For companies without a marketing team
HubSpot AEO is built for a company already running its marketing on HubSpot, with someone who can read a 0-100 grader score and act on it. A traditional company without a marketing team gets a free score from the AEO Grader but no explanation of what to fix; Leadee's free scan and paid plans are built to be read without HubSpot or a marketing team in place.
Done-for-you GEO
Leadee Experts write the plain-language report and draft the fixes; your team or theirs ships them — quoted per client as a custom request, never shown as a public per-seat price.

Comparison questions
Is HubSpot AEO worth it?
For a company already paying for HubSpot Marketing Hub, folding AI-search tracking into a suite you already use is convenient, and the free AEO Grader is a genuinely fast way to get a first score. As a standalone $50/mo product with 25 prompts across 3 engines, it is a narrower tool than a dedicated GEO platform.
What is the HubSpot AI Search Grader?
A free, one-time snapshot at hubspot.com/aeo-grader. You fill in 4 fields (company name, location, products, industry), and it returns a 0-100 score built from sentiment, presence quality, recognition, share of voice and competition, after querying GPT-5.4 mini, Perplexity and Gemini — in "under two minutes" by HubSpot's own claim. It then upsells HubSpot AEO at $50/mo.
How is Leadee's free scan different from the HubSpot AEO Grader?
Leadee's free scan asks only for a URL — no company name, location, product or industry fields — and the result is not gated behind a lead form. It is one scan rather than a 0-100 composite score, and it leads into a $29/mo Starter plan with no HubSpot subscription required.
Does HubSpot AEO include Claude?
Not published. HubSpot AEO's own product page names ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity; Claude is not mentioned.
Does Leadee guarantee AI rankings?
No. No GEO vendor, including Leadee or HubSpot AEO, can guarantee a ranking or mention in an AI answer engine. Leadee publishes a confidence interval on every metric instead of a guarantee.
Can GEO guarantee results?
No. AI answer engines change their output frequently, and no vendor — including Leadee — can guarantee a ranking or a mention. Leadee publishes confidence intervals on every metric so you can see how much a result can vary run to run.
How does Leadee measure AI visibility?
Leadee runs your prompt set against each AI engine on a weekly to daily schedule, depending on plan, through official vendor APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Anthropic, DataForSEO) — never by scraping consumer chat interfaces — and reports mention rate, citation rate, average position, share of voice and sentiment with a 95% confidence interval.
