Frequently Asked Questions
What is AEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your content so AI-powered search engines and chatbots - like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini - can find, understand, and cite your brand in their responses.
How often should I run visibility checks?
We recommend running checks weekly. AI models update their training data and context windows periodically, and regular checks help you spot changes in visibility early.
What does the visibility score mean?
Your visibility score is the percentage of AI model queries that mentioned your brand out of the total checks run. A higher score means more AI engines reference your brand.
How do I improve my AEO score?
Focus on structured data (schema markup), clear sitemaps, proper robots.txt configuration, and creating authoritative content that AI models can easily reference. The Readiness tab provides specific recommendations.
Can I track multiple brands?
Yes! You can add as many brands as you need. Each brand gets its own visibility checks and readiness analysis.
