FAQ · How this weekly AI ranking works

  • Which SEO tools does ChatGPT recommend this week?

    This week Semrush is the SEO tool ChatGPT recommends most — DECA Score 100.0, out of 58 platforms tracked. The table above ranks the entire field, keyword research suites to site audit tools.

  • How is this SEO tools ranking calculated, and how often does it update?

    We ask ChatGPT what practitioners typically ask — best tool for keyword research, which platform for technical audits — and measure every brand it names, weekly, by frequency and prominence. Details on DECA Score and Mention Rate are in the methodology.

  • What changed in this week's SEO tools ranking?

    The week's biggest jump came from Serpstat, moving from #55 to #33. Alchemer Listings Management entered the chart for the first time.

  • Are SEO tools and GEO tools the same category?

    No — and the difference matters. SEO tools optimize for search engine rankings; GEO tools measure and improve how AI engines mention your brand. This chart covers SEO software; see the GEO tools chart for the AI-visibility category.

  • How should I read this chart?

    The line under the title gives the context: the week, the number of tools ranked, and the AI model and country the answers came from. Each row tracks weekly movement (▲▼), DECA Score, and Mention Rate. The top eight show first, and Show all opens the rest. Segment filters and the week selector let you slice and rewind. To see which tools moved up this week and what they changed on their pages, open the Weekly Breakouts tab. The full key is in how to read this chart.
