What Cleo is
Cleo is an AI-powered platform that helps you grow organic visibility across two surfaces:- Traditional search engines (Google, Bing) — through SEO audits, on-page fixes, content, and technical health.
- AI answer engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Claude) — through GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), which measures and improves how often your brand is surfaced inside AI answers.
Who Cleo is for
- Marketing teams running SEO and content for one or several sites.
- Agencies managing many client sites from a single workspace.
- In-house operators who want both SEO health and AI-search visibility in one place.
Core concepts
- Project / Site — a website provisioned in your Cleo workspace based on the plan you purchased. Most analyses, tools, and dashboards run against one site at a time. Adding new sites is done by purchasing the appropriate plan or by contacting the Cleo team — not from inside the app.
- Client — a logical grouping for sites you manage (useful for agencies). One client can hold multiple sites. Provisioned with your plan.
- Member — someone you have invited to your workspace.
- Role — what a member can do. Global roles are Admin and Member. Per-project roles are Owner, Editor, and Viewer.
- Tool — a specific action you can run against a site (for example: “Meta Tag Analyzer”, “Broken Link Checker”, “Generate Content”).
- GEO query — a prompt you want to track across AI engines (for example, “best running shoes for flat feet”).
- AI engine — an AI answer engine being tracked (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Claude).
