Your competitors appear in AI search.

AEO (AI Engine Optimization) is a working label for reviewing how public information may be found, summarized, or cited in AI-assisted search. It builds on SEO, content quality, technical access, and repeatable observation. It cannot ensure a citation or recommendation.

SEO covers crawlability, indexing, useful content, links, and search performance. AEO adds observation of generated answers and stricter review of public facts. llms.txt is optional, and structured data must match visible content; neither guarantees an AI citation.

The anonymous audit asks GPT five industry-relevant questions about your domain and analyzes its responses for citations, brand mentions, accuracy, and competitors. Signed-in and paid plans have separate engine and question allowances.

Without an account, you can run up to 3 anonymous audits per day, limited to 1 per domain, subject to daily capacity. Each anonymous audit checks 5 questions with 1 AI engine: GPT. The separate signed-in Free plan includes 3 full reports per month, 1 AI engine (GPT), 8 questions per report, and 7-day report history.

Our AEO reports provide recommendations tailored to your website. Common improvements include clearer FAQ content, appropriate Schema.org markup, accurate public information, and stronger topic coverage. Optional files can organize that information, but no file guarantees discovery or citations.

llms.txt is an optional community proposal for organizing links and public site information; it is not a Google ranking signal or a guaranteed AI search signal. agent.json is an experimental SkillAEO format, not an industry standard. Either file can help you organize public information, but cannot guarantee that an AI system will read, index, cite, or rank it.

The anonymous score summarizes 5 current GPT answers. Inspect the exact questions, answers, mentions, and cited URLs because a score is not a universal probability of future visibility. AI responses can vary between runs.

AI engines use their own changing retrieval and ranking systems. Clear, accurate, accessible content and corroborating sources may help them understand a site, but no markup or optional file guarantees a citation.

There is no reliable fixed timeline. Verify technical changes directly, then repeat the same documented questions and review analytics over time without assuming one site change caused every difference.

A local business can use the audit as a narrow GPT snapshot, then review its name, address, phone, hours, services, policies, profiles, and genuine reviews. No optimization or schema type guarantees a local recommendation.
