GEO tool: win the answer, not just the click

Generative engine optimization is measured at the answer level: did the engine name you, who did it name instead, and which pages did it cite? Sonarvue is a GEO tool that captures those answers across eight engines and keeps the exact evidence.

What a GEO tool has to show

  • The verbatim answer. The exact sentence the model used, not a 72/100 score. Scores can't be audited; answers can.
  • Who was named instead. When you're missing, the competitor that took the slot is the useful signal.
  • The cited pages. The list, G2 page, or blog the engine leaned on - and therefore the page that can change the answer.
  • Movement over time. The same prompt, rerun, so you know whether a fix held.

Most of this category sells a score. A GEO score is a summary of a measurement, not the measurement. If you can't read the answer and open the citation, you can't act.

How Sonarvue works

  1. Save the buyer questions. Category, comparison, alternative, and pricing prompts, each with a market and language.
  2. Capture every engine. One prompt runs across all eight default engines and keeps each answer, your position, and the citations.
  3. Act on the gap. The highest-leverage owned page or third-party source is the fix; then rerun the prompt and watch the answer change.

Sonarvue also watches the public Reddit, LinkedIn, and X threads behind a topic, so when an answer moves you can see the conversation that moved it. That context is unique to a monitor built on answers plus sources, not a rank grid.

GEO tool FAQ

What is a GEO tool?

A GEO (generative engine optimization) tool measures and improves how AI answer engines describe your brand. A useful one shows the verbatim answer, whether you were named, who was named instead, and the pages the engine cited.

Is GEO replacing SEO?

No. SEO still decides whether a page can be found and quoted; GEO decides whether the generated answer names you. They share inputs (clear pages, credible sources, structured data) but GEO is measured at the answer level, not the ranking level.

How much does a GEO tool cost?

Sonarvue Starter is $29/mo and includes all eight default engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, and Kimi. There is no per-engine add-on and no demo required.

Do I need a demo to see it?
