# Surfedo

Surfedo is the AI search visibility platform that shows brands their exact position rankings on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — and generates the content fixes to improve those rankings. Unlike other tools that only tell you if you were "mentioned," Surfedo returns exact #1, #2, #3 positions per query per engine, then closes the full loop: find the gap, generate the fix, verify it worked.

## What We Do
- Track exact brand position rankings (#1–5) across 4 AI engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude
- Identify which queries competitors win on AI engines and exactly why (review counts, entity signals, content gaps)
- Generate ready-to-publish fix content: FAQ pages, JSON-LD schema, llms.txt entries, entity descriptions, comparison content, Reddit citations, and structured data
- Run a 40-point AI site audit covering bot crawlability, schema, entity signals, and off-site presence
- Verify every fix with automated re-scans showing before/after position deltas
- Weekly auto re-scan with position history tracking across all engines
- Detect AI hallucinations about your brand and monitor sentiment across AI responses

## Who We Serve
- B2B SaaS founders and growth teams who want to rank on AI engines when buyers research their category
- Marketing agencies managing AI visibility for multiple clients
- Independent consultants building AI SEO practices
- Any brand that wants to be recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude instead of their competitors
