SEORCE vs Waikay
Waikay maps what AI knows. SEORCE changes what it knows, and ranks you too. Waikay, short for What AI Knows About You, comes from the InLinks team and brings real entity and knowledge-graph thinking to GEO. It is sharp on brand understanding and gaps, but it is not a full search platform. SEORCE pairs that AI work with the whole SEO stack.
Waikay vs SEORCE, in brief.
Waikay. Waikay, short for What AI Knows About You, is an entity-based Generative Engine Optimisation platform from the InLinks team that uses knowledge-graph analysis to show how AI models understand a brand, distinguishing training-data answers from grounded ones. It offers topical-presence scoring, a Fact Tracker for hallucinations and prioritised GEO action plans across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity.
SEORCE. SEORCE is an AI-powered SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) platform that unifies traditional search and AI visibility in one system. It brings AI Beacon for AI visibility, Keyword Explorer, Content Studio, the Technical Suite with one-click AutoFix, Rank Tracker, Web Analytics and Backlinks together, all reading from one source of truth. Its defining difference in AI visibility is citation depth: beyond the domain an AI answer cited, SEORCE shows the exact source, the specific Reddit thread, YouTube video or page, and whether the AI cited it or only consulted it. It is built for brands and agencies worldwide, mid-market and enterprise, with an API on Agency plans and above.
The short version. Waikay is a strong fit for AI visibility. SEORCE is the more complete platform when you want AI visibility and the full SEO stack together, the exact source behind every AI answer, and the fixes applied rather than only flagged.
About Waikay.
Waikay, short for What AI Knows About You, is an entity-based Generative Engine Optimisation platform from the InLinks team that uses knowledge-graph analysis to show how AI models understand a brand, distinguishing training-data answers from grounded ones. It offers topical-presence scoring, a Fact Tracker for hallucinations and prioritised GEO action plans across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity.
Waikay is distinctive: it separates what models know from training data versus grounded search, scores topical presence on a competitive quadrant, tracks the exact sources cited, flags hallucinations with a Fact Tracker and turns gaps into prioritised GEO Action Plans, across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity.
It is an AI-visibility and action-planning tool, though, not a search platform. There is no Google rank tracking, no backlink index and no broad technical suite with one-click fixes, and reviewers note reporting and integrations are still maturing.
About SEORCE.
SEORCE is an AI-powered SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) platform that unifies traditional search and AI visibility in one system. It brings AI Beacon for AI visibility, Keyword Explorer, Content Studio, the Technical Suite with one-click AutoFix, Rank Tracker, Web Analytics and Backlinks together, all reading from one source of truth. Its defining difference in AI visibility is citation depth: beyond the domain an AI answer cited, SEORCE shows the exact source, the specific Reddit thread, YouTube video or page, and whether the AI cited it or only consulted it. It is built for brands and agencies worldwide, mid-market and enterprise, with an API on Agency plans and above.
Waikay turns gaps into action plans, but a plan is not a published page. SEORCE's Content Studio learns your brand and writes blogs, product and collection pages, authority explainers, case studies, how-to guides and comparison pages, each built to rank on Google and be cited by AI, with content-gap analysis and fact alignment so the entities and facts AI reads about you are correct.
And SEORCE brings the search half Waikay leaves out: keyword research, rank tracking, a Technical Suite with one-click AutoFix and Backlinks, on a live index of 7.5T pages, all from one source of truth, with an API on Agency plans and above, and it is GDPR and CCPA compliant and SOC 2 ready.
The honest side-by-side.
Waikay tells you what AI understands and what to do. SEORCE does that and the doing.

How each platform handles the six jobs.
AI visibility (GEO and AEO)
AI visibility, the heart of Generative Engine Optimisation and Answer Engine Optimisation, is about whether AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews mention, cite and recommend your brand, and how they describe it. As buyers increasingly ask AI before they search, being absent from the answer means being invisible at the moment of decision.
How Waikay approaches it
Waikay covers this.
How SEORCE approaches it
SEORCE's AI Beacon tracks citations across 7 AI engines plus Google AI Overview, AI Mode and Search, with sentiment and competitor share of answer. Its defining difference is citation depth: it shows the exact source behind an answer, the specific Reddit thread, YouTube video or page, and whether the AI cited it or only consulted it, so you know precisely what to act on.
Traditional SEO: keywords and rankings
AI answers do not replace Google. Most discovery still passes through classic search, so keyword research and rank tracking remain the backbone of organic growth, and they feed the same content AI engines cite.
How Waikay approaches it
Waikay does not include this; teams add a separate tool for it.
How SEORCE approaches it
SEORCE includes Keyword Explorer for demand and intent clustering and a Rank Tracker for weekly Google and Bing positions and AI Overview placement, in the same platform as AI Beacon. Search and AI are tracked side by side, not in two disconnected tools.
Content generation
Visibility gaps are closed with content. The pages that rank on Google and get cited by AI are accurate, well-structured and useful, which is why content production is now part of the visibility stack rather than a separate job.
How Waikay approaches it
Waikay does not include this; teams add a separate tool for it.
How SEORCE approaches it
Content Studio learns your brand, then writes the full range, blogs, product and collection pages, authority explainers, case studies, how-to guides and comparison pages, each built to rank on Google and be cited by AI, with content-gap analysis and fact alignment so the answers about you stay accurate.
Technical SEO and one-click fixes
If AI crawlers and search engines cannot access or understand your pages, nothing else matters. Technical SEO covers crawlability, indexing, structured data and AI-crawler readiness, and the value is in fixing issues rather than only listing them.
How Waikay approaches it
Waikay does not include this; teams add a separate tool for it.
How SEORCE approaches it
The Technical Suite runs a full crawl and audit with index and AI-crawler readiness checks, and AutoFix applies common on-page fixes in a click rather than handing you a backlog. The work gets done inside the platform.
Backlinks and authority
Authority still shapes both rankings and which sources AI engines trust. A backlink data layer shows who links to you, the quality of those links, and where to earn the ones that move the needle.
How Waikay approaches it
Waikay does not include this; teams add a separate tool for it.
How SEORCE approaches it
Backlinks runs on a live index of 7.5T pages and 724.0M root domains (September 2026), with spam-score, toxicity and citation-potential scoring, so you act on the links that build authority.
Analytics and AI traffic
Visibility only matters if it drives outcomes. Analytics ties rankings and AI mentions to traffic, conversions and revenue, including the growing share of visits referred by AI platforms.

How SEORCE approaches it
Web Analytics tracks behaviour across channels with AI-referral tracking and conversion and ROI reporting in one view, so AI visibility connects to the numbers leadership cares about.

Moving from Waikay to SEORCE.
Teams often run Waikay for AI visibility alongside a traditional SEO suite such as Ahrefs or Semrush, a technical crawler like Screaming Frog, and GA4 for analytics. Consolidating into SEORCE replaces that stack: connect your domain and import keywords and competitors, point AI Beacon at the prompts that matter, run the Technical Suite and queue AutoFixes, brief Content Studio on the gaps, then retire the overlapping subscriptions. Your historical data stays in the old tools for reference while SEORCE becomes the single source of truth.
