Sound familiar?

You've been publishing ChatSEO posts for months. Traffic is flat, and you have no idea whether any of it made ChatGPT or Perplexity start recommending you over the competitor buyers actually land on. Ranking on Google isn't the whole game anymore: being the name AI cites is. Content without a way to check that is just typing.

The old way

One login, one prompt, one engine at a time.

Checking whether you show up in ChatGPT or Perplexity means opening each engine yourself, one prompt at a time, and there's still no score, no history, and no fix once you spot the gap.

  • Publishing content with no way to tell if AI engines are citing it
  • Screenshotting ChatGPT answers by hand to see who gets recommended
  • No signal on why AI skips you for a competitor
  • No time to write the pages or fix the technical issues AI engines actually run into
  • Content without a distribution or outreach layer rarely earns citations

Checked by hand, one engine at a time

One login, one prompt, one engine, and still no fix once you spot the gap.

The GetIntel way

Every gap arrives with the fix already drafted.

GetIntel scores your AI visibility automatically across every engine and drafts the fix for every gap it finds. You review, approve, and ship it through your own coding agent.

  • Topic scores across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, recalculated every day
  • Buyer-prompt probes show exactly which questions cite competitors instead of you
  • Every gap becomes a ranked task: pages to write, sources to fix, outreach to send
  • Daily AI-visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, Claude adds on Growth
  • 20 minutes a week to review the task list, no writing from scratch
Topic Scores

Powered by Topic Scores

Connect your domain and 2-3 competitors. GetIntel asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews the exact questions your buyers ask, and groups them into topics — pricing, comparisons, alternatives — each scored on its own with a trend. Every gap becomes a ranked task: a page to write, a source to fix, an outreach target. Your coding agent works the list; you review in about 20 minutes a week.

Score, Not Just Content

ChatSEO measures word count and SEO grade. GetIntel measures whether AI engines actually recommend you, the score that decides if you're on the buyer's shortlist at all.

A Task List, Not Just a Score

Every gap on a topic ships as a ranked task: a page to write, a source to fix, an outreach target. You're working through a list with your coding agent, not writing from a blank page.

4 AI Engines, Daily

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, probed daily with the exact prompts your buyers type, Claude adds on Growth. ChatSEO doesn't check any of them.

How SaaS Founders Evaluating ChatSEO Use GetIntel

Real workflows that drive results

1

Content Plus a Score

Keep using ChatSEO for drafts if you want. GetIntel tells you which buyer prompts AI engines answer with a competitor's name instead of yours, and adds a content task to fix it.

2

Stop Guessing Why AI Skips You

GetIntel's daily probes show exactly which prompts fail to cite you, ranked by how often buyers ask them, replacing manual ChatGPT screenshotting with a real score.

3

Built for the AI-Search Era

The question isn't 'will this post rank on Google' anymore: it's 'will ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity mention me.' GetIntel measures that every day; ChatSEO doesn't.

What changes when the brand is your client, not you

A content retainer already produces the articles. What an agency cannot show from a writing tool is whether any of them got cited, which is the thing the client asks about in the review call.

  • Each client brand gets its own 60 tracked buyer questions and its own 10 competitors, so the report is about their category rather than a generic AI-search summary.
  • The monthly report names the buyer questions where the client was cited and the ones where a rival was cited instead, which is a claim the client can check by asking the engine themselves.
  • White-label and scheduled client reports are on the Agency tier, so the proof goes out under your name without you assembling it each month.

Agency pricing is per client brand: $79 a client for 3 to 9, $59 for 10 to 24, custom above that. See how GetIntel works for agencies.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Different jobs. ChatSEO writes SEO blog posts. GetIntel scores whether AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity actually cite you, then turns each gap into a ranked task — content to write, outreach to send — for your coding agent to work through. If you want content written, use ChatSEO. If you want to know whether AI recommends you and fix it when it doesn't, use GetIntel.

It turns content gaps into ranked tasks — pages to write or refresh for buyer prompts where a competitor gets cited instead of you — that your coding agent can work through. It's not a general blog-writing tool; every task ties back to a specific topic gap.

$79/month vs ChatSEO's €29/month entry tier (read 26 September 2026). You're paying for a daily AI-visibility score and the ranked task list that moves it, not more blog posts. For founders at $1K–$15K MRR, that's the difference between guessing why AI skips you and knowing exactly which prompts to fix.

Yes. Connect your domain in a few minutes and your first topic scores land within the week, with a ranked list of buyer prompts where competitors are cited instead of you. Keep writing content however you already do. GetIntel measures whether it's working across AI engines and adds what's missing to your task list.
