Volume Nine, a prominent digital marketing agency, has launched the GEO Grader, a free, cutting-edge tool designed to measure and optimize brands’ visibility in AI-driven search systems. The tool provides actionable insights into AI search performance, helping businesses stay ahead of digital trends.

DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2026 / Volume Nine, a Denver-based digital marketing agency founded in 2007, has launched the GEO Grader, a new tool that helps brands assess how they stack against emerging best practices in AI SEO visibility. As platforms like ChatGPT and Google’s AI experiences reshape how people discover products and services, the GEO Grader gives brands a clearer starting point: whether AI systems can find a site, understand what the brand does, and trust it enough to recommend.

AI-powered search systems like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini are reshaping how brands are discovered. Volume Nine’s GEO Grader is the first tool that gives businesses practical next steps to improve their standing in these new, AI-driven environments.

Understanding the Impact of AI Search on Brand Visibility

With the rise of AI-powered search tools, companies are facing a new frontier in digital marketing. Traditional SEO metrics, such as page rankings, no longer capture the full picture of a brand’s success in today’s AI-powered landscape. Searches riven by artificial intelligence focus not just on keywords but on how a brand is understood, cited, and recommended across the internet.

The GEO Grader allows businesses to analyze their “readiness” for AI search visibility by providing a detailed report that highlights where they are succeeding and where they may be falling short. The tool identifies gaps in AI search best practices and helps brands understand how they are being represented or misunderstood within the generative search space.

Natalie Henley, CEO of Volume Nine, shared her thoughts: “AI search isn’t the future; it’s already here, and brands need to know what to do in order to show up in these platforms. The GEO Grader gives businesses the insights they need today, not predictions for tomorrow. We’ve created a tool that helps brands assess how AI-ready they are and shows them how to improve their visibility.”

A New Tool for a New Era of Search

The launch of the GEO Grader marks a significant shift in digital marketing strategy. Emerging AI SEO tools evaluate brands on vague categories, but they don’t offer the kind of insight businesses need to optimize for AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini. With AI becoming a dominant force in search, getting started to ensure your brand is represented within these platforms is crucial for staying ahead of the competition.

The GEO Grader provides brands with actionable steps to optimize their content, messaging, and presence in AI search results. By evaluating a brand’s AI readiness, businesses can align their digital marketing strategies to meet the demands of an AI-driven landscape.
