Is Solarly a solar energy company?

No. Despite the name, Solarly has nothing to do with solar panels, photovoltaics, roof analysis, or renewable energy hardware. Solarly is a software platform that audits websites for AI-readiness — how visible they are to LLM crawlers like GPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.

What does Solarly provide?

Solarly provides ongoing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). It starts with a transparent site baseline, models the business and its evidence, identifies high-intent discovery gaps, prepares governed improvements, and measures qualified traffic and outcomes over time.

How is GEO related to SEO?

SEO helps a business become findable in search. GEO builds on that foundation so generative systems can more accurately understand, verify, cite, and recommend the business when a customer asks a relevant question.

Can customers control what Solarly changes?

Yes. The Solarly Controller lets customers configure audiences, offers, evidence, connected site surfaces, approval rules, and automation policies. Meaningful changes remain inspectable and governed.
