Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of measuring and improving how often — and how favorably — your brand appears in answers generated by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. Unlike traditional SEO, which targets ranked links, GEO focuses on whether your brand is actually cited and recommended inside the AI's response. As more people get answers directly from AI, GEO is becoming essential for staying visible.

Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking positions on search results pages and the clicks they drive. GEO optimizes for inclusion, accuracy, and sentiment inside AI-generated answers, where there's often no link to click at all. The two are complementary: SEO still drives organic traffic, while GEO protects your visibility as search shifts toward AI. KIME focuses on the GEO layer that most SEO tools don't measure.

KIME monitors your brand's presence across the major AI search engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. Standard plans track three AI models, with additional platforms available on Enterprise plans. This lets you see where you're visible, where competitors are winning, and how your share of AI answers changes over time.

It comes down to what you need to measure and act on. Suites like Semrush and Ahrefs are built around keyword rankings, backlinks, and traffic, with AI visibility added as a feature. KIME is a purpose-built GEO platform focused entirely on how your brand performs inside AI answers — and it goes beyond measurement by surfacing prioritized actions and helping you execute the changes that improve your GEO performance. Many teams run KIME alongside their existing SEO stack rather than replacing it.

Yes — SEO and GEO solve different problems and work best together. Strong SEO foundations like quality content, technical health, and authoritative links also improve how AI engines perceive and cite your brand. KIME complements SEO by measuring and improving the AI-answer layer that ranking tools can't see.

KIME is designed for startups, scaleups, e-commerce brands, and agencies that want to track and grow their visibility in AI search. It offers transparent published pricing in euros, free trials on standard plans, and agency features like multi-client workspaces. Teams use it to benchmark against competitors, monitor sentiment, and prioritize the actions that improve AI visibility.
