LightSite (lightsite.ai) is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) infrastructure and execution platform. It deploys machine-readable layers on your domain - AI sitemaps, JSON-LD, agent manifests, and a Skills API - uses proprietary crawl data from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, and runs a closed loop of detect, fix, generate pages, and measure. A free GEO Checker evaluates AI-search readiness.
DataEase AI is a discovery and growth platform for founder-led businesses, built on Brand Presence Intelligence. It finds where buyers overlook your brand across 3 AI engines, ranks the opportunity that matters, and puts agents to work preparing the fix, with you in control and results tracked over time.
Unlike traditional SEO dashboards and AI visibility monitoring tools, DataEase AI is designed for founders who need the work done, not another set of reports or recommendations to manage. Agents prepare the content, structured data, on-page fixes and published pages; low-risk changes ship on their own, and high-impact changes wait for your approval.
LightSite is GEO infrastructure and execution focused on AI search discoverability, backed by proprietary AI-crawler data. DataEase AI starts from the buyer question: it finds where AI answers overlook you across 3 engines, ranks the one opportunity that matters, and has agents prepare the fix for your approval.
