Built for Multi-location
AI search visibility for multi-location businesses
AI search visibility for multi-location businesses examines how a brand appears in AI answers across location contexts. AEO Pal, the AEO & GEO platform, supports one selected country, state, or city per brand on every plan. Multiple locations and ZIP-level Local Tracking for the same brand require Enterprise.
The buyer question
Why separate brand count from location coverage?
A business with several locations is not necessarily a portfolio of separate brands. Define which brand is being investigated and which capture locations it needs. Five brands with independent single locations on Agency is a different scope from one brand tracked across several cities or ZIP codes.
Keep the location in the prompt and the selected capture location explicit. A question about a service in Austin does not by itself establish that the answer was captured there. Review both pieces of context before comparing evidence or proposing updates to a location page.

Locations and plan fit
Which tracking scope fits your brands?
Starter and Agency support one country, state, or city per brand. Agency allows each of its five brands to choose independently. Enterprise adds multiple countries, states, cities, and ZIP codes, plus multi-language and multi-region tracking.
Local Tracking across multiple locations is Enterprise only. Core Live Capture, source analysis, audits, and Fix Queue are included on every plan, so a single-location investigation can start on a self-serve plan.
| Plan | Brands | Engines |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 brand | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini |
| Agency | 5 brands, each with its own location | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini |
| Enterprise | Unlimited brands | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Grok, Claude |

How do local findings become a website task?
Identify the exact brand, prompt, capture location, and cited source. Check the corresponding first-party location page before briefing an update. A missing service explanation and an unlinked brand mention need different interpretations.
Use the proposed fix to improve information you control. A published page update does not guarantee a local recommendation. Continue reviewing captured answers and referral evidence without treating a website update as control over an AI engine’s decision.
FAQ
Multi-location questions
No. Agency supports five brands, each with one selected country, state, or city. Tracking multiple locations or ZIP codes for the same brand requires Enterprise Local Tracking. Define the number of brands separately from location coverage so the reporting scope does not imply a capability that the selected plan does not include.
Starter supports one brand and one selected country, state, or city, with daily tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, and Gemini. It includes the core audit, source, content, and publishing workflow. Enterprise is required for multiple locations or ZIP-level tracking for the same brand, rather than for every local-business investigation.
Publish Connectors supports native WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow connections on every plan. Fix Queue proposes website changes that the user approves individually or authorizes for auto-publishing. Keep the proposal tied to the relevant location page and verify the brand’s current service information before choosing a publishing approach.
Keep the brand, prompt, selected capture location, cited sources, mentions, and sentiment clear when interpreting an observation. Client Reports is available on Agency and Enterprise, but multiple capture locations for one brand require Enterprise. An answer about a city should not be treated as evidence of capture from that city unless that context matches.
