67 companies now span the stack from SERP scraping to AI-answer visibility — only 8 show evidence of running their own web index

Asked (summary):

Map SERP API and AEO/GEO visibility companies by layer, with funding, acquisitions since 2025, pricing, and whether each runs its own web index — with a source cited for every number.

This researched market map covers 67 companies, each backed by at least one row-level source URL, scanned from live web results on 2026-10-06: 37 pure AEO/GEO visibility-and-optimization vendors, 15 pure SERP-extraction suppliers, 12 companies spanning SERP extraction and search/index APIs, and 3 bridging SERP extraction with AEO/GEO. Nine rows carry a disclosed funding figure or bootstrapping statement, and 8 companies appear in acquisition records announced since 2025. It is a broad researched map, not a claim of every vendor worldwide.

Findings

Adobe agreed to acquire Semrush for approximately $1.9 billion in cash (announced 2025-11-19, completed 2026-04-28) — the largest deal in this map and a direct supply-to-demand consolidation. blog.jonathanalbarran.com
Profound's $96M Series C is the largest disclosed funding among AEO/GEO visibility vendors; Bluefish follows with $68 million from NEA and Salesforce Ventures. hyperank.ai, wetheflywheel.com
Consolidation reaches down-market too: HubSpot bought XFunnel for $30M (2025-10-31) and Sitecore acquired Scrunch AI for a reported ~$225M (2026-06-03). searchinfluence.com, citedindex.com
Independent web indexes stay rare: sources evidence one for only 8 of 67 companies — including Brave Search, Exa.ai, Tavily, You.com, Mojeek and Keiro on the supply side — while AEO/GEO monitors generally observe third-party engines. finance.biggo.com

Method: researched market map of 67 SERP API and AEO/GEO visibility companies, one row per normalized company, scanned from live web results on 2026-10-06. Sources span multiple independent hosts (mostly third-party comparison and blog pages, plus some official company and investor pages); no single URL backs more than half the rows. Pricing, funding and acquisition figures are quoted verbatim with currencies, periods and qualifiers preserved; blank funding means not found or disclosed in this scan, never zero, and blank pricing means not publicly found, not free. Own-index status is conservative: only explicit yes/no evidence in the index basis is labeled; all other cases read "not established". Acquisition strings may repeat one deal across several source records. This is a broad researched map, not a census of every vendor worldwide.
