Short answer: Geodde or Frase?

Disclaimer: The information in this article comes from our own research into each product, carried out in October 2026. Pricing, features and plans change. Before you make a decision, check each product's own website and speak to the vendor directly to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.


What Frase is and who it's for

Frase now calls itself "The content operating system for AI search". Frase is built for companies of every size, from start-up to enterprise. Frase publishes content automatically to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, Wix and its own hosted FraseCMS, and includes daily AI visibility tracking.

Frase works on recommendations rather than a fixed playbook. Its Opportunity report ranks work by likely payoff, and its Fix Pack ranks the fixes for your site. A feature called Content Guard drafts fixes for pages that are already live. Frase's REST API exposes content, briefs, SERP analysis, AI Visibility tracking, site audits, research and CMS publishing, and it supports webhooks, Zapier, Make and n8n.

Frase expects some hands-on SEO work. You write your own prompt set, and crawler logs need a tracking snippet on your site. A team with a writer or SEO lead will be comfortable with that setup.


What Geodde is and who it's for

We make Geodde, so this is our own product under review. We built Geodde for start-ups and scale-ups, and for the marketer who has to win visibility in AI search without a technical SEO specialist on the team.

We built Geodde to act on what it tracks. Geodde's insight features show where your brand stands in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Mode. Geodde's action features change that position: the Content Editor, interviews with your subject-matter experts and direct publishing to the Webflow CMS. Geodde is not built for large-scale prompt monitoring, so teams that mainly want to watch thousands of prompts are not our core customer.

You can run Geodde yourself, or work with After Search, Geodde's services arm. After Search does the strategy and execution with your team or for you. The work covers:

  • Commercial research into your buyers and the questions they ask.
  • Technical fixes on your site.
  • Targeting the highest-value questions first.
  • Content built from interviews with your team, with human review.
  • Reporting on your AI search visibility.

After Search works on any CMS and is priced on enquiry.

GEO vs SEO: what's the difference, and which one do these tools do?

SEO (search engine optimisation) aims to rank your pages in a list of search results. GEO (generative engine optimisation) aims to get your brand mentioned and cited inside the answers that AI assistants write. The two overlap, because a crawlable site and clear answers help with both.

Geodde and Frase both work on AI search, but they start from different places. Frase keeps SEO tools such as SERP analysis and site audits alongside its AI Visibility tracking, which suits a team that runs SEO and GEO side by side. Geodde starts from the questions your buyers ask AI assistants and builds pages that answer them, so you can run GEO without an SEO background.


How do Geodde and Frase optimise content for AI search?

Frase optimises content through ranked recommendations. The Opportunity report and Fix Pack tell your team what to work on, Content Guard drafts fixes for live pages, and Frase then publishes to your CMS.

Geodde optimises content by building it from your own expertise. Geodde interviews your subject-matter experts, turns those interviews into AI-assisted content in the Content Editor, and stages edits for you to review. Our view is that AI answers cite pages that say something specific, and your experts' knowledge is the part of a page that a competitor can't copy.


Which tool decides your content strategy?

The biggest difference between Geodde and Frase is who decides what to write. Frase ranks the options, and your writer or SEO lead makes the call. Geodde prescribes the playbook: find the highest-value questions your buyers ask, answer them with AI-assisted content from your experts, and earn citations.

If you want a person to own that strategy, After Search does it with your team or for you. Webflow is a partner for Geodde, not a rival. Geodde publishes into the Webflow CMS, and Webflow AEO complements Geodde: Webflow runs your site, and Geodde decides and builds what goes on it.
