI queries fail to mention target brands, based on internal testing.
  • 10 out of 176 YC companies were completely invisible to major LLMs.
  • Service pricing starts at $19/month for weekly monitoring and alerts.
  • Higher tiers offer automated page rewrites using a custom-trained model.

The Bottom Line

SEO is dead; long live GEO. If your brand isn't being cited by the models, you're effectively invisible to a massive segment of modern information seekers.
