Hikoo is a generative engine optimization (GEO) platform for marketing teams and agencies that want AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to recommend their brand. Its tagline, "Your tools measure. Hikoo acts," describes the focus: instead of only reporting visibility scores, it fixes pages, writes content and contacts the sources that AI engines cite.
The company was founded in February 2026 by Timothé Merle, who is CTO, and Gabriel Toledano, who is CEO. Both previously cofounded a web and SEO agency. Hikoo is incubated at Campus Founders and went through the Builders Factory program. Its site states that more than 200 brands use it and that it is GDPR compliant.
Hikoo connects to an AI visibility platform you already use, such as Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Promptwatch, LLMrefs or Rankscale, or it relies on its own Hikoo Monitoring. It takes the signals from that data and turns them into work across four fronts: your site, your content, your citations and your results.
To start, you connect your site and list your competitors. Hikoo generates the questions your customers ask AI, then works within the rules you set. For each front you choose whether actions go out automatically or wait for your approval, and every action is recorded in a history. A team member also scopes the work with you.
On the site front, Hikoo audits up to 5,000 pages a month on the Agent plan and prepares fixes such as clear headings, structured data and FAQs. On the content front, it builds briefs from the criteria AI engines cite, writes pages for unanswered questions and refreshes outdated ones. Its outreach agent finds the right contact at a cited source, writes a message that offers something useful and tracks follow-ups.
The visibility layer tracks questions daily by engine and country, compares share of voice with up to 20 competitors, shows cited sources and measures answer sentiment on every plan. Results are tied to actions in a Monday summary and engine-by-engine reports. Extras include an MCP server for Claude and Cursor and free tools such as an AI crawler checker and an llms.txt generator.
Hikoo is a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform for marketing teams and agencies. It turns AI visibility data into action by fixing pages, writing content and contacting sources that AI engines cite. The goal is to have ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other engines recommend the brand.

Yes to both. The Free plan tracks 10 questions on ChatGPT with 2 competitors and 100 pages audited per month. Monitoring and Growth also come with a 7-day free trial, with no credit card required.
ChatGPT is tracked from the Free plan, Gemini is added with Monitoring, and Perplexity and Copilot with Growth. The Agent plan covers nine engines, adding Claude, Mistral, Grok, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Extra engines can be added to any subscription.
Yes. Hikoo connects to platforms such as Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Promptwatch, LLMrefs and Rankscale, or it can use its own Hikoo Monitoring. It then acts on that data through page fixes, content, outreach and reports.
Yes. For each front (site fixes, content publishing, emails to sources and the weekly summary), you choose whether actions run automatically or wait for approval. Every action is logged in the history.
Not to get started, since Hikoo reads the site the way AI reads it. To go further, available connections and possible changes are confirmed before activation, depending on your CMS and access.
Hikoo says citation gains usually build up over 4 to 8 weeks, which is the time AI engines need to reread fixed pages and new content. It adds that this is not an exact science and depends on industry, competition and the engines tracked.
