Let’s Clear Things Up

No. SEO optimizes for search engine rankings; AEOSearch measures whether AI assistants mention and recommend you when they answer a buyer's question directly, and diagnoses what is standing in the way. The two overlap — the pages that win AI citations are often well-structured, authoritative pages — but ranking first on Google doesn't guarantee an AI assistant cites you.

Small and medium-sized businesses, first and deliberately. The enterprise AI-visibility platforms sell contracts behind demo calls and onboarding weeks; we built the same class of measurement — grounded queries, per-engine breakdowns, evidence-backed diagnosis — to be self-serve and priced for teams without an enterprise budget. We're a young company growing our brand the same way we tell you to grow yours: by proving value, run after run. Working with businesses like yours is exactly how we plan to do it.

The free scorecard queries ChatGPT and Gemini. For a paid report, you choose from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok, with the model version and price shown in the configurator. Reports name the models recorded in the stored responses and disclose where that information is unavailable. Engine coverage follows your selection.

AI answers vary. Choose three passes to measure disagreement between answers, or a single pass for a snapshot. A single-pass report explicitly says volatility was not measured. Treat either as a dated measurement, not a permanent score.

Build a report in the configurator: choose the engines, models, questions and passes, then see the full amount before you pay. Reports start at $25 for 20 questions on GPT-4o mini and Gemini 2.5 Flash. A one-time report can include a $150 action plan and competitor reports at what the report costs, with a maximum of $50 each. Monthly measurement is optional, with the action plan included. Implementation is quoted separately.

Timing depends on the question count, engines, models and passes you choose, and on provider response times. You approve the questions before measurement starts. The report shows progress while it runs; monthly re-runs use the approved questions automatically.

Yes, on paid audits. Your report has an integrations page where you connect HubSpot or Pipedrive — or any HTTPS webhook you name. Completed audits, and leads captured by our WordPress plugin, are written there automatically, with a delivery log showing the 50 most recent events from the last 90 days, how many attempts each took, and why anything still failing failed last. Credentials you paste are stored encrypted and never shown back to you beyond the last four characters; if you pick the webhook, we generate its signing secret and show it once, at connect. Connecting is optional and off by default.

Sign in at /login with the email you used at checkout — we email you a one-time link, no password. Your dashboard lists every property that email owns: latest measurement, movement since the last run, and the plan. Have a report from before you had an account? Paste any report link you hold into the dashboard's "Add a report you already have" box and it joins the account.

Your plan sets out the gaps, the evidence and the work: a page to write, a format to change, a cited source to pursue, or schema to add. Carry it out yourself, hand it to your team, or ask us for an implementation quote. Later reports measure what changed without promising a gain.
