Adbrains review (2026): daily AI tracking on 5 engines, sold only with SEO
Adbrains bundles daily tracking on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and AI Overviews with Google and Bing rankings from 149 EUR/mo excl. VAT. GEO is never sold alone.
Adbrains is a performance marketing company, Adbrains B.V. in Rotterdam. Its main business is Google Ads management; it also sells Meta Ads, ChatGPT Ads, SEO and GEO, run on its own platform with marketing experts behind it. This review covers the part that matters for AI visibility: the SEO + GEO package.
The rule to know first: GEO cannot be bought on its own. It always comes bundled with SEO.
Who it's for: Dutch SMEs and webshops, often already Adbrains ad clients, that want Google and Bing rankings and daily AI-answer tracking in one dashboard run from the Netherlands.

What works
Five engines daily on the entry plan. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude are measured every day with web search on. Google AI Overviews are measured through a Google search from your target country. At 149 EUR, five engines at daily cadence is fair value.
One dashboard. Weekly Google and Bing positions sit next to AI answers, with Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and technical SEO in the same place. For a small team with one marketer, that's one login instead of three.
Per prompt and per engine detail. Mentions, citations of your site, competitors, sentiment and cited sources, with country selection per measurement. An action list is fed by missing prompts, citation gaps and negative sentiment. The GEO page's comparison table says AI-chatbot sessions and conversions are shown separately from GA4.
Publishing. On Professional, 5 articles a month go live on WordPress automatically through the Adbrains plugin. On other platforms you copy them over by hand.
A priced managed option. 799 EUR/mo for Adbrains to pick and manage 150 prompts, write 10 articles and request backlinks and mentions. Plenty of agencies won't put a number on that.
What to check before paying
The bundle. If you already have an SEO tool you like, you will pay for a second one to get GEO.
The prompt count. Twenty prompts on Essential is a short list for a webshop with several product categories. Professional's 75 is more realistic.
The language. The pricing page doesn't say which languages the dashboard and prompts support. The pages we read are Dutch. Ask before you buy for a German or French market.
The company's centre of gravity. Adbrains states 15+ years in performance marketing, 100+ active accounts and activity in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, the UK and France. The GEO pages sit inside an ads offer. That's not a flaw, but expect the sales conversation to cover ads.
Where it falls short against a full platform
The AI side stops at the answer and its sources. The pages we read describe no AI bot log and no crawl-to-citation view. If your question is whether ChatGPT can read your new product pages at all, Adbrains doesn't answer it. Prompt research is limited to suggestions based on your brand, offer and competitors; there's no prompt search volume on the pages we read.
When Promptwatch is the better buy
Promptwatch covers the step before the answer. Agent Analytics logs ChatGPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther and Meta AI visits, with a crawl-to-citation path and error tracking, from Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront, Fastly, Vercel, Netlify, Akamai, Google Cloud CDN or custom HTTP. Content Agents publish to Webflow and Framer as well as WordPress, through an official plugin, with a review inbox and content gap analysis. Prompt tracking adds search volumes, difficulty scores and query fan-outs.
Engine coverage is wider: Grok, Copilot, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and Google AI Mode on top of Adbrains' five. Classic Google and Bing rank tracking isn't on Promptwatch's feature list; it connects to Google Search Console instead, so you keep your existing SEO tool next to it.
Plan to compare: Professional at $245/mo, against Adbrains Professional at 349 EUR. You get 150 prompts against 75, 15 AEO articles against 5, plus 25M crawler logs and 1M visitor events. Promptwatch is a Dutch company too, based in Amsterdam, and prices are available in EUR.
Verdict
Adbrains is a sensible bundle for a Dutch SME that wants rankings and AI tracking in one place, and five daily engines at 149 EUR is a good deal. It is an SEO and ads toolkit first, and its AI view ends at the answer. Teams that want to see the crawl before the citation, and publish beyond WordPress, should start with Promptwatch.
