AI SEO Software That Gets Your Brand Cited by AI
Traditional SEO ranks you on Google. AI SEO gets you cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Most AI SEO software measures your visibility and stops there. MentionLayer moves it — audit the gap, build the citations AI models read, and track your Share of Model in real time.
Plans from $97/mo · 14-day free trial · No credit card required for the audit.
Search has bifurcated. Your SEO software hasn't.
In our study of 1,004 businesses, 65.9% were invisible to AI — never surfaced when buyers asked AI models for a recommendation. Yet your SEO stack still measures keyword rankings, backlinks, and SERP CTR — none of which determine whether ChatGPT cites you. AI SEO software has to measure the new signals — and move them.

AI doesn't pull from your money pages. It pulls from Reddit, Wikipedia, Trustpilot, and authority press.

AI SEO software FAQ
What is AI SEO software?
AI SEO software optimizes your brand's visibility inside answers from generative AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews — not just Google's blue links. Traditional SEO targets keyword rankings on a search results page; AI SEO targets whether your brand is cited when an AI model answers a buying-intent question. MentionLayer is a full-stack AI SEO platform: it audits your current AI visibility, builds the off-page citations AI models actually read — directory and entity listings, reviews, press, cited sources — and tracks your Share of Model in real time.
How is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO is about ranking for keywords on Google. AI SEO is about being the answer when ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini recommends a product or service. The signals are different: backlinks and on-page content matter less; off-page citations — directory and entity listings, reviews, press, and the sources AI answers cite — matter more, because that's where AI models pull their training and retrieval data from. Most AI SEO software only measures these new signals. MentionLayer builds them.
Which AI models does MentionLayer track?
Every monitor scan tests your brand across five AI surfaces: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. We report Share of Model per surface, because the five don't agree — a brand ChatGPT cites can be invisible on Gemini.
How long until I see results from AI SEO?
Most brands see meaningful Share of Model lift in 60–90 days. Entity fixes (Wikidata, Crunchbase, LinkedIn) and review velocity compound over 3–6 months; press coverage tends to get cited fastest. The GEO Tracker re-probes every week, so you see the movement as it happens rather than waiting for a quarterly report.
Do I need traditional SEO software too?
If you're already running Ahrefs, Semrush, or Moz for traditional SEO, keep them — they cover Google ranking signals MentionLayer doesn't track. AI SEO software is complementary, not a replacement. We focus on the AI-specific signals (citations, entities, Share of Model) that traditional tools don't measure.
How much does AI SEO software cost?
MentionLayer plans start at $97/mo (Solo: 1 website, 20 keywords, full platform access). Growth at $297/mo covers 3 websites and 50 keywords. Agency Light at $497/mo covers 15 websites with white-label reports; Agency Pro at $997/mo is unlimited. Every plan includes the full 10-module stack and a 14-day free trial.
