GrowthAtlas GEO is a sampled grounded prompt panel, plus AI referral traffic from Google Analytics you already connected. It is not a global mention firehose, not ChatGPT session telemetry, and not a Google AI Overview scrape.
What it is
You add the prompts that matter for your brand. GrowthAtlas runs them on grounded engines, then stores mention, citation, and competitor-mention results. One check is one prompt × one engine × one run. Monthly check quota is a shared pool.
Completions-only “visibility” (asking a model with no search) is out of scope. So is scraping ChatGPT’s UI or Google AI Overviews.

web_search — Agency included; Growth add-onExplicitly not this product
Two honest signals. Neither pretends to be the other.
Tracked prompts go to Perplexity Sonar and, when entitled, OpenAI web search. We record whether your aliases appear in the answer, whether a citation points at your site, and which listed competitors were named. Sampled. Repeatable. Quota-limited.
If Google Analytics is connected, we summarise sessions and users whose session source is a known AI product host (chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com, copilot.microsoft.com, claude.ai). That is click-through traffic, not the private prompt typed inside the product.
Starter does not include public GEO. Full rows live on pricing.

Search Console still answers “which Google queries and URLs.” GEO answers “on these prompts, did a grounded engine mention or cite us?” They are different questions. GrowthAtlas keeps both, and does not invent AI Overview query strings from GSC.
Unlike Surfer, Frase, or Clearscope, this is not on-page content scoring. Those tools grade an article against a SERP. GEO samples answer engines and, when Analytics is connected, shows AI-product referrer traffic.
Classic SEO
GrowthAtlas GEO
A prompt run can show you were cited. A chatgpt.com session in Analytics can show someone actually arrived. One without the other is incomplete: citations without clicks, or clicks without knowing which tracked prompt fired.
Connect GA in the project Analytics screen. If it is not connected, the GEO dashboard shows a clear empty state instead of invented numbers. Connect GSC the same way to keep using the existing queries UI.
A sampled prompt panel that asks grounded answer engines (Perplexity Sonar, and optionally OpenAI Responses with web_search) the questions you track, then records whether your brand is mentioned, cited, or named next to listed competitors. It is not a global AI mention firehose.
No. GrowthAtlas never reads consumer ChatGPT sessions. OpenAI web search uses the Responses API with web_search. AI referral traffic is sessions that landed on your site from known AI product referrer hosts such as chatgpt.com or perplexity.ai.
The prompt panel is what you asked the engines. AI referral is what Google Analytics recorded after someone clicked through from an AI product. They complement each other. Neither reconstructs the private question typed inside ChatGPT.
No. Classic SEO ranks and Search Console queries remain in the existing GSC module. GEO tracks sampled answers from grounded engines plus, when Analytics is connected, referrer traffic from AI products. We do not scrape Google AI Overviews.
Starter does not include public GEO. Growth includes the Perplexity Sonar panel; OpenAI web search is a Growth add-on (ops entitlement, proposed +$19/mo). Agency includes Perplexity and OpenAI web search. Check quotas and check pools on the pricing page. AI referral uses Google Analytics you already connected — no extra vendor.
No. Nobody outside OpenAI has that firehose. We sample the prompts you choose, count mentions and citations from those runs, and (if GA is connected) show referrer traffic from AI product hosts.
Growth and Agency include the GEO panel. Connect Analytics when you want AI referral on the same dashboard.
