The Opportunity
An audit + optimization tool that helps businesses appear in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — the equivalent of SEMrush but for Generative Engine Optimization. Free audit, paid report. Target: SMBs spending on SEO who don't know GEO exists yet.
Why This Fits
Real blue ocean in the SMB segment — existing competitors (Peec AI $89/mo, Profound $499/mo) all target enterprise. No affordable tool under $50/mo exists for small businesses. You can position as the first accessible GEO tool with a Spanish-language version for an untapped LATAM market.
→ Next Step
Build an audit tool: user enters their URL + niche, the system runs 10 queries in Perplexity/ChatGPT, measures brand visibility, and generates a PDF report with 5 recommendations. Freemium: free scan, $29/mo for ongoing monitoring. Launch in both English and Spanish for blue ocean positioning.
