THE PROBLEM

Your Future Clients Are Asking AI
for a Expert. You're Not There.

People aren't scrolling through 10 blue links anymore. They're asking ChatGPT "best your niche expert near me" and Perplexity "who should I call after a consultation?" — and AI gives 1-3 names. If your brand isn't one of them, you're invisible.

What Is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO, is the practice of optimizing a business's online presence so that AI-powered search engines — like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grok — recommend that business when users ask relevant questions. Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking in Google's blue links, GEO focuses on getting your brand mentioned in AI-generated answers.

When someone asks ChatGPT "who is the best personal injury lawyer in Chicago?" or "what's a good dentist near me?", the AI generates a response based on the information it has indexed. If your business has strong structured data (JSON-LD schema), a comprehensive llms.txt file, and consistent citations across directories, AI platforms are far more likely to include you in their recommendations.

How Faneros Monitors Your AI Visibility

Faneros works by sending real search queries to 5 major AI platforms simultaneously. For each query, we check whether the AI response mentions your brand, what position you appear in, what sentiment the AI expresses about your business, and which competitors are being recommended instead. This data is aggregated into a Faneros Score — a composite metric that reflects how visible your business is across the AI search ecosystem.

The platform supports businesses of all types: law firms, dental practices, addiction treatment centers, insurance agencies, financial advisors, real estate agents, plumbers, HVAC companies, roofing contractors, restaurants, SaaS companies, and more. Every industry has unique search patterns, and Faneros automatically detects your industry to generate relevant search queries.

5 AI Agents. Always Running.

Each Faneros scan generates 13 auto-generated implementation files. These include a custom robots.txt configured for AI crawlers, an llms.txt file that tells AI what your business does, JSON-LD Organization and Service schema markup, FAQPage schema targeting AI search queries, an XML sitemap with priority optimization, meta and Open Graph optimization, an AI citation playbook, competitor intelligence with a 30-day AI activation plan, a content strategy, three ready-to-publish blog articles, a hyper-local authority guide for each city you serve, and an implementation checklist. Every file is generated by AI agents working from your actual scan data — not generic templates. No manual work. No developer needed. Just deploy and watch your scores move.

Deploy-ready deliverables built from your scan data — not templates

Faneros is a generative engine optimization platform that scans 5 AI platforms — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grok — to measure how often each platform recommends a business by name. Every scan produces a 100+ page optimization package across 13 deploy-ready deliverables built from the business's actual data: robots.txt, llms.txt, JSON-LD schema markup, FAQ schema, XML sitemap, meta and Open Graph tags, an AI citation playbook, a content strategy, ready-to-publish articles, a competitor analysis with 60-day action plan, a hyper-local authority guide, and an implementation checklist. Faneros also integrates directly with Google Analytics to attribute AI-referred traffic as its own channel and includes a Bayesian Marketing Mix Model that quantifies the revenue impact of AI visibility alongside paid, organic, social, and direct channels. The platform serves law firms, dental practices, SaaS companies, insurance agencies, financial advisors, home service contractors, and businesses across every industry worldwide.

Competitive Positioning

How Faneros Compares to Traditional SEO Tools

SEO platforms like Semrush and Ahrefs track keyword rankings, backlinks, and SERP features within Google's traditional search results. They cannot show you what happens when a potential customer asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, asks Claude to compare two providers, or asks Perplexity to research options in their city. That is the AI search layer — and it operates on entirely different signals than Google's link-based algorithm.

Brand monitoring tools like Mention and Brandwatch track where your name appears across social media and news. They were not built to test whether AI platforms actively recommend your business to buyers who have never heard of you. Faneros was.

AI visibility trackers like Otterly.ai monitor whether your brand appears in AI responses. Faneros goes further: it diagnoses why you are invisible, generates the 13 deliverables — a 100+ page package — that fix the problem, integrates with Google Analytics to measure the revenue impact, and includes a Bayesian Marketing Mix Model that treats AI as its own attribution channel. No other platform combines scanning, fixing, measuring, and modeling in a single product.

