Cortex

Cortex

Cortex monitors SEO, paid search, GEO, and CRO signals across ten marketing platforms and turns what it finds into optimization recommendations with citations. Built by Capconvert, it pairs 36 always-on Sentry auditors with a 1.4M-passage corpus of platform documentation so every suggestion traces to an official source. You get decisions, not another dashboard full of charts.

Most marketing tools stop at surfacing data and leave the call to you. Cortex ships recommendations in an Action / Reason / Impact format, each tied to a specific paragraph from Google, Meta, Shopify, or another canonical doc. If the corpus cannot defend a claim, Cortex does not write it. That no-source-no-claim rule is the product core constraint, not a marketing line.

It is built for brands and agencies running multi-channel search marketing who want one system instead of separate SEO, PPC, GEO, and CRO retainers. Ecommerce teams get native Shopify, Merchant Center, and catalog-aware Meta Ads Sentries. Capconvert experts sign off on high-stakes changes before they go live, so machine speed does not mean unsupervised execution.

Top Features:
  1. 36 Sentries each watch one signal, from Core Web Vitals to Google Ads account health

  2. Every recommendation cites a passage from a 1.4M-document primary-source corpus

  3. Hybrid BM25 + halfvec(3072) retrieval with Cohere rerank-v3.5, 38 ms p50 latency

  4. Covers ten platforms including Google Ads, Meta, Amazon, Bing, TikTok, and ChatGPT

  5. Ships Action / Reason / Impact decisions instead of raw metric exports

  6. Claude Opus 4.7 powers reasoning under a strict no-source-no-claim output rule

Pros:
  1. One engine covers SEO, GEO, PPC, and CRO instead of juggling separate tools or agency retainers.

  2. Every recommendation cites primary-source documentation, making audits straightforward.

  3. 24/7 Sentry monitoring surfaces issues the moment they appear, not on the next manual dashboard check.

  4. Ecommerce-native integrations with Shopify, Merchant Center, and Klaviyo are built in.

Cons:
  1. Pricing is quote-based with metered usage, so costs are not transparent on the public site.

  2. Minimum organic coverage requires connecting Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console via OAuth.

  3. Paid trials are offered case by case rather than as a self-serve free tier.

  4. Full platform coverage needs multiple OAuth connections beyond the initial activation wizard.

FAQs:

How much does Cortex cost?

Cortex uses a hybrid pricing model with a base subscription plus metered usage for Sentry scans, recommendations, API calls, and LLM tokens. Specific tiers depend on account size and connected platforms. Contact [email protected] or start the activation flow at capconvert.com/cortex/activate for a quote scoped to your profile.

What platforms does Cortex integrate with?

Cortex connects to Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Google Ads, Shopify, Meta Ads, Bing Ads, TikTok, and Klaviyo via OAuth. The minimum organic setup requires GA4 plus Search Console. Paid and ecommerce Sentries activate when you add Google Ads or a Shopify store.

Does Cortex use my data to train AI models?

No. Cortex never uses customer data to train or fine-tune any model. Anthropic and OpenAI do not retain API inputs or outputs for training under Capconvert agreements. Your data is used only to display insights and generate recommendations inside your Cortex dashboard.

What is GEO in Cortex?

GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, is Cortex discipline for earning visibility on AI channels like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Cortex GEO Sentries monitor citation counts, llms.txt posture, robots.txt allow-lists for AI bots, and content structure against each engine published guidance.

How does Cortex make recommendations?

Cortex follows four steps: a Sentry or audit surfaces a question, the corpus retrieves relevant primary-source passages via hybrid BM25 and vector search, Claude Opus 4.7 composes an Action / Reason / Impact recommendation citing those passages, and the result ships with source URLs attached for review.

Does Cortex offer a free trial?

Cortex activation is free to set up with no payment required during onboarding. Paid trials and pilots are available on a case-by-case basis for qualifying accounts, governed by separate trial terms in the activation flow or sales agreement. Contact [email protected] to scope a pilot.

Can agencies use Cortex for client work?

Yes. Agency accounts may use Cortex outputs in client deliverables during active engagements, including edited blog posts, schema blocks, and FAQ pages. Raw Cortex outputs cannot be resold as standalone products or used to train third-party AI systems. Full terms are at capconvert.com/cortex/output-usage-rights.
