Definition

What is ApexGEO?

ApexGEO is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform. It measures whether AI answer engines mention and cite a brand, audits the brand's site for AI readability, and ships the fixes — then measures again to prove they worked.

ApexGEO is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform. It measures whether AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and 7 engines in total — mention and cite a brand, audits the brand's site for AI readability, and ships the fixes, then measures again to prove they worked.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) are the practice of improving how AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini describe and cite a brand. As more buyers ask AI engines instead of traditional search, a brand that is invisible or misdescribed in those answers loses demand it cannot see — GEO/AEO makes that measurable and fixable.

ApexGEO runs search-mode AI visibility checks weekly by default, with higher-frequency monitoring available as a paid add-on for launches, active campaigns, or reputation-sensitive brands. Alerts fire when a sweep detects a new brand mention.

ApexGEO supports multi-brand monitoring with limits that scale by plan — 1 brand on Free and Starter, 2 on Growth, up to 10 on Professional and Agency, and custom limits on Enterprise. Each brand keeps its own prompts, competitors, and alert settings.

ApexGEO monitors its own brand and, whenever there is enough measured data, publishes those live results on the homepage ("We run Apex on Apex"). Anything unmeasured renders as "Not measured" — never a placeholder number. The methodology page documents how every score is computed, and the public self-audit case study documents bugs we found in our own engine and how each was fixed.

ApexGEO supports content analysis and monitoring in multiple languages including English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Swahili, French, Portuguese, and Arabic, with additional language support added continuously.

ApexGEO analyses a brand's website, content, and AI visibility data to generate prioritised recommendations. Each recommendation includes an impact score, confidence level, and estimated effort — with high-impact, low-effort fixes surfaced first.

ApexGEO integrates with Jira, Trello, Asana, Linear, Slack, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console, with alert delivery to email, Slack, and webhooks. Enterprise plans support custom integrations on request.

Yes to both. ApexGEO's Free plan costs $0 and needs no credit card — 1 brand with weekly monitoring, so you can see whether AI engines mention you before paying anything. And every self-serve plan starts with a 7-day free trial — no card required — so you can try the full feature set before you subscribe. Paid plans start at $19/mo (Starter) and scale to a custom Enterprise tier.

All ApexGEO prices are shown in USD. At checkout, your invoice is settled in South African Rand (ZAR) at the current exchange rate via Paystack, so you always know what to expect.
