      <title>New Free BYOK AI Search Visibility Tracker</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve just launched Llumo — a free BYOK AI search visibility tracker for monitoring how brands appear across AI search and answer engines.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🔗 &lt;a href="https://www.llumohq.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.llumohq.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Llumo is built on open-source technology that we’ve modified, extended and are continuing to build on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rather than starting from zero, we liked the foundations of the open-source approach and have been developing our own version around the features we think businesses, SEOs and agencies actually need for AEO/GEO.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal is simple:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make serious AI visibility tracking accessible without charging hundreds or thousands every month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why BYOK?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Llumo uses a Bring Your Own Key model.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You connect your own API/provider keys and pay the underlying usage costs directly, while Llumo provides the tracking, reporting and analysis layer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That means:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No expensive subscription just to access AI responses&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No artificial prompt limits imposed by a pricing tier&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scale your tracking based on your own API usage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More transparency around what AI monitoring actually costs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What can you track?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Llumo currently supports monitoring across major AI/search experiences such as:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ChatGPT&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Perplexity&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gemini&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Microsoft Copilot&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Google AI Overviews&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Google AI Mode&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And we’re continuing to expand the platform.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It goes beyond checking whether your brand appeared&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Llumo helps analyse things such as:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI Visibility &amp;amp; Share of Voice&lt;br&gt;
See how often your brand appears compared with competitors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prompt Tracking&lt;br&gt;
Monitor important commercial and informational prompts over time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citation Tracking&lt;br&gt;
See which websites and sources AI engines are citing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Query Fan-Out&lt;br&gt;
Where available, analyse the underlying searches AI engines perform before generating their answer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Competitor Visibility&lt;br&gt;
Understand who is being recommended instead of you — and potentially why.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sentiment Analysis&lt;br&gt;
See not only whether your brand is mentioned, but how AI engines describe it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're building much more on top of the open-source foundation&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're modifying the platform, adding our own functionality and building out more features around:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AEO opportunity discovery&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Citation intelligence&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Competitor analysis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Query fan-out&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Historical visibility&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reporting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recommendations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Managed AEO workflows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There’s a lot more planned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Search is changing quickly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The old question was:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Where do I rank on Google?”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Increasingly, the question is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“When someone asks an AI about my market, does it recommend my brand — and what sources caused it to make that recommendation?”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s what we’re trying to make easier to understand with Llumo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s free to use, so if you work in SEO, AEO, GEO, SaaS or AI search, I’d love people to try it and tell us what you think.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;👉 &lt;a href="https://www.llumohq.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.llumohq.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Especially interested in feedback on what you’d like us to build next.&lt;/p&gt;
