From observation to action
Yes.
You can open Gemini or Perplexity, ask a few questions and see what comes back. One search tells you what happened once.
The pattern is the part that takes work, and every gap it turns up comes with the sources behind it.

What to look at first
Starter: one recommendation a week. Growth: one per uncited question.
Illustrative report using public sample queries. Brand, competitors, sources and figures are fictional and are not measured results.
No.
And nobody can honestly guarantee that. AI platforms decide what they recommend.
MediaDesk shows you whether they cite your site now, which sites are cited instead, which sources those answers draw on, and where you may have gaps worth investigating. Then we check again each week and compare with the week before.
Evidence, not promises.
01
We identify what your business does.

Ongoing monitoring
AI answers change. That is the whole reason to keep watching.
Each week · change since your last scan

AI responses can vary by model, prompt, location and time. MediaDesk reports observed responses and sources and does not guarantee rankings, citations, mentions, traffic or commercial results.
Yes, and for one question you should. The work is in the repetition: the same questions across both engines, every answer recorded, competitors and sources noted, then all of it run again the next week and compared. One search tells you what happened once.
No, and nobody can honestly promise that. The platforms decide what they cite. We show you whether they cite your site now, which sites are cited instead, which sources those answers lean on, and what changed since the week before.
Yes. Generative engine optimisation, or GEO, is the usual name for the work of getting mentioned in AI answers, the way SEO is the name for showing up in search results. We keep the term out of the way elsewhere on this site because it explains nothing to someone who has not met it, but that is the category this sits in. What generative engine optimisation is has the research behind the term and what it found actually works.
AEO, answer engine optimisation, is the work of actually getting mentioned rather than just measuring whether you are. Monitoring is the product you can buy here; that work is a separate engagement, where we write the evidence pages your category is missing and pursue coverage on the publications the answers already cite. It is sales-led rather than self-serve, so it starts with a conversation. We cannot promise an engine will mention you, and nobody who says otherwise can either. AEO and GEO sets out how the two terms are used.
A free check and a Starter report ask Perplexity and Gemini. Claude and ChatGPT each answer through a web search billed per question, so they join from Growth rather than being run eighteen times a week at $19.90 a month: a Growth, Agency or Pro report asks all four, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT. We do not check Copilot, Grok or Google AI Overviews at all. The engine names above are read from the same list the table on this page renders, so this answer cannot go stale on its own.
Start with the questions where other sites are cited and yours isn’t, and the sources those answers cite repeatedly. That tells you which pages of yours are thin and which third-party listings are worth correcting. It is investigation, not a guaranteed fix.
Because AI answers genuinely vary by model, prompt wording, location and time. That variance is the reason monitoring exists: repeated checks describe a pattern, where a single search describes a moment. We have measured how much of it is noise — across 2,024 verdicts from repeated scans, 9.7% flipped. How we measure.
