Canlah AIGEO service and productsYour buyers ask AI.Be the brand it recommends.
When buyers ask ChatGPT or Google's AI who to pick, we get you into the answer. The bar is in writing: AI names you at least 30% more often than at your starting baseline, re-tested every month.
Canlah AI, based in Singapore, sells a GEO service and three products. Canlah GEO, a Chrome extension in early access, shows whether ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews name you. DeepAudit measures the gap from US$99. Our GEO service closes it from $1,500 a month, re-tested monthly against +30% over your baseline. Canlah All-Stars is the AI team doing the work; after three months, you can run it yourself.

Questions buyers ask us
How much do Canlah AI's GEO service and DeepAudit cost?
GEO service, done for you: Starter from $1,500 a month, Growth from $3,000 a month, and Full is customised: contact us. Priced per AI platform, 4 buyer questions on each. DeepAudit: US$99 for One read, or US$189 for Month read (start and end of the month), paid once. The DeepAudit fee can be credited toward our agency services, but not toward a Canlah All-Stars subscription. Canlah GEO: free during early access. After three months of the GEO service, you can run Canlah All-Stars yourself, on its own subscription, priced separately. Need paid ads, shoots or video production? That's our marketing service, scoped separately.
How does Canlah AI show the GEO service is working?
Against one bar, in writing: AI names you at least 30% more often than at your starting baseline, counted per 100 asks on the same questions, averaged over 30 days. We re-test every month and put the answers side by side, word for word. A single screenshot never counts.
What happens if the GEO service misses the +30% bar?
You see it first, in the monthly report, on the same questions. At the quarterly review we move effort to what works and agree the next step with you in writing.
How long does GEO take to show results?
In month 1 you get your baseline and the first report. AI citations usually take 2–3 months to build; month 3 is where they usually start to show. On Growth and Full, the SEO target is about 1,500 Google clicks a month from month 4 (a target, not a promise).
Does Canlah AI change my website without my approval?
No. If your site's code is on GitHub, our people open pull requests: you see every diff, and nothing goes live until your engineers merge it. On Wix, WordPress or Shopify, AI doesn't touch your site: our people make the page and title changes you approve, inside the monthly fee. New features, redesigns and bug fixes are quoted separately.
More questions (12)See detailsHide
Can Canlah AI guarantee my brand ranks first in ChatGPT?
No: ChatGPT writes its own answers, and nobody can honestly promise you a place in them. We commit in writing to a +30% relative lift in how often AI names you versus your own starting baseline (for example, from 12 to 16 of 100 asks on the same questions), re-tested every month; we never guarantee rankings or a #1 position.
How is GEO different from what my SEO agency does?
SEO gets your pages ranked; GEO gets you named in the AI answer above the links. On Growth and Full we run systematic SEO too, measured against the same buyer questions. Off-site execution and media spend are billed separately. More: GEO vs SEO, side by side
Is Canlah AI just an AI visibility dashboard?
No. Canlah GEO is the reading and DeepAudit is the diagnosis. The GEO service does the work: pages AI can read, answers AI can cite, and outreach where AI reads. Canlah All-Stars is the AI team behind it, which you can run yourself from month 4.
Will Canlah AI also work for my competitor?
On Growth, category exclusivity is available as an add-on. On Full, it's included, along with competitor intel.
Can Canlah AI fix what AI gets wrong about my brand?
That's the brand fact base: one source of truth AI can read, which you check, plus monthly checks for stale or wrong facts. On a Chinese AI engine, one brand went from “isn't imported” (wrong) to corrected, with its advantages added.
Do AI-referred visits show up in GA4?
Yes. We tag visits and enquiries that come from AI answers in GA4, and the monthly report shows them. Where an AI platform doesn't share click data, we don't make up a number.
How does Canlah AI get other sites to mention my brand?
Real identities, disclosed. No bought accounts, no gamed Q&A, no fake reviews, no undisclosed placements. Every outside post is logged: who posted, as whom, when.
Is there a lock-in with the GEO service?
Work is reviewed every quarter: more effort on what works, cut what doesn't. From month 4 you can also run Canlah All-Stars yourself. Contract length is agreed in writing before you start. More: GEO in-house or with an agency, compared
AI answers change every time. How does Canlah AI measure them?
They do. Links churn most: of 222 sources, only 53 came back minutes later. Names move less, so we count names across runs and report the sites that keep coming back. Questions are fixed once you confirm them and asked the same way every month. Under 10 answers, no percentage. Data: Singapore AI citation dataset
What is the difference between DeepAudit One read and Month read?
Same DeepAudit, run once or twice. One read (US$99): we run it once and email you the full report within 7 working days after you confirm the questions. Month read (US$189): the same questions, asked the same way, at the start of the month and again at the end. The second report is set against the first, so you see where AI's answers about you changed during the month, and where they didn't. Both are checked by a person before we send them. Not sure? Start with One read.
When will the Canlah GEO extension start charging?
Not during early access. Later it will likely be priced by usage, for example by how many questions it asks AI for you. There's no price yet, and we'll tell you before anything is charged.
How do agencies work with Canlah AI?
You introduce and we deliver, or we run the diagnosis behind the scenes for you. Your clients stay yours, in writing. Tell us about your clients and we'll set the terms with you.
