Surfaced

Surfaced is an AI search visibility platform for generative engine optimization (GEO), also called answer engine optimization (AEO). It tracks how a brand shows up in AI-generated answers across 12 engines (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Google Search, Google News, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Grok, Mistral AI and Microsoft Copilot), shows which content gaps explain the result, and generates the content that closes them. Every paid plan comes with a dedicated AI visibility expert, so the software comes with a person attached.

    Pepper is the agentic Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform for enterprises.

Design custom agents for any task — from citation tracking and competitive benchmarking to content briefs and optimization — and let them run on autopilot.
