August 1, 2026
FID Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Seito Wada, hereinafter "FID") began official provision of its Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform, "Genview," on August 1, 2026.
Genview has been available as a beta version since April 2026, used by approximately 30 companies. Based on feedback gathered during the beta period, FID has fully revised the platform's evaluation approach, core features, and pricing structure for this official release.

Genview's Philosophy
Genview's concept is to help brands become "correctly understood" and "chosen" by AI.
There is often a gap between the "ideal AI perception" a company wants to convey (its own strengths) and the "actual evaluation" given by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok. Genview is a Japan-born GEO platform that visualizes this gap and derives concrete improvement actions to help brands get chosen in AI search.
This area of optimization for the generative AI era is also referred to as "AIO" (AI Optimization) or "LLMO" (LLM Optimization) in addition to "GEO." While multiple terms exist, they all refer to the same goal — being correctly recognized and chosen by AI — and Genview is a platform that covers this entire domain.
Why Brand Perception Improvement and Query Improvement Matter
With the spread of generative AI and AI search, consumers now gather information and compare options through conversations with AI, not just search engines. Genview's goal is to deliver accurate information to AI so that a client company's name, brand, and services are properly mentioned, cited, and referenced when consumers use AI.
As traditional search-driven traffic is said to be declining, responding to AI search helps brands get chosen by AI at every stage — awareness, comparison, and purchase. This is why "Brand Perception Improvement" and "Query Improvement" are the core features of the official release.
Key Changes in the Official Release
Change 1: Retiring the Single "GEO Score" in Favor of Multi-Dimensional Visualization
In the beta version, mentions, ranking, sentiment, and recommendations across five AIs were evaluated on four axes and consolidated into a single "GEO Score" (0–100) using a proprietary algorithm. The official release retires this single-score display in favor of a more detailed visualization based on two axes: Brand Perception Improvement and Query Improvement.
Change 2: The Flagship Features Are "Brand Perception Improvement" and "Query Improvement"
Brand Perception Improvement: Visualizes how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok perceive your brand, identifies gaps against your ideal brand image, and proposes improvements.
Query Improvement: For each registered query, visualizes how the five AIs treat your brand using concrete figures — mention count, reference count, and registered-URL reference count. Mentions that don't match the facts are flagged as "misperceptions" to prevent them from being overlooked. Each query also includes an "Improvement Suggestion" button that proposes fixes across three areas — content, structure, and external factors — based on the registered URL, allowing users to go from identifying an issue to taking action within a single screen.
Centered on these two features, Genview also offers:
- Site Diagnosis: Checks your site's GEO readiness, including structured data, llms.txt, AI crawler compatibility, XML sitemaps, canonical tags, and E-E-A-T-related information
- Automatic Query Suggestions (by funnel): AI automatically suggests queries to monitor along the ToFu, MoFu, and BoFu funnel stages
- Overall Improvement: Prioritized, site-wide GEO recommendations covering external mentions/citations, structured data, and on-site navigation
- Structured Data (Schema) Generation Support: Generates prioritized structured data based on page content, with guidance on implementation and verification
- llms.txt Generation Support: Supports both Japanese and English versions, from drafting through implementation
- External Site Suggestions: Recommends external media and comparison sites that could serve as sources for AI answers, based on your industry and strengths
- GA4 Integration: Visualizes AI-driven sessions, landing pages, and traffic by source, alongside improvement suggestions
- AI Chat / Competitor Comparison / Monthly Reports: In-dashboard AI consultation, competitor benchmarking, and automated monthly reporting
Designed to Be Self-Sufficient, Even Without Technical Expertise
GEO efforts sometimes require technical work such as structured data (schema) or llms.txt. To lower this barrier, Genview combines AI-powered generation support with rich supporting content such as FAQs and how-to videos, so users can proceed independently even without specialized knowledge.
- Technical tasks like schema and llms.txt can be handled with AI-generated support and step-by-step implementation guidance
- Explainer videos are available throughout the dashboard for self-guided operation
- An in-dashboard AI chat is available for on-the-spot questions about scores and improvement steps
Change 3: Discontinuation of the "Now Score" Feature
The real-time score-checking feature "Now Score," available in the beta version, will be discontinued with the launch of the official release.
Change 4: Consolidated Pricing into a Single Plan with Add-On Options
The beta version offered three tiers — Free, Standard, and Pro. The official release consolidates these into a single "Base" plan, based on the idea that tiered plans often lead customers to pay for features they don't use. Customers can now add the features they need as options, scaled to their operations.
