Your SEO tool can't see this.
ChatGPT just recommended your competitor.
Semrush has no idea.

The $139.95/month tool you're paying tracks Google rankings. Meanwhile, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are answering the questions your customers actually ask. They're recommending whoever figured this out first. helloAISearch watches all four AI engines every day and tells you the one thing to do about it.

Plans from $29/mo. All four AI engines on Studio ($59/mo) and up. No add-ons. No SEO bloat.

The problem

Every search you used to win on Google is now happening inside ChatGPT.

The rules are completely different. There's no “page 1.” There's no SERP. There's no domain authority that means anything. Either AI mentions you, or it doesn't. The SEO tool you've been paying $139.95/month for? It can't see any of this.

The SEO toolstack obituary

The SEO tools you're paying for were built for 2018.

They tell you about keywords, backlinks, and SERP positions. None of which exist inside ChatGPT. Most have rebadged “AEO” features bolted on as afterthoughts because they have to. But their core product was built for a search engine that's losing market share every quarter.

How helloAISearch works

Most SEO tools dump 47 metrics on you. We tell you the one thing to do today.

Semrush and Ahrefs were built by SEO people for SEO people. They turned every search-engine question into a dashboard of dropdowns, score widgets, and a backlog you'll never finish. That's not a product. That's homework.

Step 1 · Listen

We watch all four AI engines, every day, while you sleep.

You add the questions your customers actually ask. “Best tool for [your category].” “Alternatives to [your competitor].” Your exact category queries. We send them to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity overnight.

You wake up to a feed. Like an inbox, but for AI mentions of your brand. Each card shows what the AI said, your name highlighted in yellow, your competitors crossed out. You can read it in 90 seconds with coffee.

▾ Today's Feed · 23 mentions

“For small agencies, helloAISearch is particularly well-suited…”

ChatGPT featured your brand in 8 responses today. Your top competitor was mentioned in 12. You're trending up.

Step 2 · Act

One specific move per day. Not 47 tasks. Not a backlog you'll never finish.

Every morning, the system looks at what the AIs said yesterday and surfaces the single highest-leverage thing you could do today. A page to write. A comparison to publish. A piece of structured data to add. A pitch to send.

It's not generated by an LLM hallucinating “best practices.” It's pulled from the actual gaps in your actual data. The AIs already told us what would move the needle. We just made it readable.

⚡ Today's Move

Write a comparison page targeting "alternatives to [competitor]"

ChatGPT mentioned this comparison 4× this week. Your competitor dominated. A direct comparison page closes a 9-point Share of Voice gap. Difficulty: 1 hour.

Get a brief
Step 3 · Compare

Watch your share of voice climb past your competitors. In real numbers.

Semrush tells you what Google thinks. helloAISearch tells you what the four AI engines that just answered your customer's question think.

The right rail of your dashboard shows a Share of Voice ladder. You, your competitors, ranked by how often AI engines mention each of you. You'll see yourself climb (or slide). You'll see why. You'll know which competitor to target next.

▾ Share of Voice · 30-day trend

You moved from 4.1% → 7.2% in 28 days.

Your closest competitor slipped behind you last Tuesday. Next target: 11 points away. At your current pace, you'll pass them in 6 weeks.

View competitors
Step 4 · Visualize

The view your SEO tool literally cannot show you.

Once you've watched the numbers climb for a few weeks, a question shows up: where exactly do I sit in the AI landscape? Which brands cluster around me? Which are far away? Which engine is my home territory and which one ignores me entirely?

helloAISearch answers that with a competitive map. Your brand at the center. Competitors orbiting by share of voice. Engine territories drawn as cluster halos. Nobody else can show you this because nobody else is querying ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity to map it.

vs. the SEO toolstack

Semrush, Ahrefs, and Surfer track Google. helloAISearch tracks the engines replacing it.

Semrush has 110,000+ customers and a 25-year head start on Google rankings. They're not going anywhere. But the moment your customers stopped Googling and started asking ChatGPT, Semrush stopped being enough. You need a second tool. The one built for the engines that are eating Google's lunch.

FAQ

Questions operators actually ask us.

What is helloAISearch?

helloAISearch is an AI search visibility tool. It sends the questions your customers actually ask to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity every day, records whether each engine mentions your brand or your competitors, and turns the gaps into one specific recommendation per day. It is operated by PulseSpark AI LLC in Pittsburgh, PA.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

AEO, sometimes called GEO or AI search optimization, is the practice of getting your brand mentioned and recommended inside AI answers, the way SEO gets you ranked in Google results. There's no page 1 inside ChatGPT: either the AI names you, or it doesn't. helloAISearch measures which one is happening, daily.

How is this different from Semrush or Ahrefs?

Semrush and Ahrefs track Google rankings, keywords, and backlinks. None of those exist inside AI answers. helloAISearch queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity directly, shows you the actual response excerpts with your brand highlighted, and computes your share of voice against competitors. It's a complement to your SEO stack, not a replacement.

Which AI engines do you track?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. The Lite plan ($29/mo) covers ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini; Studio ($59/mo) and above include all four engines.

How does the free trial work?

Every new account starts with a free 3-day trial: 10 tracked prompts scanned on ChatGPT and Gemini, once right after onboarding and again on day 3, plus Today's Move recommendations and Share of Voice tracking. No credit card required. When the trial ends you pick the plan that fits; until you do, scans pause but everything we found is saved and unlocks the moment you subscribe.

Can I cancel anytime and take my data with me?

Yes. Plans are monthly with no annual lock-in, and you can cancel self-serve from Settings. You can also export all of your data (prompts, scans, mentions, and Share of Voice history) as CSV/JSON in one click, in line with GDPR and CCPA portability rights.

One last thing

In 18 months, half your competitors will be tracking AI search. The other half will be wondering why their pipeline dried up.

You can be the operator who figured this out while it was still cheap. Or the one playing catch-up while paying enterprise prices for the same insight in 2027.

that's all for now.
