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 the Brand Presence Intelligence platform for founders. The Brand Intelligence section scores all 3 BPI components (Brand Readiness across 7 pillars including AI Readiness, Web Presence, and AI Visibility) and runs the citation graph. FormsAI, Pages, Dashboard, and AI Agents are supporting capabilities that operationalize the workflow.
DataEase AI is the only platform that brings all 3 BPI components together in one - and autonomously fixes and improves across many marketing layers (content, structured data, on-page fixes, published pages, and citation surface), with low-risk changes shipping on their own and high-impact changes routed to you for approval.
LightSite is deep GEO infrastructure and execution focused on AI search discoverability, backed by proprietary AI-crawler data. DataEase AI is broader Brand Presence Intelligence: it scores all 3 components (Brand Readiness, Web Presence, AI Visibility), autonomously executes across marketing layers, and includes branding, forms, pages, and dashboard in one workspace.
