The Problem
SaaS founders ask the same Reddit question every week: 'how do I track whether my SaaS shows up in AI search results?' Most tools cost $300+/mo or only check ChatGPT. Founders want a daily snapshot across SERP, AI Overviews, ChatGPT prompts, Perplexity, and Reddit — without writing five integrations.
The Scavio Solution
Build the monitor on Scavio's SERP with `include_ai_overview: true` plus Reddit search per brand keyword. Schedule a daily run, store the citation set per surface in DuckDB, and flag deltas. Pair with a weekly prompt-study script that hits ChatGPT and Perplexity for the same prompt set. Total cost stays under $30/mo for a solo founder.
Before
$300+/mo for partial AEO tools, no Reddit signal, no SERP context.
After
Daily multi-surface snapshot, Reddit included, $30/mo total, customizable.
Who It Is For
SaaS founders, indie AEO/GEO consultants, and small marketing teams that want their own AI search visibility snapshot.
Key Benefits
- AI Overview citations in the SERP call
- Reddit brand mentions in the same dashboard
- DuckDB-friendly typed JSON
- Daily cadence on a solo budget
- Self-hosted, no SaaS lock-in
Python Example
import os, requests, datetime, duckdb
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
db = duckdb.connect('aeo.duckdb')
db.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS visibility(brand TEXT, surface TEXT, url TEXT, date DATE)')
def snap(brand):
today = datetime.date.today()
serp = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/google',
headers=H, json={'query': brand, 'include_ai_overview': True}).json()
for c in (serp.get('ai_overview') or {}).get('citations', []):
db.execute('INSERT INTO visibility VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)', (brand, 'ai_overview', c, today))
rdt = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search',
headers=H, json={'query': brand}).json()
for p in rdt.get('posts', [])[:10]:
db.execute('INSERT INTO visibility VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)', (brand, 'reddit', p.get('url',''), today))JavaScript Example
const H = { 'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'content-type': 'application/json' };
async function snap(brand) {
const serp = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/google', {
method: 'POST', headers: H,
body: JSON.stringify({ query: brand, include_ai_overview: true })
}).then(r => r.json());
const rdt = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search', {
method: 'POST', headers: H,
body: JSON.stringify({ query: brand })
}).then(r => r.json());
return { ao: serp.ai_overview, reddit: rdt.posts };
