Smart SEO
2new
Smart SEO barely registers with AI assistants, landing an overall score of just 2 out of 100. Gemini rates it highest at 5, followed by Perplexity at 3, Claude at 2, and ChatGPT at 0. Across 76 questions tested, Smart SEO was named in only 3 answers total. Its one bright spot: "What's the best SEO tool for a Shopify or ecommerce store?", where it showed up in 3 of 4 answers. Elsewhere, it's a no-show — never named for keyword research, technical SEO audits, data accuracy, value for money, or local business tools like Google Maps ranking.
