MAXAEO vs Loyally

MAXAEO helps brands get cited and recommended when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews for answers. It is built for CMOs and marketing leaders who need visibility in the AI answer layer, not just traditional search rankings. The goal is simple: when someone asks an AI engine who to trust in your category, your brand is the one it names.

The consultancy specializes in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Senior strategists run authority audits, engineer brand entity signals, and reshape content so AI engines can extract, cite, and recommend it. Work spans Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Mistral, and other major answer platforms.

MAXAEO also ships a free GEO toolkit with generators for llms.txt, robots.txt, JSON-LD schema, Open Graph tags, and humans.txt. These are quick-start utilities for technically skilled teams, while the core offering remains hands-on strategic consulting with live share-of-voice tracking.

It fits B2B brands competing in categories where AI search is already reshaping discovery, especially teams that want measured citation share and displacement of competitor answer slots rather than keyword rank reports alone.

Loyally puts your loyalty program inside Apple Wallet and Google Wallet so customers never install another app. Local shops design stamp, points, membership, or coupon cards in a drag-and-drop builder, share a QR or link, and track every visit in a built-in CRM. A free scanner app on any staff phone records stamps while unlimited push notifications nudge customers about waiting rewards.

Most loyalty vendors either charge extra for push messaging or gate CRM tools behind higher tiers. Loyally includes unlimited PUSH, a scanner app, CRM, and API access on the $12 Starter plan, scaling mainly by location count rather than message volume. That pricing shape favors a single-location cafe sending frequent marketing nudges more than a chain paying per SMS.

The platform fits independent cafes, salons, barbershops, restaurants, gyms, and retail boutiques that depend on foot traffic. Owners use it to replace paper cards, automate slow-day offers, and win back customers who have not visited in weeks. Published case studies cite thousands of new regulars and five-figure revenue lifts after switching from plastic.
