How is it different from SEO tools?

SEO tools look at the technical side of a website. Chainshift analyzes the answers AI produces. We track how AI perceives your brand and in what context it is mentioned, and give you insights from a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) perspective.

What is the difference between GEO and AEO?

The names differ, but the goal is the same: getting your brand into the answers AI gives. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) Optimization for AI search that writes new answers, like ChatGPT and Gemini AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) Optimization for screens that show an answer above search results, like Google AI Overview and Naver AI Briefing Chainshift measures both across six AI search engines with the same standard.

What kind of companies need Chainshift?

Companies that need to manage how their brand is mentioned in AI search. It is widely used in B2C industries where consumers ask AI for product and service recommendations.

Can AI search exposure be defined as a KPI?

Yes. We define it not as exposure or not, but as a metric you can manage. We define it with measurable metrics such as Visibility and Citation. They are brand influence metrics, not traffic, so you can set and track them as quarterly KPIs.

Do those metrics connect to revenue?

AI search works at the stage where users with purchase intent ask specific questions. So rather than exposure counts, we analyze how often your brand is chosen at the point where real demand forms. How branded search volume changes as AI exposure grows Whether traffic to conversion pages grows as AI citations grow How your share against competitors changes in the same question group When your website or content (owned media) is optimized for AI search, we also analyze the flow from AI exposure to site visits and conversions to see the correlation with revenue.

Can we measure whether existing marketing affects AI search?

Yes. We compare how AI cited sources and exposure change after content publishing, PR, and brand campaigns, so you can see in numbers whether your work shows up in AI answers.

Can it run alongside our existing marketing campaigns?

Yes. AI search reflects the results of your SEO, content, and PR campaigns. Chainshift analyzes AI visibility together with your campaign data so you can see the role AI plays in your marketing mix.

How much does it cost?

It is a monthly subscription. Plans differ by the number of questions and AI search engines. You can compare plans on the pricing page.

Does it end with a report, or lead to action?

Questions where your brand is missing, and sources cited instead of yours, are what your content should strengthen. Content generation and CMS publishing for those questions are available in Beta.

Can we measure results again after acting?

Yes. We compare visibility and citation before and after. You can track results by question group and keep running experiments. Since we collect answers every day, you can see results day by day.

Why GEO matters

The brand you saw yesterdayis gone today

AI answers change every time.To know how often your brand appears, you have to ask again and again and record the results.

Answers change with every ask

Same question, different answer

AI gives a different answer each time, so one search cannot tell you whether your brand shows up.

What checking by hand takes

4,500 asks a month

Asking 25 questions across six AI search engines every day means 4,500 asks to run and record each month.

Questions and brands on screen are examples. 4,500 is 25 questions × 6 engines × 30 days.
