Botify
Updated 2026-10-02Enterprise AEO/GEO and technical SEO platform built on first-party crawl and log data, serving 500+ customers across 30 countries and funded with $82M. Recent releases added PageWorkers at Edge, AgenticCatalog GA, and Markdown delivery for AI bots.
Three scores, refreshed weekly from live market signals rather than a once-a-year analyst report. Presence is how established a vendor is in the market right now. Velocity is how fast they are shipping, raising, and winning customers. Agent Readiness is how easily your own agents can build on them through an API, MCP server, SDK, or CLI. Scores are relative across the vendors we track; the raw inputs ship in the downloadable dataset.
The Solution & Approach
Botify is an enterprise SEO incumbent that has extended its full-site crawling, server-log analysis, and search data into AEO/GEO. AI Visibility measures mentions, citations, sentiment, and competitive position across Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, and Perplexity using crawl, Google Search Console, log, and visit data.
Its distinction is first-party crawler telemetry rather than prompt scraping. LogAnalyzer tracks major AI bots, while SpeedWorkers and PageWorkers change how content is delivered and understood by those bots.
Botify is also moving from measurement into distribution. AgenticCatalog turns reviews, Q&A, and product-page details into feeds for OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol and Google's Universal Commerce Protocol.
Best for
Large retailers, publishers, and other enterprises with complex sites that need technical SEO, AI-bot telemetry, AEO/GEO measurement, and managed implementation in one platform.
Pricing & trial
Pricing not public; Botify is enterprise sales-led through a request-a-demo funnel, with no self-serve tier or public free trial identified.
