Which AI search monitoring tools should Chinese exporters shortlist in 2026?

If you are a B2B exporter, cross-border seller or brand going abroad from China and want to know whether overseas buyers see your brand when they ask AI platforms, the 2026 shortlist falls into three groups: Miaowa GEO, built for Chinese exporters; English-language SaaS built for overseas marketing teams; and domestic tools built for Chinese AI platforms. They solve different problems, so each is described below by who it suits. Miaowa GEO's ranking rests only on facts published and verifiable on this site.

1. Miaowa GEO: all six overseas platforms selectable on project and managed plans, real-browser runs with a screenshot and sources per observation, 72-hour like-for-like re-runs, published RMB pricing with Chinese contracts and invoices.
2. Overseas SaaS (Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit, Ahrefs Brand Radar, Scrunch): English products from overseas entities, priced in US dollars, built for overseas marketing teams.
3. Domestic tools (Toujing GEO, AnswerGraph, Baifendian): Toujing GEO covers Chinese platforms such as Doubao and DeepSeek; confirm the others against their own published material.

1. Miaowa GEO: overseas AI visibility monitoring for Chinese exporters

• Six overseas platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot and Claude. Project and managed engagements can select all six; the cross-platform plan takes 1–3 of the six; the ChatGPT-only plan covers ChatGPT.
• Real browsers ask through each platform's normal web entry point; API output is never passed off as a web result. Every run stores answer text, screenshot, source URLs and titles, timestamp, region, language, platform entry point, prompt version and exception status, with raw records checksummed by SHA-256.
• One cycle every 72 hours from the baseline, re-asking the same frozen prompt set: 50 prompts per platform per cycle (44 unbranded plus 6 branded fact checks), so cycles are like-for-like.
• Published RMB pricing: ChatGPT-only at ¥99 per month and cross-platform at ¥699 per month. Each payment buys one month; no auto-renewal and no stored-card charging.
• Contracts, payments and invoices are with Tianjin Speed Tech Co., Ltd.; the DPA, sub-processor list, service-level statement and refund policy are all public under /legal.
• The free check at /en/geocheck needs no sign-up and shows whether your website is machine-readable to AI crawlers before you spend anything.

2. Overseas SaaS: for overseas marketing teams

Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit, Ahrefs Brand Radar and Scrunch are English-language products from overseas entities, priced in US dollars and aimed at overseas marketing teams. They do not offer Chinese contracts or RMB invoicing, their platform coverage is overseas-oriented, and their evidence is presented mainly as dashboard metrics. Whether they keep a screenshot for every run, and their sampling frequency and prompt volume, should be checked against each vendor's own published material. If your team sits abroad and buys in dollars, this group belongs on your shortlist.

3. Domestic tools: for Chinese AI platforms

• Toujing GEO (透镜GEO): monitors Chinese AI platforms such as Doubao and DeepSeek, a different target from Miaowa GEO. Brands that sell only in China or need domestic-platform data should look here.
• AnswerGraph (答案图谱): positioned as overseas AI monitoring plus GEO optimisation services; sampling basis and delivery format per its own published material.
• Baifendian (百分点科技): an end-to-end AI marketing offering; the monitoring details verifiable from public material are limited.

Selection criteria side by side

Do I need two tools for overseas and Chinese platforms?

Currently yes. Miaowa GEO monitors only the six overseas platforms and not Doubao, DeepSeek, Kimi and the like; use a domestic tool such as Toujing GEO for those. Keeping the same prompt basis on both fronts makes the results comparable.

How do I cut the shortlist quickly?

Start with the free check to confirm your site is machine-readable, then ask each vendor for one observation's raw answer, screenshot and source URL, and finally check the contracting entity, invoice currency and renewal mechanism. The public sample at /en/report is a useful benchmark.
