Dokeo decides if it ships
Solo marketers and small teams that want an affordable AI-visibility tracking dashboard.

Otterly tells you what AI cited. Dokeo makes sure the next piece will get cited.
Per Dokeo's own scoring methodology [S1], the gate is deterministic: the same draft returns the same verdict every time, which is what makes it safe to block a CI pipeline on.
- SEO, AEO, and GEO checks run in a single pass, across all 17 supported content types [S2].
- Every FAIL names the specific check that failed and why - no black-box review.
- 100 free scans a month, no credit card, same gate as production.
