The Shift

Search just split in two.

For two decades, ranking on Google was the whole game. Today, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Mode also answer customer questions directly. Half your future customers still Google you. The other half ask AI. You need to win both.

48%

of queries

show an AI-generated answer above traditional search results. Most customers never scroll past it.

5+

AI engines

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode now recommend local businesses directly.

3x

mentions over links

Brand mentions now correlate with AI citation 3x more than backlinks. Earned mentions matter more than ever.

Sound familiar?

The pattern most local businesses are stuck in.

You rank #1 on Google but bookings are flat. Half your customers stopped scrolling and started asking AI.

Your competitors get named in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers for queries you should own.

You have great reviews on Google, but those signals aren't reaching the AI engines that now recommend businesses.

Generic SEO tools optimize for Google rankings, blind to whether your business is even mentioned by AI assistants.

You don't know which AI engines cite you, which ones don't, and what's actually driving the gap.

Every month your visibility shrinks, but agency proposals all sound the same and none of them mention AI search.

Seen solves all of this.

How it works

One platform for SEO and GEO.

01

See where you stand

We audit your visibility across Google search and the AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, AI Mode). You see exactly where you rank, where you get cited, and where competitors are taking your customers.

02

Build what both reward

Modern SEO content that ranks on Google. GEO content that AI engines cite. Same trust signals, schema, and authority work for both. We build the system once, you compound visibility everywhere.

03

Stay Seen

Continuous monitoring across Google and AI. Alerts when rankings drop or citations slip. Ongoing tuning so your visibility holds as both search engines and AI engines keep changing.

Everything you need to win both.

Every plan includes the core platform. Higher tiers add content production, paid media, reputation management, and a dedicated strategist.

SEO + GEO audit

20-30 specific findings across 7 pillars (technical, on-page, content, local, links, reputation, AI search) with an actionable fix for each.

AI citation tracking

Weekly tracking of how often your business appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode answers to your target queries.

Google Business Profile

GBP optimization, review monitoring, and AI-drafted replies that boost both Maps rankings and AI citation signals.

AI content generation

Blog posts and landing pages calibrated for both Google rankings and AI citation, with brand voice tuning and one-click publish to your CMS.

Schema markup

Automatic LocalBusiness, FAQPage, and Service schema so AI engines can cleanly read who you are and what you offer.

Reputation management

Cross-platform review monitoring and AI-drafted responses. Reviews are the single biggest signal AI engines weight for local businesses.

Paid media optimization

Google Ads + Meta Ads sync, AI-powered creative recommendations, and ad landing page generation that converts.

Brand mention monitoring

Seen scans the web weekly for every place your business is mentioned, news articles, blogs, review roundups, local publications. Each mention is sentiment-scored, logged with source, title, URL, and date, and tracked for velocity so you know if your reputation is growing or slipping. Filter out irrelevant results with one click. No separate monitoring tool needed.

About Our Approach

For two decades, winning local search meant ranking high on Google. Optimize your website, claim your Google Business Profile, collect reviews, build local backlinks. The customers who Googled you found you, and the rest didn't exist. That playbook still works for half of local discovery and probably will for years.

The other half now happens inside AI assistants. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode answer customer questions directly: “best dentist near me,” “a quiet cafe to take a meeting downtown,” “reliable plumber for a weekend emergency.” The customer reads the AI's answer and picks a business from it. They never scroll through search results. If your local business isn't cited in that answer, you're invisible at the highest-intent moment.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of getting your business mentioned, cited, or recommended by AI engines. It overlaps with SEO (Google Business Profile, schema markup, reviews, content quality all matter for both) but it isn't the same discipline. Most local businesses today are winning Google and losing AI. The fix isn't to abandon SEO; it's to add GEO on top.

Seen is the platform built to do both. Our audit covers seven pillars: technical, on-page, content, local, links, reputation, and AI search. We track citation rates across the five major AI engines weekly. We generate the content, schema, and structured data that ranks on Google and gets cited by AI. And our team applies human judgment to every recommendation before it ships, because in local business the wrong message gets repeated to your real customers by the same AI you're trying to win.

Frequently asked

Everything before you sign up.

What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) gets your business ranked on Google. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets your business cited by AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Mode. They overlap (Google Business Profile, schema markup, reviews all matter for both) but they're different disciplines. Most local businesses today win on SEO and lose on GEO. Seen does both.

Will Seen work for my type of business?

Seen is built for any local business with customers in a defined geography: restaurants, retail, service businesses, professional services, studios, beauty, fitness, home services, and more. The platform is calibrated for local search and AI discovery patterns, not for e-commerce or pure SaaS. If new customers find businesses like yours by searching online or asking an AI, Seen will work for you.

How long until I see results?

Visible improvements show up in your audit score within 2-4 weeks of fixes being applied. AI citations are slower (typically 6-8 weeks before new mentions appear consistently) because AI engines re-index on their own cadence. Google ranking changes vary by competition. Our 90-day guarantee covers all three signals so you know you'll see real movement.

Do I need to give up my current SEO work?

No. Modern SEO and GEO share most foundational work (Google Business Profile, schema, reviews, content quality). Seen layers AI search optimization on top of what's already working. If your current SEO has gaps, the audit surfaces them; we don't ask you to abandon work that's paying off.

Do you need access to my Google Business Profile?

For Starter, no. The audit reads your GBP via public data. For Grow and above, connecting your GBP unlocks review reply automation, posts publishing, and direct optimization. You stay in full control of your account, and you can revoke access at any time.

What happens after my 7-day trial?

Your card is charged for the plan you selected on day 8 unless you cancel before then. You can cancel directly from your account settings with one click. We don't ask why, we don't try to retain you with discount offers. If you cancel after the trial, the 90-day money-back guarantee still applies to any month you paid for.

How is Seen different from a traditional SEO agency?

Most agencies sell hours: monthly retainers for the time their team spends on your account. Seen sells outcomes: a platform that does the heavy lifting with AI, plus a human strategist (on Full Service and up) who reviews critical work. You pay for results, not for hours.

Do I need a separate tool to monitor brand mentions?

No. Standalone brand monitoring tools charge hundreds of dollars per month on top of your existing setup. Seen includes it. We scan the web weekly for every place your business is mentioned, classify the sentiment, log the source with title, URL, and date, and surface your mention velocity month over month. You can filter out irrelevant results in one click. Everything a dedicated monitoring tool gives you, built into the platform you already pay for.

Why should I trust the 90-day guarantee?

Because the milestones are measurable and pre-defined. You see your audit score, AI citation rate, and keyword rankings every week in your portal. The same data the guarantee measures against. If you don't hit at least one of the three thresholds by day 90, you get a full refund of every dollar paid. No clawbacks, no fine print.
