Ad Agencies Innovate with 'Vibe Coding' for GEO Tools
Ad agencies including Havas, Broadhead and Supergood are rapidly building bespoke generative engine optimization (GEO) tools on top of large language models using coding assistants like Anthropic’s Claude Code and platforms such as Replit. Havas developed Brand Insights AI to generate prompts, run them across multiple models and analyze brand appearances; the platform is licensed as SaaS and deployed across nearly 100 countries in 60+ languages. Broadhead and Supergood have also created in‑house GEO monitoring and model‑driven workflows—Broadhead prototyped a monitoring tool in hours, while Supergood uses Anthropic models under an enterprise agreement for multiple applications. Agencies say in‑house solutions offer control, cost management and flexibility compared with off‑the‑shelf vendors, even as startups (Profound, Bluefish, Emberos) offer competing GEO services.
Agencies productizing GEO tools on LLMs affects how brands manage visibility in AI-driven discovery, introduces new vendor/agency capabilities and could shift SEO practices and vendor dynamics across marketing teams.
