About Presence Scout
We help brands see, and grow, how they show up across both search engines and AI answers.
For two decades, being found online meant ranking on Google, and that still matters. But discovery is splitting in two: buyers now also ask ChatGPT, read Google's AI Overviews and trust Gemini and Perplexity summaries, often without ever clicking a traditional search result.
So brands need to win on both fronts: classic search ranking, and the newer discipline of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) / Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Most have no single view of either: where they rank on Google, whether they even appear in AI answers, or how they stack up against competitors.
Presence Scout was built to close that gap. We track your keyword rankings in Google search and continuously check the AI answer engines for the prompts your customers actually ask, telling you whether and how your brand shows up: your position, the competitors alongside you, whether you're cited, and how you're talked about. No guesswork, just measurable visibility across search and AI.
What we stand for
Our principles
Measurement first
You can't improve what you can't see. We turn AI answers into data you can act on.
Search and AI, not either/or
Buyers still search Google and increasingly ask AI. We track both, so you see your whole discovery picture in one place.
Honest, simple pricing
Pay for the prompts you track, nothing more. No lock-in, cancel anytime.
Built for operators
Founders, marketers and agencies get clear rankings, trends and alerts, not dashboards full of noise.
Who's behind it

Founder, Presence Scout
Maneesh started Presence Scout after seeing how quickly buyers were shifting from search engines to AI assistants, and how little visibility brands had into it. The mission is simple: give every brand a clear, honest measure of its presence in AI answers, and the tools to improve it.
