What is Balu AI?

Balu AI is a platform for local and multi-location brands, and its Balu GEO module monitors how AI assistants talk about a business. Smart Prompts run your own questions regularly against ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Gemini, with add-ons for Grok, Llama, DeepSeek, Google AI Mode and Claude. For each answer it notes if your brand was mentioned, where it ranked and which sources the answer used, then condenses mentions, position and citations into an AI Visibility Score. Citation Insights, competitive benchmarking, live mentions with alerts, AI traffic analysis and recommended actions such as missing directory entries or structured data show where to fix gaps. Prompts can be evaluated by region, since the same question can return different answers in different cities. The wider platform also covers local listings, social posts and review management. Plans are Starter at 59 € / Monat, Professional at 139 € / Monat and Enterprise from 399 € / Monat, with a trial that needs no payment details.
