Overview
Brandlight is a SaaS platform for AI Engine Optimization (AEO) that helps brands monitor and influence how large language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity present their narratives. It combines real-time AI visibility and monitoring (brand mentions, sentiment, share of voice, and source attribution) with AI optimization (content recommendations and A/B testing) and reputation management (detecting harmful references and providing corrective actions). The platform supports multiple brands, languages, and regions and is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant; enterprise pricing ranges from $4,000 to $15,000 per month, with an agency partner program. Brandlight positions AI visibility as essential in a zero-sum, single-answer world and aims to help brands control their narrative and expand their enterprise client base.
