About GeckoBoost: answer engine optimization software and services
GeckoBoost is an AEO platform (answer engine optimization, also called GEO or AI SEO). The software shows how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Google's AI answers present your brand, and our services help you act on it. Altis Koten SRL, a Belgian company led by its founder David Dao, publishes it in English, French and Dutch.

Why does GeckoBoost exist?
Buyers can now ask an AI assistant which supplier to choose, and Google shows an AI answer above its links on 39 of the 40 results pages we checked on 10 November 2026. A marketing team cannot easily see whether its brand is named, who is named instead, or which pages the assistant read. GeckoBoost measures that and turns it into work.
Nobody controls an answer engine from outside, so we measure, show what the engines document, and never sell a position.
Who is behind GeckoBoost?
GeckoBoost is published by Altis Koten SRL, a private limited company under Belgian law (enterprise number 1037.896.832). David Dao, the founder, leads the product and the client work. The application and its database are hosted in the European Union.
How is the product built?
GeckoBoost is software first. It reads what answer engines say about your market and turns it into actions:
- Visibility: how often each brand is named, with a margin of error, by engine, language and period.
- Competitors and sources: who is named in your place, and which sites the engines cite.
- Accuracy: false claims about your brand, on plans with accuracy checks.
- Your website: checks that search and AI crawlers can reach and read your site.
- Action plan: sites to be cited on, pages to write, errors to correct, searches to rank on.
- MCP server: an AI assistant reads your plan and logs progress, on plans that include it.

Software, services, or both?
You can start with the AI visibility tool. Plans cost €79, €249 or €690 a month excluding VAT, after a 14-day free trial with no card needed (see pricing). If you want hands-on help, our AEO and GEO services start with a guided AI visibility audit, quoted per project. For a first look, the free AEO checker tests whether AI assistants name your brand.

Book a 30-minute demoWhat will GeckoBoost never promise?
No vendor can promise a ranking or a citation, and the engines say so themselves.
“Third-party tools don't have access to our internal ranking data. They can't guarantee performance.”
“ChatGPT ranks search results using multiple factors intended to help users find relevant, reliable information. Placement is not guaranteed.”
We measure, diagnose and show what changed. Every piece of advice on this site carries one of two labels:
- Documented: let OAI-SearchBot crawl your site. OpenAI names it as a condition for a site to be eligible in ChatGPT search (OpenAI, archived 30 October 2026).
- Heuristic: earn mentions on YouTube, Reddit and third-party lists. YouTube and Reddit were the most cited domains in our measurement below, but no engine documents this as a rule.
Does GeckoBoost measure itself?
“GeckoBoost was named in none of 124 answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews to 31 questions on AEO and GEO agencies, tools and practice, in English, French and Dutch. YouTube was cited in 24 of those answers, Reddit in 20.”
That is our starting point. Our case study tracks what moves, and the barometer publishes our pilot measurements market by market. New to the topic? Read what AEO is.
Questions
What is AEO?
AEO, answer engine optimization, is the work of making a brand easy for AI assistants to find, understand and name. It covers your site, your presence on the sources engines cite, and measurement.
What is the difference between GEO and AEO?
In practice they name the same work. GEO (generative engine optimization) is the usual word in French and Dutch, AEO and AI SEO in English. Both aim at being named and cited in AI answers, not only ranked on a results page.
Who owns GeckoBoost?
Altis Koten SRL, a private limited company under Belgian law (enterprise number 1037.896.832), led by its founder, David Dao.
Is GeckoBoost an agency or a software tool?
Both. The software measures and builds the action plan, and our services carry it out with you if you want.
Is GeckoBoost affiliated with Google or OpenAI?
No. GeckoBoost is independent. It reads what the engines answer publicly and has no access to their internal ranking data.
Can GeckoBoost guarantee that ChatGPT will cite my brand?
No. OpenAI states that placement is not guaranteed, and Google says third-party tools cannot guarantee performance. We measure where you stand and track what changes.
