Search just got rebuilt. SEO tools can't see it

Half of the searches your customers run now end inside an AI chat. Whether you're the cited source — or invisible — decides who they buy from.

At a glance

Half of buyer research now happens inside an AI chat, not on Google
AI engines cite 3–4 sources per answer — being one of them is the new #1
Traditional SEO tools cannot see what AI engines say about your brand
Yootas tracks 22+ AI engines including DeepSeek, Qwen, Doubao and 17 more

48%

Of consumers ask AI before Google

A growing slice of buyer research happens inside ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity — never touching a search results page.

3–4

Sources cited per AI answer

Being one of those handful of cited URLs is the new #1. Position 12 in Google ≠ position 0 in AI.

Traditional SEO tools track this

Rank trackers watch Google’s blue links. They don’t see what 22+ AI engines say about you, every day.

SEO vs GEO — what changed

Same goal (be the source buyers find), totally different game.

	Traditional SEO	✦ GEO (with Yootas)
What it tracks	Google blue-link rankings	Citations inside AI-chat answers
Where buyers see you	Search result page	Inside the AI’s answer paragraph
Unit of optimization	Whole page	200-token chunk
Success metric	Position #1–10	Cited / not cited (binary)
Engines watched	Google + Bing	22+ AI engines
Optimization output	Title tags, meta, backlinks	Schema, citable facts, chunk rewrites
Update cadence	Daily rank checks	On-schedule live probes

Most GEO tools watch 4 engines. We track 22+

Four reasons brands pick Yootas when they need GEO that actually ships citations — not a dashboard that just measures the gap and leaves the fix to you.

Coverage across 22+ AI engines

ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini · Perplexity · Copilot · Grok · Mistral · Llama · DeepSeek · Qwen · Doubao · Kimi · ERNIE · GLM · Yi · MiniMax · Spark · Hunyuan and counting. Every engine your buyers actually ask, probed on your schedule.

Chunk-level fixes, not page audits

Page-level scores like "47/100" tell you nothing about what to rewrite. Yootas pinpoints exactly which 200-token chunk is hurting you, why, and ships the rewrite in one click. The unit of GEO optimization is the chunk.

End-to-end loop in one platform

From anonymous URL check → Profile setup → Queries tracking → Monitor runs → Optimize fixes → Agent automation. No bouncing between rank trackers, content tools, and schema validators.

4 workspace types + agency mode

Brand / Shopping / Local / Content — each ships with a type-specific schema and query template pack. Agency mode lets you manage unlimited client workspaces under one org.
