LIFE Launches GEO AIO TRACKER to Monitor ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview

LIFE Inc., a Tokyo-based company supporting corporate revenue growth through website production and SEO services, announced on May 12, 2026, the public launch of GEO AIO TRACKER, a cloud service that had previously been used internally for its LLMO and AIO consulting work. The service is now available starting with a free plan at 0 yen per month. GEO AIO TRACKER monitors four AI search engines, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview, using a full browser reproduction method. Beyond showing whether a company’s brand is currently being recommended by AI, the tool analyzes the context behind those recommendations and the information sources referenced by AI, including latent domains. According to LIFE, consumer discovery and purchasing behavior is rapidly shifting from traditional Google Search to AI search and AI assistants. Recent international studies show that AI-driven traffic and usage have grown severalfold within a year, making AI recommendations a new revenue maximization channel after SEO. Consumers increasingly ask AI tools questions such as “What do you recommend?” or “Which one is best?”, and only brands appearing in AI responses enter their consideration set. AI recommendations are difficult to capture because AI search works differently from conventional SEO. A user question is internally split into multiple queries, searched across web domains, checked against shared consensus from multiple sources, and then converted into a recommendation context. LIFE’s research found that 80% to 93% of cited URLs can change within a week, while domains cited by all four AI engines account for only 4.4%. AI recommendation rankings also fluctuate significantly: about half of brands ranked first in AI recommendations changed positions within a week, and Perplexity’s top-rank retention rate was only 23.3%. GEO AIO TRACKER has three main features. First, it observes the four AI engines through actual browser access rather than APIs, because API and browser results can differ, and it supports observations from Japanese IP addresses. Second, it uses LIFE’s proprietary dual-query method to identify three layers of referenced domains: primary references, secondary references, and latent references. Third, its insight function visualizes the recommendation context and decision factors used by each AI engine. LIFE reports that ChatGPT tends to emphasize authority, Gemini tends to organize results by category and use case, Perplexity tends to value user reviews and comparison-site evaluations, and Google AI Overview tends to follow factors similar to traditional Google Search, such as local relevance, track record, and official websites. The service offers Free, Lite, Standard, Advance, Pro, and Premium plans, ranging from 0 yen to 198,000 yen per month including tax. The Free plan requires no credit card, but AI observations do not run on that plan; it is intended for registering keywords and question queries before upgrading. Up to three question queries can be configured for each monitored keyword. To commemorate the launch, LIFE is also offering an AI recommendation acquisition guarantee campaign. If AI recommendations are not obtained for specified question queries within 180 days of contract start, the company will refund six months of monthly fees. Participation requires prior consultation, and some cases may not be accepted, such as conflicts with existing clients. Going forward, LIFE plans to continuously reflect findings from its GEO research project into GEO AIO TRACKER’s insight function. Planned enhancements include stronger industry-specific playbooks, more precise engine-specific action recommendations, and improved logic for three-layer domain analysis. The company also states that as AI search becomes more widespread, media companies will need to track how much their content influences AI search, and LIFE will provide free reports for media operators on how their domains are referenced by AI search.
