We are introducing GEO Pulse that builds out our GEO Suite offerings alongside GEO Studio. GEO Pulse is a new dashboard that provides users with insights into how their locations are performing in AI recommendations. More people are asking AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews to recommend a business near them, instead of searching the web themselves. GEO Pulse shows you whether your locations are part of that answer.
It's a monthly diagnostic, built into your Dashboard, that tracks how each of your locations appears across AI search engines: how often you're mentioned, how you compare to competitors nearby, and where you're being overlooked.

Your Inbox now gives you a clearer, more consistent view of which reviews still need a reply.
Reviews that were replied to, but later edited by the reviewer, are now correctly counted as answered. You'll still see them flagged as Updated, so you know a fresh look might be worth your time, but they won't confuse your unanswered count anymore.
This also means the reply counts you see in the Inbox now match the Review Reply Rate in your Dashboard. If you've noticed the two numbers telling slightly different stories, that's resolved with this update.
