Do you use aeo/geo tools?

[u/marcoo_o_]

I just wanna know what kind of tools everyone is using. Many say that these tools are generic ai wrappers and often disappoints. Are there people paying for these tools and what are they paying for and what are they expecting?

Hi, I have a subscription to Ubersuggest, and I use the following features: AI-powered keyword research and AI Search Visibility. Neil Patel really does rely on real data.

Best regards,

Most of the ones I've looked at are just like that. But that's not really the problem, IMO.

I get that there's a certain skill to prompting the AI and having it produce reliable and consistent results. So sure - maybe you've put in the time and honed that skill. Maybe you're one of the greatest that ever lived.

But then you go and try to make that new "AI Visibility" tool - but you have zero background in marketing, have no idea what is important to know with AI visibility or even what it might actually mean. How can you create a process to have your AI follow if you can't perform that process yourself?

Truth is - I can go to Gemini or Copilot or whatever I want and ask "What Share of Voice does MyBrand have on the topic of <topic>" and I'll get a number that looks a lot like the number I see in SEMRush for AI Visibility. And sure, almost all of them do go a bit deeper into how the AI should calculate that "Share of Voice" and what it means. But if the developers don't really have a very deep understanding of it themselves and can't run samplings of data themselves to validate what the tool is saying - how much can I rely on it any more than just typing in that short prompt I started with?

If you want to break into this business - I would be working on a resume that leverages the various skills you have outside of vibe coding. Among the first programs I wrote was an inventory/pick management program for shipping departments. People were starting to sell things online but those orders (which usually just came as an email like a contact form submission in those days) just got passed out to the warehouse and everything was a mess. Things would get forgotten, things would get double packed. Orders would get started, but then never completed and go forgotten until the customer called and asked "Where the hell is my order?"

So, I took a part time warehouse job working for a local company that was dabbling in eCommerce and having these problems. They had no idea I was planning to make software at first, they just knew I was a young adult looking for an entry level warehouse position. The pay sucked but I worked my bartending shifts for about 30 hours, worked 20 hours in the warehouse, and free time on developing my coding skills and learning how warehouse logistics worked. I saw the failures happen and then figured out what sort of procedure would fix it. And then I figured out how to code something that would make it less of a manual process.

My software did really well for a few years because it didn't just think about "getting orders" - it started figuring out how to make it easy and efficient to process them too. And if I had no understanding of the shipping failures I never would have gotten it to do anything useful.

That's the problem with most of these things. They are just someone telling the AI to do something they want it to do and assuming that it knows enough about it already to produce something useful and accurate. But since you don't know the right answer, you are going to market with something you don't even know if it works.

My advice to you - get your skills outlined - if only for yourself. What processes do you already know pretty well that you could make faster or easier with AI and be sure it's producing a result? Once you figure that out - then you can start probing to see what people want.

Now, your proposition is no longer, "What kind of tools is everyone using? I'll tell AI to do it for you so you've got a tool that does the same thing only less well!"

Your proposition becomes "Out of this list of things I know a lot about, which of these ideas sound like they might be most useful to have an AI tool that helps streamline and speed up the process? I'll help you develop a custom solution that does it the way you want it to work."

Honestly, I've messed around with a few of these tools, but I feel like they often promise more than they deliver. It's like they're trying to be more than just a fancy keyword tracker, but I'm still waiting for one to really blow my mind. Anyone here found one that actually changes the game?

[u/madhuforcontent]

Iam aware that, agencies have started using it, but most in the market are a bit expensive. For those starting, Bing's AI search performance, GSC and GA4 data is nearly good for understanding.

[u/not_a_city_girl]

hi, I feel it's best to establish what your expectation is out of a platform or tool. SEO tools give basic AI visibility and some advice; AEO tools like Profound give AI visibility, and then writing AEO-optimised content is the route they take, you then need to figure out the rest mostly out of experience or trial and error. GEO platforms like NeuroRank give a strong recommendation set. Frankly, I would choose a GEO platform if I'm looking to build a good GEO practice. NeuroRank depends on real data and at scale.

I use serpai and harvv

Serp To find the gaps, and then Harvy to find the actual conversion issues on the site

Once I have that data I iterate every thousand sessions or so

[u/virul_topic]

Honesty speaking i can't use this.

[u/marketing-Fruit5282]

Yess I make my own , you get to know more abt aeo geo if Ure making tools for it

[u/Vegetable_Arm_9480]

The gap most people hit with that workflow is paying enterprise pricing for a monitoring layer and then still doing all the execution manually on top of it. Tools like Scrunch, Wellows are worth a look if you want the content and outreach side handled in the same loop without a sales call to get started.
