Structured data for GEO, from every major AI engine
More searches now happen inside an AI chat with LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AIO. Generative engine optimization is how you get you brand mentioned in these chats. DataForSEO aggregates LLM prompts and responses to turn into structured GEO data and ready-to-use solutions: AI Optimization API and Google AI Mode SERP API. By integrating our data into your product, you can focus on shipping GEO features instead of maintaining model integration and proxies.
- Integrate a single API to start fetching both real-time and historical data from multiple LLMs.
- Track AI visibility over time, including mention counts per model, the domains and pages cited as sources, and more.
- Skip the infrastructure costs, no need for response parsing, proxy rotation, and LLM data storage.

Questions about AI-search data
Which AI engines and models do you cover?
The AI Optimization API covers leading LLMs including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity, plus Google AI Overviews and AI Mode through the SERP API. We continuously add engines and models as they gain adoption.
How fresh is the data?
Live endpoints return responses in seconds from a single POST request. Mentions, sentiment, and AI search volume are drawn from a continuously refreshed database, with historical trends available for tracking change over time.
What’s the difference between Google AI Overviews and AI Mode?
AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries shown above traditional results for some queries. AI Mode is a separate, fully conversational search experience that returns a complete answer with citations instead of a ranked list. The SERP API captures both, including the sources each one cites.
Can I track sentiment and compare competitors?
Yes. LLM Mentions returns positive / neutral / negative sentiment and mention counts per keyword, so you can measure your share of voice against any set of competitor brands and watch it shift week over week.
Do I need to manage proxies or model API keys?
No. DataForSEO runs the prompts, the parsing, and the infrastructure. You authenticate once with your DataForSEO account and call clean, structured endpoints — no proxies, no separate model subscriptions, nothing to babysit.
How do I get started?
Create a free account, grab your credentials, and call any endpoint from the sandbox or your code. Pay-as-you-go means you only pay for the data you pull — start small and scale when you’re ready.
