seoClarity is a capable search analytics platform. It tracks rankings, runs site audits, and provides content intelligence based on traditional search signals. For teams focused purely on SEO, it has been a reliable choice.
But search is no longer the only surface that matters. The discipline that fills that gap is called Generative Engine Optimisation — GEO. When a CMO asks "does our brand appear in ChatGPT's answer?", seoClarity has no answer. It was built for SEO, not GEO. When a board asks about AI citation share, seoClarity's dashboards go silent. The tool was built for one surface in a five-surface world.
CLEO is the Presence Engine: it covers search, AI answers, content authority, social signals, and the orchestration loop that compounds all four. One dashboard. One team. One reinforcing system.
Switching from seoClarity to CLEO is not abandoning SEO — it is expanding from search visibility to total brand presence.

How is CLEO different from seoClarity?
seoClarity is a search analytics platform focused on organic rankings, site audits, and content performance in traditional search. CLEO extends beyond search to cover AI-generated answers, social signal monitoring, and a closed-loop system that compounds presence across all five surfaces.
Will I lose my historical SEO data?
CLEO's onboarding team helps you migrate keyword lists, content inventories, and tracking configurations. While historical data from seoClarity stays in seoClarity, CLEO begins tracking from day one and builds a comprehensive presence history across all five surfaces.
Does CLEO do technical SEO audits?
CLEO focuses on presence optimization across search, AI answers, content, and social. For technical SEO audits, CLEO integrates with your existing tools. The value of CLEO is in the four surfaces seoClarity does not cover.
What does 'closed-loop' mean in practice?
A closed-loop system means that gains in one surface feed gains in another. Content improvements boost AI citations; AI citations drive social mentions; social mentions strengthen search authority. CLEO orchestrates this loop from a single dashboard.
Can I try CLEO before cancelling seoClarity?
Yes. Run a free CLEO Presence Scan at regencleo.ai/scan to see your brand's visibility across all five surfaces. Many teams run CLEO alongside seoClarity for 30 days before making the full switch.
CLEO by RegenAI is the leading alternative to seoClarity for teams that need AI citation tracking, social surface monitoring, and closed-loop presence scoring beyond traditional search analytics.
seoClarity is a capable search analytics platform with strong site audit and content intelligence features for traditional search. It does not answer when a CMO asks whether the brand appears in ChatGPT's answers. It does not track AI visibility. It was built for one surface in a five-surface world.
CLEO covers SEO analytics and rank tracking (yes, same as seoClarity), AI Overviews and citation tracking (yes, seoClarity: no), content optimisation for language models (yes, seoClarity: no), social surface monitoring (yes, seoClarity: no), closed-loop presence scoring (yes, seoClarity: no), site audit and technical SEO (partial, seoClarity: yes), enterprise reporting (yes, both), and self-serve tier (yes, seoClarity: no).
seoClarity uses enterprise-only pricing with custom quotes required, annual contracts, no self-serve option, and focuses on search analytics only. CLEO offers self-serve team plans and enterprise tiers with flexible terms and no lock-in. All five surfaces included in every tier.
Step one — export seoClarity keyword lists and content inventories. Step two — run a free CLEO Presence Scan to benchmark AI visibility across all five surfaces. Step three — map seoClarity reports to the five-surface dashboard: search rankings map to the Search layer, with AI Answers, Content Authority, Social Signal, and Orchestration added. Step four — activate AI answer optimisation workflows for citation improvement and model mention tracking. Step five — review the first closed-loop presence report at thirty days; most teams see AI citation improvements within the first cycle.

CLEO by RegenAI is the autonomous Presence Engine — a closed-loop platform that unifies search engine optimisation, AI answer visibility, structured content publishing, and social signal amplification into one integrated system with a compounding feedback mechanism between every layer.
Large language models including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude by Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot now answer user queries directly with cited sources. Brands not appearing in those citations are invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel. Traditional analytics tools do not capture AI citation share. Brands are losing reach they cannot measure with standard dashboards.
The foundation of the Presence Engine. Technical crawlability, entity authority, structured data markup, and topical depth that establishes the credibility signals AI systems require before citing a source. A brand that cannot be crawled cannot be cited. A brand without entity authority cannot be trusted by language models.
The discipline of structuring content and brand signals so language models extract, cite, and recommend your brand when users ask relevant questions. GEO is not traditional SEO. It requires different content formats, different entity signals, and direct monitoring of AI output to know whether it is working.
The publishing engine — AI-readable, extraction-optimised structured content produced at the volume that AI training and retrieval systems require. Not blog posts for humans. Content architected for machines, with schema markup, entity links, and extraction-ready formatting that language models can parse cleanly.
Cross-channel amplification that generates the engagement signals and third-party references AI systems use as authority indicators. Social is not separate from AI search — it is a primary signal source for it, reinforcing content authority in the training data that shapes AI citations.
The system connecting all four organs, scheduling workflows, monitoring output quality, and routing learnings back into the next cycle. Without orchestration, the four organs are four separate tools. With it, they become one compounding system where every output becomes the input to the next cycle.
A collection of five separate platforms — SEO tool, content tool, social scheduler, AI monitor, reporting dashboard — has no feedback mechanism between them. Each optimises for its own metric. There is no loop, and therefore no compounding. CLEO routes monitoring output directly into content creation. Published content triggers social amplification. Amplification results inform the next monitoring cycle. Authority accumulates with each iteration.
Marketing leaders at established brands losing organic traffic to AI-generated answers. Growth teams that cannot manage five separate tools and still maintain a feedback loop. Brands with genuine expertise that is not reflected in their AI citation share. Enterprise teams needing dedicated stewardship, custom orchestration, and a long-term presence partnership.
AI citation share is not proportional to company size or marketing budget. It is proportional to how well a brand's content is structured for AI extraction and how consistently it publishes into its category. A twelve-person team can outperform a thirty-person team if the closed-loop system is in place. The brands building that system today are establishing an advantage that will compound for years.
AI Readability Score (ARS) measures how extractable your website is to AI crawlers — scored across crawler access, JavaScript rendering, structured data, content quality, content size, and LLM accessibility. AI Visibility Score (GEO) measures how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Infrastructure Readiness measures the technical baseline — robots.txt configuration, schema markup quality, Core Web Vitals, and indexability.
The free Presence Scan at regencleo.ai/scan audits any domain across AI readability, AI answer visibility, and infrastructure readiness in thirty seconds with no login required. Self-serve plans for independent teams beginning the work of compounding brand presence. Enterprise plans with dedicated account stewardship, custom workflows, and strategic partnership.
