FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Foglift, GEO, AEO, and AI search visibility.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of optimizing your website and content to appear in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overview. It's the next evolution of SEO — instead of just ranking in search results, you need to be cited in AI responses.
What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
AEO focuses on structuring your content so AI models can extract and cite it as a direct answer. This includes using FAQ schema, structured data, clear headings, and authoritative content that AI models prefer to reference.
How is Foglift different from traditional SEO tools?
Traditional SEO tools only check how you rank in Google search results. Foglift analyzes both SEO and GEO — checking how your site performs in traditional search AND how it appears in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overview.
Is the free scan really free?
Yes. You can scan any website for free with no signup, no credit card, and no limits on the number of scans. Each scan provides a full report covering SEO, GEO, AEO, Performance, Security, and Accessibility with an AI-generated action plan.
What does a Foglift scan check?
Each scan analyzes 6 categories: SEO (meta tags, headings, links, content), GEO (AI crawler access, structured data, citation readiness), AEO (FAQ schema, answer formatting), Performance (load time, image optimization), Security (HTTPS, headers), and Accessibility (ARIA, contrast, keyboard navigation).
How much does Foglift cost?
Free scans are unlimited. Paid monitoring plans start at $90/mo (Starter), $200/mo (Pro), and $450/mo (Enterprise). All plans include API access, CLI, MCP connector, and a 7-day free trial. Agency plans are custom-priced.
What AI engines does Foglift monitor?
Foglift monitors 5 AI engines: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude (Anthropic), and Google AI Overview. Paid plans track how your brand appears in answers across all five.
Do all plans include API access?
Yes. Unlike most competitors that lock API access behind enterprise tiers, Foglift includes REST API, CLI, and MCP connector access on every paid plan — including Starter.
What is the MCP connector?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard for connecting AI tools to external data. Foglift's MCP connector lets AI assistants like Claude access your GEO data directly, enabling automated workflows and AI-powered analysis.
Can I use Foglift for client reporting?
Yes. All plans include PDF export. Pro and Enterprise plans include white-label report branding with your logo and colors. Agency plans add multi-client dashboards.
How often does Foglift rescan my site?
Free users can rescan manually anytime. Starter plans include weekly automated rescans. Pro plans include daily rescans. Enterprise plans include configurable daily schedules.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. All paid plans come with a 7-day free trial that matches the tier you choose. Free scans are always available with no trial needed.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime from your dashboard Settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — no questions asked.
What's the difference between SEO, GEO, and AEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps you rank in Google/Bing search results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) helps you appear in AI-generated answers. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) helps you become the cited source in those AI answers. Foglift measures all three.
