## What is Siftly?

Siftly is a **Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)** platform that helps brands understand and improve how they appear in AI-generated search results — from ChatGPT and Perplexity to Google AI Overviews and beyond.

As search shifts from ten blue links to AI-generated answers, the brands that win are the ones that AI systems actively cite, recommend, and reference. Siftly gives you the data and tools to become one of them.

## Why GEO matters

Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine crawlers. GEO optimizes for AI language models. When a user asks an AI assistant "What's the best project management tool?" — the AI doesn't scroll through results. It synthesizes an answer from the content it was trained on and the sources it can retrieve.

**Siftly answers the questions that matter:**

* Is my brand being cited in AI responses?
* Which topics and prompts surface my competitors instead of me?
* How is my share of voice trending over time?
* What content should I publish to increase my AI visibility?
