Intro
Search is no longer just ten blue links. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude now synthesize answers and recommend a handful of brands directly. If you aren't one of the sources they cite, buyers won't see you at the moment they decide. Here are three solutions worth a look, from self-serve software to done-for-you agencies.
1. Snezzi
Best for: Teams that want to track and improve their AI search visibility without extra internal workload.
Snezzi is an AI search optimization platform that helps businesses improve how they appear, get cited, and get recommended across AI searchengines. It combines AI visibility tracking, competitor and citation analysis, content optimization, technical SEO, authority building, and AI-powered execution to identify visibility gaps and strengthen the signals that influence AI-generated answers. Businesses can use Snezzi’s platform to monitor their presence and opportunities, or work with its done-for-you team and AI agents to implement and continuously optimize their AI search strategy.
2. MAK Digital
Best for: eCommerce brands on BigCommerce, Shopify, WordPress/WooCommerce, or Magento that want AI search optimization handled by the same team that builds and maintains their store.
MAK Digital is a US-based eCommerce agency, active since 2012, that combines design, development, platform migrations, SEO, and paid media under one roof. Its AI search work covers entity and schema markup, answer-first content, and crawl-path cleanup so Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can find, read, and cite a store’s products. It also offers a free AI visibility scan, which gives teams a low-commitment starting point. It suits online retailers, especially B2B, automotive, and other catalog-heavy stores, that want AI visibility tied to site speed, platform choice, and migrations that protect rankings, rather than a standalone GEO engagement.
3. Search Hog
Best for: UK businesses that want a personal, consultant-led approach to AI SEO alongside traditional SEO and PPC.
Search Hog is a UK-based SEO, PPC, and AI SEO consultancy founded by Matthew Pavli, who has over 15 years of experience in search marketing. It optimises sites for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, alongside SEO audits and link-building.
"LLMs don't really read your page the way a person does, they pull out the individual passages that best answer the question and stitch those together, so if each section can't make sense on its own you're probably not getting cited. That's why 'chunking' matters so much now, opening each section with a direct answer, naming the topic rather than leaning on 'it' or 'this', and keeping each chunk focused on one question, so it still holds up when it's lifted out of the page," says Matthew Pavli, AI Search Consultant at Search Hog.
4. SEOTopSecret
Best for: In-house teams, solo operators, and agencies that want one self-serve platform for AI visibility tracking and day-to-day SEO execution.
SEOTopSecret is AI SEO software that works as a "growth operating system," combining AI visibility tracking with content creation and SEO workflows. It tracks brand mentions and share of voice across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity, and pairs that with content briefs, schema generation, technical audits, rank tracking, link-building opportunities, and one-click publishing to Webflow, WordPress, and Shopify. Plans are self-serve with a 7-day free trial, and it also offers a free AI SEO audit for sites that want a starting point.
