24 alternatives to Hikoo

Hey HN! We're building Hikoo, a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform for businesses that want to understand and improve how they appear in AI-powered search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews). The problem: 60% of searches now end without a click, and 83% when AI Overviews are present. Your SEO can be perfect, but if AI engines don't mention you, you're invisible to a growing share of users. What Hikoo does: - Monitors how AI engines answer queries relevant to your business - Tracks your brand's presence, sentiment, and ranking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini -…

    Hey HN, we are building Rankai (https://www.rankai.ai), an AI agent that pushes SEO blogs and code fixes automatically to your site. My teammate previously scaled a product to 4M users via organic traffic and SEO. And we understood the importance of driving SEO traffic for small businesses. But after we talked to a lot of small businesses and startups, we realized that majority are not doing SEO at all. For them, learning and doing SEO weekly is too time-consuming, and no way they'd hire an agency for $4k+. So we tried to automate each step of SEO process in an agentic way using…

    Geneo▲16

    Hi HN, I built Geneo to solve a problem I was facing: as AI search (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity) becomes more common, it's increasingly unclear whether and how your brand is showing up in these new search experiences. Geneo helps you: Track brand mentions across AI-generated search results Analyze if your domain is being cited (or ignored) Benchmark your visibility against competitors Identify high-potential queries and topics to create content that’s more likely to be referenced by AI Get AI-driven content recommendations to improve your brand’s presence This is especially…

    Hi HN, I’m launching betterAEO, a tool we’ve been building to help websites understand and improve how they appear in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. The motivation came from noticing that traditional SEO metrics don’t capture how AI engines select and summarize content. Sites with strong SEO can still be invisible in AI summaries, meaning users get answers that favor competitors even when your content is high quality. betterAEO lets you: - Measure your site’s AI-readiness with a single AEO Score - Identify gaps in schema, snippets,…