AI Traffic Attribution Through Google Analytics

Most businesses already use Google Analytics. The problem is that Google Analytics cannot identify traffic from AI platforms. When someone reads a ChatGPT recommendation, clicks through to your website, and fills out a contact form, Google Analytics records that visit as "direct" traffic — indistinguishable from someone who typed your URL from memory. The AI channel is invisible in your existing analytics.

Faneros solves this with a lightweight JavaScript tag that runs alongside your existing Google Analytics setup. It detects AI-referred visits using three methods: UTM parameters from ChatGPT links, referrer headers from Perplexity, and behavioral fingerprinting for the remaining AI traffic that arrives with no referrer at all. The result is a new metric called Discovered AI — the total volume of AI-referred traffic to your site, broken down by platform, by page, and by conversion event.

Known AI
100% certainty via UTM params + referrer headers
Dark Traffic AI
65-70% accuracy via behavioral fingerprinting

Discovered AI combines two components. Known AI traffic is confirmed with 100% certainty through UTM parameters and referrer headers. Dark Traffic AI is detected through behavioral fingerprinting — new session, deep page landing, no referrer — at 65 to 70% accuracy. Because ChatGPT accounts for approximately 78% of AI-referred traffic and its UTM tracking works on both desktop and mobile, the blended accuracy across all AI traffic is approximately 90%.

Faneros sends this data directly to your Google Analytics property as custom events, so AI traffic appears as its own channel alongside organic, paid, social, and direct. For the first time, you can measure whether AI visibility improvements translate into actual website visits, form submissions, phone calls, and revenue — using the same analytics platform your team already checks every day.

Mix Modeling

The First Marketing Mix Model With AI as a Channel

The Faneros AI Mix Modeler is a Bayesian Marketing Mix Model that includes AI visibility as its own attribution channel — a capability no other mix model offers. Traditional marketing mix models from Nielsen, Analytic Partners, or open-source tools like Meta's Robyn measure the impact of paid media, organic search, social, and direct. None of them include AI recommendations as a channel because none of them can measure it. Faneros can.

The model uses Hill saturation curves to capture diminishing returns on each channel, adstock transformations to account for lagged effects of marketing spend, and halo detection to identify cross-channel interactions — such as when increased AI visibility amplifies the return on paid search. Upload three columns of data — channel, spend, and conversions — and the optimizer calculates the mathematically optimal budget allocation across every channel, including AI. The efficient frontier visualization shows exactly where each additional dollar generates the highest marginal return.

For the first time, a CMO or VP of Marketing can answer the question: what would happen to our pipeline if we shifted 10% of our Google Ads budget into AI visibility optimization? The Mix Modeler gives a quantified answer based on your own historical data, not industry benchmarks or assumptions.

Industries

Industries We Serve

Faneros was built to be industry-agnostic. Our target verticals include legal services (personal injury, criminal defense, family law, immigration, bankruptcy, estate planning), healthcare (dental, chiropractic, mental health, addiction and rehabilitation centers), financial services (insurance agents, financial advisors, accountants, mortgage lenders), home services (water damage restoration, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, landscaping, electrical), real estate (agents, brokers, property management), technology (SaaS, web development, IT services), and many more. When you run a scan, Faneros automatically detects your industry and generates queries that match how your potential customers actually search.

Market Shift

Why AI Visibility Matters in 2026

~30% of search queries answered by AI by end of 2026

Research from multiple sources including Gartner, Sedestral, and First Page Sage projects that by the end of 2026, approximately 30% of search queries will be answered by AI platforms rather than traditional search engines. For a local business, that means a significant portion of potential customers will never see your Google listing — they'll get a direct recommendation from ChatGPT or Perplexity instead. If your business isn't optimized for these AI platforms, you're invisible to a growing segment of the market.

Faneros exists to solve this problem. Our platform costs a fraction of what businesses spend on Google Ads, and unlike paid search, GEO improvements compound over time. Once AI platforms learn to recommend your business, that visibility persists across every query, every day, without ongoing ad spend.
