Ceana helps startups go from zero AI-search visibility to a predictable source of qualified demand from ChatGPT, Google AI results, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Grok.
We find the searches that matter, create the required pages, publish them on your site, and maintain their performance. Ceana works as a growth partner, with pricing tied to attributable results.
100% performance-based for startups. No attributable traffic, no charge.

AI SEO, GEO, AEO, and LLM optimization in one system
Whether you call it AI SEO, GEO, AEO, generative engine optimization, or LLM optimization, Ceana handles the same core job: helping the right buyers find your startup in AI-generated and conventional search results.
Setup usually takes about five minutes. Ceana adds a managed /discover section to your existing site, with no CMS migration required.
Its opportunity engine analyzes keywords, buyer questions, competitor appearances, current AI answers, search intent, difficulty, and expected impact. Every claim remains connected to its original source for review.
After publication, Ceana runs controlled experiments, records each optimization, and compares expected results with actual performance.
AI search results and measurement
Ceana tracks AI visibility separately from conventional rankings and traffic.
Measurement includes brand appearances, website citations, recommendation frequency, answer position, prompt-level wins and losses, and changes following each optimization.
Ceana monitors more than 1,000 prompts per customer across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, and Google Search.
Customers typically begin seeing measurable progress within 14 days.
A growth partner built for startups
Conventional agencies often leave implementation to the customer. Ceana researches the opportunities, ships the work, monitors the results, and responds when visibility changes.
Ceana works exclusively with startups, including YC companies and other venture-backed teams. We support B2B companies, consumer products, marketplaces, and startups targeting multiple geographic markets.
There is no fixed platform fee for startups. Performance fees apply only to attributable traffic, and you set a monthly cap. If Ceana produces no attributable traffic, the fee is $0.
