Questions, answered.
What is an AI visibility checker?+
An AI visibility checker tells you whether ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity name your brand when buyers ask category questions, and who they name instead. CompeteScan runs that scan, then returns a report and a ranked playbook. Starter includes a 14-day free trial.
Is CompeteScan an AI writing or AI SEO content tool?+
No. We do not write blog posts or spin articles. We query answer engines, score share of voice against named competitors, show the citations they used, and return a ranked playbook. If you want an AI writing assistant, this is the wrong product.
Do ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity runs include search?+
Yes. We run ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity with search enabled so the report can show the pages they cite. That is how we record citations next to mentions. Perplexity is already grounded. ChatGPT and Gemini get native search so we can see sources.
What is AEO vs GEO in one sentence?+
AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) are names for the same job: getting mentioned and cited inside AI answers. SEO is still Google blue links. We measure the AI-answer half.
How is this different from Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit or Ahrefs Brand Radar?+
Keep Semrush or Ahrefs if you already live there for Google. Their AI add-ons sit on suite pricing. CompeteScan Starter is $49/mo, with a 14-day free trial, for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, weekly scans, and a playbook without buying the whole SEO suite.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. Starter is free for 14 days and Pro for 7. Pick a plan and add a card to start; nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then. Your first scan starts right after checkout.
How long does a scan take?+
A few minutes. You confirm your profile and the buyer questions, start your trial, and the report plus playbook fills in while you watch.
