Overview

LovedByAI is a SaaS company and WordPress plugin brand focused on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI search visibility. Founded in 2025 by Gilad Leshem, Niv Penso, and Dean Peer, the company positions itself as "the first Set & Forget AI search optimization plugin for WordPress." Its core promise is to make small and medium businesses visible to AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini — without requiring content rewrites, technical knowledge, or an agency. The product works through a four-step method described on the company's website: an audit that scans what AI assistants currently see, an optimization layer that injects AI-ready upgrades (JSON-LD schema markup, BLUF-format rewrites, auto-generated FAQs, an LLMs.txt file, IndexNow, and similar signals) into a separate AI-only view, a recommendation phase in which AI tools begin citing the site with a direct link back, and a monitoring phase that tracks AI mentions. The plugin installs in about 60 seconds and runs continuously in the background. LovedByAI targets the gap left by traditional SEO agencies that have moved upmarket toward enterprise contracts. The company cites an Ahrefs study of 15,000 queries showing that only 12% of AI-cited URLs rank in Google's top 10 for the same prompt, arguing that AI visibility is a distinct discipline from conventional search ranking. It reports 1,300+ active installs and a 4.7 rating on G2. The company is legally known as LovedByAI, Inc., with a US office in Dover, Delaware, and an Israel office in Tel Aviv. Its founders came from accessiBe, a web accessibility platform, and from security software backgrounds, bringing experience in automation at scale and in taking technical products from zero to acquisition. The brand also operates under the aliases GeoGuru and GeoGuruAI. It distributes its plugin through the WordPress plugin directory and maintains a presence on LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and Instagram.

History

LovedByAI was founded in 2025 by Gilad Leshem, Niv Penso, and Dean Peer, and is legally organized as LovedByAI, Inc. The founders describe two converging backgrounds: accessiBe, described as the world's largest web accessibility platform, where they learned how automation can optimize hundreds of thousands of sites without requiring code changes; and security software, where they took technical products from zero to acquisition and learned how small businesses discover and buy software. Their conclusion was that a problem as widespread as AI invisibility would not be solved by consulting but by automation and distribution reaching businesses that would never hire an agency. The company launched its WordPress plugin for Generative Engine Optimization to address what it describes as a critical gap: most WordPress websites are built for human readers and Google's traditional crawler but are effectively invisible to AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, which interpret information differently and require structured, machine-readable signals. LovedByAI's stated mission is to bring small and medium businesses into the AI search era. The product is built around a four-step method. First, a free site scan audits what AI assistants currently see and produces an AI readiness score. Second, an optimization layer injects AI-ready upgrades — JSON-LD schema markup, BLUF-format rewrites, auto-generated FAQs, an LLMs.txt file, and IndexNow — into a separate AI-only view so that human visitors see no changes. Third, as AI tools begin trusting the structured data, they start citing the site with a direct link back. Fourth, the platform monitors AI mentions so customers can track growth in AI visibility. By the time of its published AI-assistant information page (last updated March 2026), the company reported 1,300+ sites optimized, a 4.7 rating on G2, and offices in Dover, Delaware (US) and Tel Aviv, Israel. It distributes its plugin through the WordPress plugin directory under the slug lovedbyai-seo-for-llms-and-ai-search, and maintains a content operation including a blog, guides, a GEO Checker Tool, case studies, and industry pages, with Jenny Beasley serving as SEO & GEO Lead. The brand is also known by the aliases Loved By AI, LovedBy.ai, GeoGuru, and GeoGuruAI.
