GeoHero
For businesses of one to fifty people

AI search already ranks businesses like yours. Here’s how to show up.

A GEO report shows exactly where your business appears, or doesn’t, when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews. No contract, no $300/month tool, no demo call to book first.

Sound familiar?

Sound familiar?

Google rankings took years to build, and now AI engines answer the question before anyone clicks a link.

Organic traffic goes flat or dips even though the SEO checklist still looks healthy, and there’s no way to tell if that’s seasonality or a new channel quietly eating the demand.

Every AI-visibility tool built for this problem is priced and staffed for a marketing team of ten, not a team of one.

Published pricing on the category’s monitoring tools clusters at $99 to $500 a month, often gated behind a demo call, with dashboards built for someone whose job is to check them weekly. A five-person business ends up doing nothing instead.

You don’t actually know if your business shows up when someone asks an AI for a recommendation.

Without a way to check, the decision happens in the dark, and marketing spend keeps going 100% to the same old channels because there’s no visibility into the new one.

Why now, and why it favors you

The market is priced for a team you don’t have, and the queries are still winnable

The AI-visibility tool market is priced almost entirely for teams, not owners

Based on published vendor pricing pages we reviewed in July 2026, the cheapest self-serve entry point in the category starts around $99/month, and most plans cluster at $250 to $500/month with a demo call required before checkout. Almost none of it is priced or messaged for a single-location or single-owner business.

Local and niche queries still have thin citation pools

In our own July 2026 scan of AI Overview behavior, an AI Overview fired on the large majority of the search terms tested across five languages, but for several of those languages the panel cited a generalist incumbent, a video platform, or a local agency, not a specialist source, meaning the slot for a real, well-structured answer is often still open.

The small-business advantage is structural, not aspirational

AI engines weigh whether a page answers the question directly and reads as current far more than accumulated domain authority or backlink count. That is the same rule that made classic SEO slow to win for a small business; here it works in the other direction, because a single decision-maker can restructure a page in days, not quarters.

Sources: published vendor pricing pages reviewed in July 2026, and original research by the GeoHero Research Team (240 scored AI-engine answers, and a separate AI Overview scan across five languages). Full protocol on the methodology page.

How the report helps

A scorecard and a fix list, not another dashboard to check

Every report covers five engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews), the exact prompts tested, and the specific gaps behind a low citation rate: missing schema, an incomplete Google Business Profile, or content that never answers the question directly. The output is a prioritized list of what to fix, not a login to keep coming back to.

  • One-time purchase, not a subscription you’ll forget to cancel

  • Every report ends in a prioritized fix list, not just a score

  • No seats, no multi-user pricing, no dashboard to learn

  • No demo call required to see pricing or to buy

FAQ

Common questions

Is GEO worth it for a small business?

It depends on three things, not on company size: whether people already ask AI engines questions related to what you sell, whether your website has enough real content that a model could plausibly cite, and whether you can act on a report’s findings in under a week. If all three are true, a report is worth ordering now.

How much does an AI visibility report cost?

The report is $499 (Deep Research): all 7 surfaces (6 with reading + 1 in observation), 60 prompts, five named competitors head-to-head, research-grade sampling, and your citation gap dollarized against real search demand. It is a single purchase, not a recurring subscription.

Do I need a subscription tool to track this?

Most small businesses don’t, at least not yet. A subscription earns its cost once you’re acting on findings often enough that a stale report becomes the bottleneck, which for a five-person business is usually months away. An occasional one-time report covers the actual question most owners are asking.

Which AI engines does the report check?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews. The full protocol, including exactly which prompts and how scoring works, is documented on the methodology page.
