# Growthclan

> Growthclan is a growth marketing agency whose main service is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): getting brands named and cited in the answers of ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview. The service runs on Growthclan GEO, a proprietary platform Growthclan built in-house to follow each client in a tailored way. Italian and English, Italy and international markets.

How the GEO service works: AEO audit of the site → the buyer questions to track → daily monitoring of AI answers → content and citation work → monthly report.

What Growthclan GEO tracks and delivers (the platform is the tool Growthclan uses to deliver the service, not software sold separately):

- Daily tracking of AI answers to the questions the client's buyers actually ask, by country and language (Italy and abroad)
- For each answer: whether the brand is mentioned, its position against competitors, tone and cited sources
- Metrics: mention rate, share of voice, average position, a 0–100 visibility score, trends and alerts when visibility changes
- Citation opportunities: the sources AI engines use when they cite competitors but not the client
- Strategy: question variants by buyer profile, high-intent question research by niche, competitor battlecards, an AEO audit of the site (llms.txt, AI-crawler access, structured data, content, rendering) and SRO analysis (why a page is or is not chosen by AI engines)
- Monthly client report in PDF and CSV, in Italian and English

Growthclan also offers SEO consulting, content and digital PR as levers that grow AI citations, plus AI automation services. It does not promise guaranteed rankings or guaranteed AI mentions.
